The invention discloses a method for propagating
Taxus madia nursery stocks. The method comprises the steps of (1) preparing a sterile fine-sand seed
bed and setting up a shading shed; (2) mixing turf with
perlite in the proportion of 6:4 to prepare matrix
nutrition cups; (3) matrix
nutrition cups are evenly spaced and placed on the seed
bed and sterilized fully; (4) selecting branches of
Taxus madia plants of three to four year olds in spring or in autumn for cuttage in
nutrition cups; and (5) keeping the temperature of the seed
bed to be within a range of 18-30 DEG C and the
humidity to be 65-70%, spraying foliage
fertilizer for the first time after 9-10 days, spraying the foliage
fertilizer once every 7-10 days during the fast-growing period of nursery stocks,
cutting roots by air or breaking roots through movement of nutrition cups, stopping spraying the foliage
fertilizer when most of roots grow, and then hardening seedlings till the next spring to conduct large field
transplantation. According to the method, propagated
Taxus madia nursery stock roots are balanced, neat and robust, the rate of survival exceed 96%, the
seedling rate exceed 95%, the
survival rate of
transplanting can achieve 98%, and industrialized production can be achieved.
