Cuttage Seedling Technology of Actinidia velutipes

Soft jujube kiwifruit and kiwifruit are of the same family, but there are some differences, that is, the fruit is hairless and looks like a cyan jujube on the outside, but there is still fluff on the branches, which has the advantage of strong adaptability and is planted from south to north, mainly growing in the woods. Therefore, if you want to breed this kind of kiwifruit, you may need to understand its growth environment and characteristics.

1. Growth environment

Mainly wild in the mixed trees deep forest, preferably under the forest with more deciduous leaves, some will also grow in sunny hillsides and hilly areas, like climbing trees to grow. I like cool and humid climate. Therefore, the best way to raise seedlings in a nursery bed is to choose mountains with deep, good air permeability, high humus content and good light.

2. Cutting preparation

Hardwood cuttings are mainly used to collect branches before sprouting in spring. generally, branches with a thickness of more than 0.7 cm and a length of more than 1 meter are collected and cut into cuttings with a length of 10 to 15 centimeters, requiring 2 or 3 full buds on the branches. Generally flat cut on the cut, oblique cut off the cut, the cut should be 2 cm away from the bud, do not damage the bud. The nursery bed should be 1.2 meters wide and not too long. It is best to cultivate it in the greenhouse according to the length of the greenhouse. The soil of the seedbed should be fine, and the soil can be sifted with a sieve, and the soil can be mixed with fertilizer, sifted together to level the soil.

3. Cuttage

When cutting, soak the lower end of the branch with rooting powder and water for about 1 hour. According to the decision of the branch, the soaking time of the hard branch is longer. Note that some rooting powder is insoluble in water, only soluble in alcohol, and the dosage is also different, this specific can ask the drugstore, generally know, the medicine will also be introduced. After watering thoroughly, insert the lower end of the branch obliquely into the soil, with a depth of 7 to 8 cm, as long as the bud is on the outside. Press the nearby soil. Just moisturize.

4. Cutting management

After cutting, it will take about a week or so to take root, while the hardwood will take root more slowly, generally about one to two months, and the rooting is complete. During this period of time to moisturize, but not stagnant water, moist easy to root, but stagnant water is easy to let retting. To heat preservation, low temperature, can not take root, high temperature growth stops, spring is mainly heat preservation, the cultivation temperature in the greenhouse is more appropriate, the acceptance of light will be blocked, try to avoid strong light. About 1 month after rooting, you can apply some light fertilizer and water, and use a small amount.

Soft jujube kiwifruit is a unique kiwifruit with high nutritional value, and there are many planting and cultivation, so seedling propagation is the best way to popularize. The above is a brief introduction to its cutting propagation, because this way is relatively rapid seedling formation.
