Efficient red maple cuttage method

Abstract

An efficient red maple cuttage method includes the steps that a land with deep soil and much humus is selected and reclaimed in a southern mountainous area, with the altitude of 500-3000 m, in Anhui Province, after being leveled, the land is covered with organic humus by 20 cm, a seedbed is 1.2 m wide and 20 cm high, the furrow width is 30 cm, and watering is carried out sufficiently; tri-forked annual branches are selected as cuttage branches; the trimmed cuttage branches are disinfected, then roots are stained with rooting powder and inserted into soil of the seedbed by 3-5 cm, after the cuttage branches are inserted, the root parts are sprinkled with a layer of rooting powder, and water is sprayed according to the circumstances before sprouting to keep the soil moist; 7-15 days after sprouting, farmyard manure is applied according to the proportion of 500 kg/mu in a ditching furrow application mode; the branches are trimmed in autumn of the next year, only the main branches are reserved, and the other branches are trimmed out so that the main branches can fully absorb nutrients and grow fast; saplings can be transplanted when the ground diameter reaches 1 m or more; the follow-up growth cycle is managed according to a conventional management method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of cuttage technology, in particular to a high-efficiency cuttage method for red maple. Background technique [0002] Red maple, also known as red leaf feather maple, has a Latin scientific name: Acerpalmatum Thunbf. It is a variant of Acer palmatum in the Aceraceae family. It is a deciduous tree with a height of 2-4 meters. The branches are mostly slender and smooth, and are purple-red. Leaves palmate, 5-7 deep cracks, 5-10cm in diameter, lobes ovate-lanceolate, apex caudate-pointed, margin heavily serrated. Flowers terminal corymbs, purple. Samara, wings 2-3cm long, with an obtuse angle between the two wings. Red maple loves sunshine, suitable for warm and humid climate, afraid of hot sun exposure, relatively cold-tolerant, slightly drought-tolerant, not waterlogging-tolerant, suitable for fertile, loose and well-drained soil. When it germinates in early spring, the young leaves are bright red, densely covered wi...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Red maple can usually be propagated by grafting, cuttings or divisions. At present, cuttings are the main method of propagation. However, the existing cutting technology is not systematic, and the rooting rate is not high. Especially in summer, it is easy to die of dehydration, or due to excessive humidity and insufficient ventilation. , or lack of water and wilting and other causes of loss
