Rieger begonia floating-tray seedling raising method through cutting

Abstract

The invention relates to a Rieger begonia floating-tray seedling raising method through cutting, belonging to a Rieger begonia seedling raising method. The Rieger begonia vegetative propagation method through cutting in the prior art is conducted one dry mediums and has the disadvantages of troublesome management, weak cultivated seedlings and small production scale. The method comprises the following steps of: preparing a nutrient solution pond; preparing nutrient solution; using foamed plastics to prepare floating trays for seedling raising; mixing turf, pearlite and charred husks; adding water to prepare mediums; containing the mediums in the trays; picking seedlings; cutting; inserting prepared cuttings into the floating trays; putting the floating trays in the nutrient solution pond; covering the upper part of the nutrient solution pond with a sunshade net; and checking and replenishing water at an interval of 5 to 7 days, lifting the seedlings after approximately 25 days and containing and permanently planting the seedlings in pots. The Rieger begonia floating-tray seedling raising method through cutting has the advantages that the management is easy and daily watering is not required; the cultivated Rieger begonia seedlings are robust and the survival rate of the seedlings which are contained and permanently planted in the pots is high; the robust Rieger begonia seedlings can be cultivated all the year round and the production efficiency is high; and the method is suitable for mass and factory production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a method for raising seedlings of Rieger crabapple, in particular to a method for raising seedlings of Rieger crabapple by floating tray cutting. Background technique [0002] Rieger Begonia belongs to the genus Begonia, also known as Rose Begonia, which is a hybrid strain of bulbous Begonia and wild Begonia. Rieger Begonia is a high-end flower variety that blooms every autumn, with alternate single leaves and various flower shapes, mostly double petals.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Prior art Rieger Begonia asexual cutting propagation is mainly carried out on the dry substrate, and its disadvantages are: 1. The water environment for seedling growth is not stable enough, and due to the evaporation of water in the substrate, it is easy to cause drought, especially in summer, under high temperature and drought. water evaporates faster

2. The management is troublesome. Due to the rapid water loss of the dry substrate, in order to maintain the water balance, it is necessary to check and replenish water frequently, which increases the labor cost of the enterprise

3. The nutrient supply is unstable. Due to the frequent watering of the dry substrate, the nutrient elements in the substrate are easily lost with the water, and the nutritional status in the substrate changes greatly, which is not conducive to the stable supply of nutrients.

4. The production efficiency is low and the cost of seedlings is high, which cannot meet the viewing and tasting needs of people all over the world

After extensive review of patent documents and public publications at home and abroad, there is no Rieger Begonia seedling raising method that is convenient for management, high in production efficiency, high in seedling growth rate, suitable for large-scale production, and able to meet the needs of people all over the world.
