The invention provides a two-stage
seedling culture method of
water chestnuts. The method comprises the steps as follows: firstly, seed
water chestnuts are used for
germination,
cladodes put forth after emergence, 15-20 first-stage seedlings are obtained from each seed water chestnut, the first-stage seedlings are transplanted in a
seedling raising field, stolons put forth from the obtained seedlings to form clusters, ramet seedlings are obtained, the number of ramet seedlings of each
seedling is 15-60, the ramet seedlings of the seedlings in the seedling raising field are lifted and taken outof the field, and then, second-stage seedlings are transplanted in the field. The propagation coefficient of the
water chestnuts is greatly increased, and the requirement of second-stage seedlings for one mu of field can be met only by use of 8-15 seed water chestnuts, the
bed width of a
seedbed in cultivation of first-stage seedlings is 1-1.2 m, space is saved, management is facilitated, healthycladodes putting forth from the seed water chestnuts are used as the first-stage seedlings, the quality of seedlings is improved, root systems of the second-stage seedlings are soaked by 250 g / L
azoxystrobin suspending agent or 10% difenoconazole
water dispersible granules for 12 h to prevent stem
blight of the water chestnuts, so that the water chestnuts have enhanced
disease resistance after being transplanted to the field, water chestnut corms grow uniformly, and the large fruit rate and yield are high.
