How to choose the seeds of Imperial Bamboo Grass? What are the methods of raising seedlings?

Emperor bamboo grass, also known as grain bamboo grass, sugarcane grass and so on, is a hybrid between elephant grass and American pennisetum, and has a very strong tillering ability. With high nutritional value and good palatability, it is a kind of green fodder often planted for raising cattle and sheep. When growing crazily, it can be up to 6m high, so it is called "the emperor in the grass". So how to choose the seeds of Emperor Bamboo Grass? What are the methods of raising seedlings? Next, let's have a look with the editor.

First, how to select the seeds of Phyllostachys pubescens

Phyllostachys pubescens belongs to asexual reproduction plants. The seeds of Elaeagnus angustifolia are relatively fine, so full and treated seeds should be selected. However, because the seedling emergence rate of yellow bamboo grass seed is very low and the growth rate is slow, the mature stem node of yellow bamboo grass should be used as seedling and cultivated in an asexual way. stem node cutting or rhizome transplanting can be used for rapid propagation and before bow seeding, pure yellow bamboo seed stems should be selected and purchased. Elephant grass and Guimu No.1 are very similar to emperor bamboo grass, and attention should be paid to identification during introduction.

Second, what are the seedling raising methods of Emperor bamboo grass?

1. Land selection and preparation

Phyllostachys pubescens is very hot, likes water and fertilizer, and is not resistant to waterlogging. Therefore, it is appropriate to choose the soil with deep soil layer, loose and fertile soil, sunny and good drainage performance. Ploughing deeply before planting to remove weeds, stones and other things.

The soil will be fine broken and loose, and heavy application of farm manure as base fertilizer, it is best to open the border for planting, which is conducive to drainage and field management. Sandy soil or hill slope land should be prepared as a border to facilitate irrigation, steep slope land should be planted in parallel along the contour line to facilitate soil and water conservation, flat clayey land and river beach low-lying land should be ridged and ditched between ridges to facilitate drainage.

To build a new base, it is best to turn the land deeply in the winter of the previous year, after winter freezing, to mature the soil, and then shallow ploughing before planting, applying 3000 kg of farm manure or 100kg of compound fertilizer per mu.

2. Seedling raising time

Generally speaking, it is more suitable to raise seedlings from February to May. But it is best to plant and raise seedlings when the temperature is above 15C in March. When the temperature is low, it can also be covered with plastic film insulation seedlings, which can be raised at any time of the year.

3. Seed festival preparation

Select mature plants over 6 months old, select healthy and pest-free stems as seed nodes, first tear off the leaves that wrap axillary buds and cut them into small segments with a knife. The blade of the knife should be beveled, and each segment should retain a node. There should be an axillary bud on each node, leaving the upper part of the bud short and the lower part long. In order to improve the survival rate, ABT rooting powder 100ppm can be used for 28 hours (1 gram rooting powder can deal with 3000-5000 stem nodes). Then dip the cut with plant ash or soak in 20% lime water for 30 minutes and carry out antiseptic disinfection. The seed nodes cut on the same day will be planted in time to prevent the loss of moisture.

4. Seedling land preparation

The sandy land or loose loam with good water, fertilizer and light conditions should be selected as the breeding ground. 3000 kilograms of farm manure is applied per mu, and the land should be cultivated deeply so that the surface soil is fine and loose, the soil surface is flat, and the width of the border is 11. 5%. 5 m, make a drainage ditch between the border.

The above is the introduction of yellow bamboo grass, as the saying goes, good seeds are the hope of a bumper harvest, if the introduction is not pure yellow bamboo grass, it will bring huge losses. In general, in order to ensure the emergence rate of the stem node (rhizome) of Phyllostachys pubescens, we should cultivate seedlings first and then transplant.
