Rubber tree seed storage method

Abstract

The invention relates to a rubber tree seed storage method. The method includes: selecting normal seeds with water content more than 20%, soaking the selected seeds in carbendazim solution for disinfection, and then taking out the seeds for airing; taking fine river sand, and spraying the carbendazim solution for disinfection prior to airing; spreading a layer of the fine river sand at the bottom of a storage box, spreading the rubber tree seeds on the fine river sand, taking seed storage mixture, enabling the seed storage mixture to absorb water, and then spreading the mixture on the seeds; spreading the rubber tree seeds above the seed storage mixture, and then spreading the seed storage mixture; and by the analogy, spreading the fine river sand on the upper side of the seed storage mixture in the top layer, and storing at the temperature of 20-27 DEG C and in the relative humidity of 40-60%. The rubber tree seed storage method is simple in process, a large quantity of the rubber tree seeds are stored in a short period by the aid of the processes of seed selection, disinfection, storage, storage room temperature and humidity control and the like, the rubber tree seeds can be provided all the year around, a technical guarantee is provided for industrialized production of the rubber tree seedling budding and culture technology, and the method has broad popularization and application prospects.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of seed storage, and relates to a method for storing recalcitrant seeds, in particular to a method for storing rubber tree seeds. Background technique

[0002] Rubber tree seeds are recalcitrant seeds with no dormancy period and are not resistant to storage. They germinate immediately after they mature and fall off, and are highly sensitive to dehydration and low temperature. When the water content of the rubber tree seeds is equal to or less than 13%, the seeds cannot germinate, and the rubber tree seeds are prone to mold and rot if there is too much water under the condition of no ventilation, and the vitality of the rubber tree seeds generally does not exceed 6 days under the sun and rain in the wild. Since rubber tree seeds mature mainly in autumn, there is no supply of rubber tree seeds for nearly 7 months in a year. In production, they are generally collected and planted immediately. The growth of newly germinat...
