The invention relates to a
Carya cathayensis Sarg. container
seedling raising matrix, which is formed by blending the following raw materials by weight: 34-44 parts of
peat, 25-35 parts of perlites, 25-35 parts of garden soil and 1 part of
calcium magnesium phosphate. The fast
Carya cathayensis Sarg. container
seedling raising method consists of the following eight steps of: first, preparation ofthe container
seedling raising matrix according to the weight parts of raw materials, second, seed collection and pretreatment, third, warming and
germination acceleration of
Carya cathayensis Sarg. seeds, fourth, seed
potting, fifth,
thermal insulation for
overwintering, sixth, top dressing of the seedlings, seventh,
grafting, and finally outplanting in December. From seed collection to outplanting, only 16 months are needed for robust grafted seedlings that can be transplanted to a land for growing field crops. The method of the invention overcomes the defects of
slow growth speed of Carya cathayensis Sarg., long outplanting time, heavy matrix, and inconvenient ball
transplanting on mountains in prior art. The seedling raising cycle is shortened, so that the batches of seedling supply to society can be increased, and the utilization rates of a thermotank, a
seedbed, a
greenhouse and other equipment can also be improved, thus substantially increasing the
economic benefits of seedlingproduction units.
