The latest breeding methods of Ligustrum lucidum

Ligustrum lucidum is an evergreen shrub of Oleaceae. The trees of Ligustrum lucidum are very tall, luxuriant branches and leaves, neat tree shape, and have high ornamental value. And the fruit of Ligustrum lucidum has high medicinal value, mainly reducing blood sugar, anti-liver injury and other effects, can enhance humoral immune function, the planting area in our country is larger, so how to breed when planting privet? The following editor has brought you the breeding method of privet, let's have a look!

1. Sowing and reproduction

Before sowing and breeding, we should first select the land with soft and fertile soil, normal drainage and irrigation and no diseases and insect pests, mainly sandy soil. Then turn deeply and fertilize to ensure that the lower part of the soil layer is thick and the upper part is soft. The seed collection time of privet is generally around November every year, and the strong and robust trees are selected to collect seed mother trees. Then select healthy seeds and air-dry them after harvest to prevent direct sunlight. Should be sowed immediately after drying, its germination rate is high, sowing time should be paid attention to, if sowing in winter, there is no need to accelerate germination, on the contrary, accelerating germination can effectively improve the germination rate. Sowing is mainly sowing, comprehensively and evenly spread into the sowing hole, cover fine soil, pour enough water, do a good job of management, waiting for germination.

2. Cuttage propagation

Cutting propagation is also a common propagation method of Ligustrum lucidum. First of all, the branches that germinate and grow in spring should be selected at the end of each year, and then cut off and stored in a cool place such as a cellar. Then remove it in the spring of the following year and do cutting treatment. When cutting, we should pay attention to the specifications of cuttings, first of all, the top wound should be smooth, and then the cutting part should be cut off the slant. The aboveground part retains 2-3 leaves, and then they are vertically inserted into the cutting substrate, which can be used in the cutting medium and sowed and propagated in the soil. Pay attention to the cutting density, the distance between plants should be at least 25 cm. Do not cuttage too dense, to prevent the impact on growth, normal management, about 50-60 days will take root.

3. Striping propagation

Striping propagation is also a common method. First of all, choose the sturdy, disease-and pest-free branches on the robust trees every spring. Peel around the base, cut off the bark, and then wrap the ring in a plastic bag in wet soil or soaked grass. Just fasten the ends of the plastic bag. Generally, it will take root in the summer of that year, and after it takes root, it will be cut off from the base of the branch to become an independent and complete plant. Transplanting it to the soil for seedling management can generally be transplanting in the spring of the following year.

4. Ramet propagation

The propagation of individual plants is mainly based on the root tillers of strong privet trees. We should choose privet trees with strong growth, luxuriant branches and leaves and more roots and tillers in spring. Then cut the root tillers from the base of the tree, prepare the seedbed, and transplant the root tillers into the seedbed. The preparation of the seedbed is the same as the soil management of sowing and reproduction, we should also pay attention to the planting density, and then plant. After planting, we should pay attention to the management of fertilizer and water, strengthen the management, and become an independent plant when it takes root.

The above is a brief introduction of privet reproduction methods, privet reproduction methods are mainly determined according to the planting direction, if the family does ornamental cultivation, it is generally based on sowing and reproduction. If it is planted on a large scale, then the propagation methods of cutting and striping should be adopted. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
