Practical breeding methods of Fruit Tree seedlings

All fruit trees want to reproduce seedlings, all the way is similar, nothing more than seedling propagation, cutting propagation, grafting propagation. In addition, there are other propagation methods such as striping and ramet, and there may be some other new propagation methods. Due to the lack of experimental experience, we will not introduce them here. The main purpose is to introduce the common methods. Now we can learn some specific methods.

1. Seed reproduction

For fruit trees with seeds, generally, the seeds are not too hard to break through germination, so they can sow and raise seedlings, but the germination rate of the seeds will be different, some will germinate quickly, some take longer, and some need artificial breakthrough germination. The temperature, moisture and light requirements for germination will also be different. Most of the seedlings can ensure stable genetic characters, which is the greatest advantage.

2. Cuttage propagation

The branches of some fruit trees are naturally germinating, and new plants can be cultivated by using their branches, stems and leaves. My teacher said that in theory, all fruit trees can be cut, but the survival rate is high and low. The growth time of cuttings is short and it is easy to survive. Is a popular way of asexual reproduction. However, if the cuttage is for many generations, it is easy to change and degenerate.

3. Grafting propagation

Some wild and adaptable fruit trees in the mountains were used to graft and cultivate high-quality large fruit trees. In this way, it may not only be able to adapt, improve disease resistance, but also grow strong fruits. Anyway, it is to combine good characters. With this method, the seedlings produced are of high quality and are suitable for popularization and planting. Will not be subject to some restrictions, but to pay attention to more problems, the operation is more troublesome.

4. Ramet

For example, a pineapple that can tiller can be used to cut off small tillers, and then cultivated separately to form a new plant. In this way, the growth and placement is relatively simple, this way, generally will not genetic decline, is a way of natural reproduction. Ramets are easy to cultivate and plant.

5. Pressing strip

Directly choose sturdy branches after ring cutting with soil, moss, wrap, after moisturizing, promote rooting, after rooting, cut off is a new seedling. This method is suitable for strong growth plants, there are some, it is difficult to take root. And this operation process is tedious and takes a long time. The nature is not necessarily stable.

In general, the first three kinds of fruit tree seedlings are mainly used, and the latter two are used occasionally, which are more suitable for some flowers. Bud strips are more suitable for some shrubs and fruit trees. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Choose the most suitable one and the best one.
