Key points of Cuttage Propagation of Wheat and Plum

Wheat and plum are shrubs, which are larger in the wild than artificially cultivated, and now there are more and more varieties of wheat and plum. Wheat and plum are very beautiful when they bloom and are now distributed all over China and Japan. Some flower friends will cultivate wheat and plum as a courtyard plant. So what problems should be paid attention to in artificial breeding of wheat and plum?

Wheat and plum

Wheat and plum are often propagated by ramet or grafting, and mountain peach is used as rootstock. Cutting propagation, the main summer semi-mature branches are easy to survive. The best period of cuttage seedling raising is from the end of June to the beginning of July every year. In the direct insertion method, wood strips were used to punch holes in the substrate before insertion, with a row spacing of 5 cm × 5 m and 20 cuttings per row. Four kinds of rooting promoters: (GGR) rooting powder, indolebutyric acid (IBA), indoleacetic acid (IAA) and naphthylacetic acid (NAA) were selected to set 6 concentration gradients of 50 × 10-6, 100 × 10-6, 200 × 10-6, 500, 1000 × 10-6, 2000 × 10-6, the first three low concentrations were soaked for a long time (1 hour, 2 hours), and the last 3 high concentrations were dipped in 5s speed treatment, each treatment 40 cuttings, repeated 3 times. At the same time, the cuttings treated with water were used as control. The cutting depth is 1 / 3 (about 3 cm) of the length of the cuttings, compacting the substrate around the cuttings, immediately watering the cuttings with a spray pot, so that the cuttings are in full contact with the substrate. The arch steel frame is inserted horizontally on the bed, and the frame is covered with plastic film (built-in temperature and humidity meter), compacted around.

Habits and cultivation points of wheat and plum

The adaptability of wheat and plum is very strong, and has a certain degree of cold resistance, so it can be often seen in courtyards and roadsides, and is widely distributed in China and Japan. The ornamental nature of wheat and plum is high, and it blossoms before the leaves in spring, which is very beautiful.

Wheat and plum

Wheat and plum have a certain cold tolerance strong adaptability, like light, more cold tolerance, strong adaptability, drought tolerance, but also more resistant to water and moisture; well-developed root system. Avoid low-lying stagnant water, heavy soil, like to be born in the moist, loose and well-drained sandy soil.

Wheat and plum should be planted with soil and water, and then covered with soil after water infiltration. If transplanting with leaves, 50% shading net should be used for shading. It is best to use sprinkler irrigation after loading, spraying for 30 seconds a day. In the slow seedling stage, it is usually watered once every 10 days. Weeding and soil loosening should be carried out for 4 times during the growing season. Since the introduction of wheat and plum, cutting propagation has been carried out every year, which does not affect the growth of the tree potential. The crown of wheat and plum is neat and plump, the tree shape is oval and spherical, it is perfect and does not need to be trimmed. If it is planted as a flower hedge, the plant spacing should be 3 plants per meter, and there is no need to re-cut, only individual protruding parts can be trimmed.
