The invention discloses a
seedling culture method for promoting rooting during oriental cherry
grafting. Current-year branches of grass cherry (dedicated stock for oriental cherry
grafting, suspected to belong to cherry strain) are used as stock, current-year branches of good oriental cherry stock are used as scion,
cut-
grafting is adopted, cuttage is conducted after grafting, the stock is rooted first after cuttage, and massive secondary rooting is caused at a graft union after
transplantation to form oriental cherry variety seedlings with firm interfaces. In mid-to-end of January and early-to-mid of February each year, good stock branches which grow robustly are collected for grafting, then cuttage is conducted directly in a
greenhouse or field
cutting is conducted directly, stock is transplanted into pots or directly planted in the ground after
cutting rooting, and massive rooting and
seedling culture of the graft union are induced by means of cultivation techniques. The advantages of the two breeding methods, namely grafting and cuttage, are combined and utilized, universality is high, and the method is suitable for expanding propagation of most oriental cherry varieties and wild oriental cherry
germplasm resources; furthermore, massive rooting of a grafting position is achieved, the graft union is not broken easily, and thickness difference of ordinary grafted seedlings is avoided.
