The invention relates to a walnut
tree breeding method and provides a rapid breeding method for walnut improved varieties. The method comprises the processes of
rootstock breeding, improved-variety scion breeding,
grafting and field management after
grafting. The
rootstock breeding process includes that soil deep ploughing is carried out in winter in the current year,
bedding and seeding are carried out after unfreezing in spring in the next year, and a walnut tree
seedling is cultivated. Compared with a traditional
grafting method, the rapid breeding method is characterized in that 1) when improved-variety seed trees or
cutting orchard young sprouts grow to 30-40cm, 3-4 buds are reserved, pinching is carried out, and thin and weak buds on base portions of branches are removed in time after pinching and
sprouting; 2) the grafting is carried out when the thickness of the walnut tree
seedling 20cm away from the ground reaches more than 0.7cm. According to the rapid breeding method for the walnut improved varieties, new breakthroughs of current-year seeding, current-year grafting and current-year
transplantation of walnut breeding are achieved,
transplantation and garden building are higher than common grafting and breeding than 1-2 years, the problem of overhigh production cost of walnut
tree planting is resolved, the step of walnut variety improving can be quickened,
economic benefits are produced as soon as possible, and industrialized development of walnut planting is facilitated.
