The Cuttings Of Lycium Chinense Mill. And Its Biological And Physiological Characteristics

All the tests on Chinese Wolfberry for two years were carried out on the experiment farms in Agricultural Institution of Huainan city. Chinese Wolfberry grows easier and breeds more quickly. Its reproduction is significant and can be widely used for landscape and forestry.The cutting of Chinese Wolfberry is easy to manage and the cutting can be processed without special media beforehand and without managements and expensive costs after the cutting. The cutting or seedlings is apt to grow in local areas, and also to stand in similar climatic areas.The cutting varys greatly in different regions. It grows differently about biological and physiological characteristics, if different treatments are performed such as different seasons, different depths, different mediums and cutting material from different parts of stems.The comparisons of treatments are also done in this dissertation. The results show as the follows:Dormancy happens in summer and the nutrient of crown branches are ample and vitality is strong in this period, thus survive more smoothly. But it is not suitable in autumn in local areas, because duration flowering here is from September to November. In spring, the rooting process require longer time for lignification and often sprouting processes first. The survival rate can reach 100% with the cutting length of 25-30 cm both in spring and in summer in fertile plantations. The length can be much larger in such areas as low ground water level and barren urban soil. The test shows Chinese Wolfberry can grow well and flower in current year with deeper depths of cutting material, such as 40-50 cm in barren urban soil.The cutting material from different parts of stems have significant features. As far as dormancy is concerned in summer, the below part of stems grow robustly but booming is weak; the upper is to the contrary and the middle grow and flower neutrally. All live on vegetative growth in spring, so little difference happens, but growth potential is different significantly.The tests also prove as the follows:All the tests prove the survival rate of most cuttings can reach 100%, and a few do not sprout temporarily but do in shorter time even in the second year.The dormancy phase can be disturbed by cutting and the cutting material of stems sprout earlier than the mother body do even in the same circumstance. The cause of this phenomenon is to be studied.Inverse cutting is another measure of cutting but develops magnificent landscape, which can be used as an approach designed for pot plant. This treatment is perfect for older cutting, because its polarity decline ,even disappear.In a word, Chinese Wolfberry can be aimed for many use by man-made cultivation, which can respond quickly to the microclimate such as heat, moisture and so on. The treatments of cutting are easier, but survival rate is higher, which is supposed to have mass production.
