The invention discloses a method for improving the
afforestation quality of Alnus formosana. The method includes the steps of:
bud seedling cultivation,
seedling cultivation in light substrate containers, forest land clearing and
land preparation,
seedling planting for
afforestation, seedling checking and complementary planting and
young forest cultivation, wherein two-stage seedling cultivation is adopted, roots of
bud seedlings are trimmed before
transplanting is conducted, and seedling cultivation by using the light substrate containers and root
pruning by air are adopted, so that growth ofmain roots is inhibited, multi-level lateral roots are promoted to grow so as to form a large number of root balls, and the
stress resistance is strong; when the seedlings grow to a height of 15-20 cm, the seedlings can be taken out from the containers and used for
afforestation, the period of seedling cultivation is shortened, the production cost is saved, the production efficiency is improved,and large-scale, specialized and industrialized production is achieved; the seedlings has a small
transpiration area, a
high water content is maintained in the seedling bodies and substrates, and theseedlings with bags are transplanted, so that no damage to the roots is caused, growth begins as soon as the seedlings is transplanted in soil, no
recovery periods is achieved, and the
survival rate of afforestation is 95% or above; the seedlings have no mechanical damage, obvious
apical dominance and rapid growth, and is beneficial to cultivation of trunks, so that high-quality, fast-growing andhigh-yield forests are cultivated.
