Propagation methods of planting figs

Cutting, striping, sowing and other methods can be propagated, but asexual reproduction is commonly used in production practice, and sexual reproduction is only used in breeding.

The main results are as follows: (1) Cuttage propagation: fig branches are easy to produce adventitious roots, and cutting propagation is often used in production. The suitable period for cutting is from mid-February to late March. The branches with a diameter of 1.5ml and 2cm were cut from the robust mother plant. Cut the cuttings of 20-25 cm in length, insert them in the seedbed according to the row spacing of 5 × 15 cm, and the depth of the cuttings is about 1 × 3 of the cuttings. Watering and covering grass after planting, and paying attention to weeding and topdressing after survival. In autumn, the plant was transplanted again according to the row spacing of 15 cm × 30 cm, and it could be planted out of the nursery in the next autumn.

(2) striping propagation: this method can be used for a small amount of reproduction in the garden next to the house or for early fruit. Horizontal, curved branches or heap soil strips are generally used, that is, the branches are buried horizontally or bent into the soil in spring, or the base of the tiller is buried with soil, and after it takes root, it is separated from the mother plant in autumn and winter and planted with roots.

(3) sowing and propagation: in autumn, the ripe fruit is collected, the seeds are taken out, mixed with moist fine sand for stratification treatment, and sown in the first ten days of March of the following year. Sow the seeds evenly in the seedbed, cover with fine soil and cover with grass to moisturize. It can sprout about 20 days after sowing. After emergence, we carried out inter-seedling, seedling transplanting, strengthening seedling management and so on. It can be cultivated for 3 years before it can be planted in the nursery. The fruiting life of seedlings is long, and it is not easy to maintain the good characters of the mother, so it is not often used in production. However, this method plays an important role in breeding, or in colder areas, in order to obtain cold-resistant and precocious new varieties.
