The invention relates to a method for increasing the
seedling rate of seeds of extremely-small-
population plants, i.e.,
hedyotis diffusa, and improving the growth state of seedlings. The method comprises the steps of collecting and screening the seeds, cleaning and sterilizing the seeds, promoting
germination of the seeds, planting,
transplanting and managing the seedlings. According to the method, the
seedling rate of the seeds and the growth performance of the seedlings are remarkably improved, the
seedling rate of normal seeds reaches 96.72%, the seedling rate of small seeds reaches 90.25%, the seedlings can grow to 45.52 cm in one year, the ground
diameter can reach 5.04 mm, the seedlings are robust and consistent in growth state, and a seedling foundation, a scientific basis and a
technical support can be provided for returning to nature and achieving
population reconstruction; and a technical foundation is laid for the aspects of biological protection, ecological restoration,
resource development and utilization and the like of the species, and the method has great practical significance for rescuing the endangered
tree species.
