Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of plant cultivation technology, specifically a method for cultivating white thorn plants in summer. Background Technology

[0002] Nitraria tangutorum Bobrov is an important plant belonging to the Nitraria genus of the Nitrariaceae family. It is widely distributed in arid and semi-arid regions, especially deserts and saline-alkali lands. Due to its resilient growth characteristics, Nitraria tangutorum plays an important role not only in the natural ecosystem but is also widely utilized by humans. Its well-developed root system penetrates deep into the ground, strengthening soil structure and reducing water evaporation, thus effectively preventing desertification and playing a role in sand fixation and sand control.

[0003] The fruit of the white thorn is rich in nutrients, including vitamins, amino acids, and polysaccharides, and has significant economic and medicinal value. These fruits are not only edible but also used to make beverages, wine, and vinegar, thus holding an important place in the local economy. Furthermore, the medicinal value of the white thorn is also highly regarded. It is sweet and sour in taste and has the effects of strengthening the spleen and aiding digestion, promoting lactation, and calming the nerves. It is often used to treat symptoms such as spleen and stomach weakness and indigestion. At the same time, the white thorn is also considered an excellent feed source, effectively promoting growth in livestock such as pigs.

[0004] Despite the significant ecological and economic benefits of planting *Nitraria tangutorum*, traditional planting methods, primarily concentrated in winter or autumn, face numerous challenges. In arid regions like Xinjiang, the short winter planting period makes seedling preservation and transportation difficult, resulting in a survival rate typically lower than ideal. Especially in spring and winter, seedlings are easily damaged due to temperature fluctuations and insufficient rainfall, further impacting survival rates. Furthermore, planting bare-root seedlings in summer presents even lower survival rates due to the high temperatures and dry conditions, hindering root adaptation. This severely restricts the promotion and application of *Nitraria tangutorum*.

[0005] Therefore, this invention proposes a method for planting white thorn plants in summer to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for cultivating Nitraria tangutorum in summer, overcoming the problem of low survival rate when cultivating Nitraria tangutorum in high-temperature and dry environments using existing technologies. Through a series of optimized seedling raising, transplanting, irrigation, and shading measures, the growth and survival rate of Nitraria tangutorum in summer are significantly improved, especially in harsh environments such as arid and saline-alkali land.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for planting white thorn plants in summer, comprising the following steps:

[0008] (1) Seedling raising: On a flat ground, create a square seedling plot. Mix sand, loam and farmyard manure in a ratio of 3:6:1, put the mixture into a non-woven bag and sow the seeds of white thorn plant at a depth of 2 cm. Maintain appropriate humidity before emergence.

[0009] (2) Lifting seedlings: When the seedlings grow to 10-20 cm, gently remove the seedlings along with the non-woven bag to ensure the integrity of the seedlings;

[0010] (3) Seedling transportation: Pack the seedlings into plastic transport boxes, trim excess stems, and ensure that the seedlings are arranged tightly in the transport boxes;

[0011] (4) Transplanting: Dig planting holes in the planting area of ​​white thorn, put the prepared seedlings in the planting holes, backfill the soil and gently tamp it down with your feet.

[0012] (5) Planting: Plant according to the specifications of 3 meters row spacing and 1 meter plant spacing. Water thoroughly immediately after planting and keep the soil moist.

[0013] (6) Set up a shade net: Set up a shade net above each white thorn seedling after planting to protect the seedlings;

[0014] (7) Irrigation: Water once every 3 days to ensure sufficient soil moisture.

[0015] Preferably, in step (1), before sowing, the seeds are soaked in boiling or warm water for 15 to 30 minutes, and mechanical peeling or chemical soaking is used.

[0016] Preferably, in step (1), the mixing ratio of sand, loam and farmyard manure is 3:6:1.

[0017] Preferably, in step (3), the height of the transport box is 30 cm, and when loading seedlings, a layer of soft material is laid at the bottom of the transport box. The soft material includes straw, sponge or foam pad to reduce the vibration and damage to the seedling roots during transportation.

[0018] Preferably, in step (4), the size of the planting hole is 30 cm × 30 cm × 30 cm.

[0019] Preferably, in step (5), watering should be carried out every 3 days within 1-2 weeks after planting.

[0020] Preferably, in step (6), the shade net is removed 5 days after the seedlings have grown.

[0021] Preferably, in step (7), after the white thorn seedlings have survived for 10 days, the irrigation frequency is adjusted according to the growth of the seedlings and the ambient humidity. Specifically, watering is done once every 10 days, and the amount of water each time should be 30%-50% of the soil volume of the planting hole to maintain the water required for their normal growth.

[0022] Preferably, in step (2), the seedlings need to be thoroughly watered one day before transplanting to increase soil moisture, ensure the integrity of the seedling root system, and reduce damage to the root system during transplanting.

[0023] Preferably, in step (1), after sowing, the soil is watered thoroughly for the first time, and the amount of water is such that the soil in each non-woven bag is saturated with water to ensure that the soil is fully moistened, which helps the seeds germinate.

[0024] This invention provides a method for planting white thorn plants in summer. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. By optimizing seedling cultivation, seedling raising, transportation, transplanting, shading, and irrigation management, this invention significantly improves the survival rate of *Nitraria tangutorum* seedlings in high-temperature and arid environments. In practical applications in the Karamay desert area, the survival rate of *Nitraria tangutorum* seedlings reached 98%, far exceeding the 80% survival rate of traditional bare-root seedling planting in spring. This invention is particularly suitable for extreme climatic conditions characterized by high temperature, low rainfall, and high evaporation, solving the problem of low survival rates in harsh environments using traditional planting methods, and providing an effective vegetation solution for ecological restoration in arid areas.

[0026] 2. During seedling raising and transplanting, this invention uses non-woven bags for seedling cultivation, avoiding the moisture loss and mechanical damage caused by root exposure to air during traditional bare-root seedling transportation and transplanting. The non-woven bags are breathable and biodegradable, allowing seedling roots to penetrate the bag walls and directly embed themselves in the soil, thus ensuring natural root extension and close contact with the soil. This effectively reduces root damage during transplanting and further improves seedling survival rates.

[0027] 3. Regarding irrigation management, this invention employs a scientifically controlled irrigation frequency. Irrigation is carried out every 3 days in the initial planting stage to ensure the seedlings receive sufficient water during their adaptation period. After 10 days, the irrigation frequency is adjusted to once every 10 days. By reducing the irrigation frequency, the root system of the *Nitraria tangutorum* seedlings is encouraged to grow into deeper soil layers, gradually cultivating their ability to obtain water independently. This irrigation strategy not only conserves water resources but also enhances the drought resistance of the seedlings, enabling them to grow well even in water-scarce environments.

[0028] 4. Each step of this invention, including seedling cultivation, seedling lifting, transportation, transplanting, shading, and irrigation management, is designed as a standardized and easy-to-operate process, ensuring the method's replicability and simplicity, making it suitable for ecological restoration projects in large-scale desertified areas. Through standardized operating procedures, this invention can effectively reduce labor and technical costs, facilitate widespread application, and provide efficient and sustainable technical support for ecological restoration and desertification control in arid and semi-arid regions.

[0032] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Please see the attached Figure 1-3 This invention provides a method for planting white thorn plants in summer, comprising the following steps:

[0034] (1) Seedling raising: On a flat ground, create a square seedling plot. Mix sand, loam and farmyard manure in a ratio of 3:6:1, put the mixture into a non-woven bag and sow the seeds of white thorn plant at a depth of 2 cm. Maintain appropriate humidity before emergence.

[0035] In this embodiment, a seedling plot is first marked out on a flat surface. This plot is constructed as a square using wooden planks 1 meter long, 10 centimeters wide, and 1 centimeter thick, to hold the non-woven fabric seedling bags, ensuring their neat arrangement and stability. The seedling substrate is a mixture of sand, loam, and farmyard manure in a 3:6:1 ratio. The sand provides good water permeability and aeration, helping to prevent waterlogging and seed rot; the loam provides moderate water retention and nutrients; and the farmyard manure, as organic fertilizer, provides the basic nutrients needed by the early-stage seedlings of *Nitraria tangutorum*.

[0036] In this embodiment, the prepared mixed substrate is filled into non-woven fabric seedling bags. The non-woven fabric bags are 12 cm high and 6 cm in diameter, are biodegradable, will not affect the environment during subsequent seedling raising and transplanting, and have good air permeability, providing suitable breathing conditions for the roots of *Nitraria tangutorum*. After filling the seedling bags with the substrate, *Nitraria tangutorum* seeds are sown in each seedling bag at a planting depth of 2 cm to provide a suitable soil covering thickness for seed germination.

[0037] To break the dormancy of *Nitraria tangutorum* seeds and improve their germination rate, this embodiment employs warm water treatment before sowing. Specifically, the seeds are soaked in warm water for 15 to 30 minutes. This effectively softens the seed coat, activates the growth hormones within the seed, and makes germination easier. Furthermore, this embodiment also performs mechanical peeling to remove the outer hard skin, further improving the germination success rate.

[0038] After sowing, thoroughly water the substrate in the seedling bags to ensure the soil is saturated and moist. Thereafter, before emergence, lightly spray water on the surface daily to maintain suitable humidity. Once all seedlings have emerged, adjust the watering frequency to once every 5 days, gradually reducing the water supply to allow the seedlings to adapt to the environment and promote root growth.

[0039] The above-mentioned seedling cultivation method can provide a healthy and well-developed seedling foundation for the subsequent planting of white thorn plants, further improving the survival rate and stress resistance of seedlings in the subsequent steps.

[0040] (2) Lifting seedlings: When the seedlings grow to 10-20 cm, gently remove the seedlings along with the non-woven bag to ensure the integrity of the seedlings;

[0041] In this embodiment, to ensure a smooth seedling lifting operation, the substrate in the seedling plot is thoroughly watered the day before lifting to ensure high soil moisture and a loose substrate. This reduces the pulling resistance on the roots during lifting, lowering the risk of root breakage or damage. Sufficient soil moisture helps to create adequate support, allowing the seedlings and substrate in the non-woven bag to be securely extracted together.

[0042] In the seedling removal process, this embodiment employs a gentle method to remove the seedling along with the non-woven bag as a whole, in order to maintain the integrity of the seedling root system and the stability of the substrate. The use of the non-woven bag plays an important role at this stage because it has good air permeability and biodegradability, and can provide additional protection for the root system during the removal process, preventing the exposed roots from directly contacting the external environment and reducing the stimulation of environmental changes on the seedling root system.

[0043] When some seedling roots have penetrated the non-woven bag and penetrated into the substrate of the seedling plot, this embodiment recommends gently removing these roots manually. Specifically, use a small shovel to dig along the outer edge of the non-woven bag to ensure the root system's extensibility is not damaged and to preserve the integrity of the root structure to the greatest extent possible. This operation further reduces mechanical damage to the roots during seedling removal and provides stable root support for the subsequent transplanting process.

[0044] By employing the aforementioned scientifically sound seedling-lifting process, this embodiment effectively reduces root damage caused by soil dryness or improper handling during the lifting process. Watering before lifting and the use of non-woven bags not only improve lifting efficiency but also ensure that the seedlings have healthy root systems at transplanting time, enabling the white thorn plants to quickly adapt to the new soil environment and establish stable roots after transplanting.

[0045] (3) Seedling transportation: Pack the seedlings into plastic transport boxes, trim excess stems, and ensure that the seedlings are arranged tightly in the transport boxes;

[0046] In this embodiment, the seedlings, after being dug up, are neatly packed into plastic transport boxes with a height of 30 cm. When loading the seedlings, a layer of soft material is first laid at the bottom of the transport box to prevent damage to the seedling roots or the bottom of the non-woven fabric bag due to bumps during transportation. The soft material can be straw, sponge, or foam padding, as these materials have good cushioning properties and can effectively protect the seedling roots.

[0047] During packing, this embodiment optimizes the arrangement of seedlings, packing them tightly to save space and reduce shaking. If the seedling height exceeds the height of the transport box or the stems are too long, it is recommended to trim the excess stems appropriately to ensure the seedlings maintain a reasonable height within the transport box, preventing bending or damage due to space constraints during transport. The trimmed stems are usually the excessively tall top parts, and this will not affect the subsequent growth of the seedlings.

[0048] After the transport crates are full, the seedlings are loaded into transport vehicles for handling. During this process, it is ensured that the transport crates are placed stably to prevent tilting or falling, thus guaranteeing the integrity and freshness of the seedlings during transport. Through these scientific packing and securing measures, the seedlings arrive at the transplanting site in good condition, providing a guarantee for subsequent transplanting.

[0049] (4) Transplanting: Dig planting holes in the planting area of ​​white thorn, put the prepared seedlings in the planting holes, backfill the soil and gently tamp it down with your feet.

[0050] In this embodiment, planting holes are dug at the planting site of *Nitraria tangutorum*. The planting holes are 30 cm × 30 cm × 30 cm in size to ensure that the seedling roots have enough space to take root and to accommodate the entire non-woven fabric bag. The location and depth of the planting holes are designed to meet the growth needs of *Nitraria tangutorum*, maintain good soil looseness, and ensure healthy root growth after transplanting.

[0051] In this embodiment, the seedlings in the nutrient pots inside the non-woven bags are placed directly into the planting holes without removing the non-woven bags. The non-woven bags are biodegradable and can gradually degrade in the soil without hindering the seedling roots, while also reducing root damage that may occur during traditional transplanting due to bag removal.

[0052] After placing the seedlings in the planting holes, in this embodiment, the previously excavated soil is backfilled into the holes, gently tamped down to ensure close contact between the roots and the soil, preventing the plant from becoming loose and affecting its root stability. During the backfilling process, care should be taken not to apply excessive pressure to the seedling roots, keeping the soil moderately loose to facilitate further root expansion and growth. Through the above-described reasonable transplanting operation, the white thorn seedlings can quickly adapt to the new environment, laying the foundation for subsequent growth.

[0053] (5) Planting: Plant according to the specifications of 3 meters row spacing and 1 meter plant spacing. Water thoroughly immediately after planting and keep the soil moist.

[0054] In this embodiment, the white thorn seedlings are planted with a row spacing of 3 meters and a plant spacing of 1 meter. This 3-meter row spacing and 1-meter plant spacing design ensures that each white thorn seedling receives sufficient light and ventilation, which is beneficial for root expansion and leaf growth, while avoiding excessive competition between plants for soil moisture and nutrients. Furthermore, this planting density facilitates subsequent irrigation and maintenance management.

[0055] After planting, each *Nitraria tangutorum* seedling is immediately watered thoroughly to ensure close contact between the roots and the surrounding soil, reducing stress on the roots during transplanting. Subsequently, for 1-2 weeks after planting, watering is performed every 3 days to maintain soil moisture and meet the seedlings' basic water needs. As the seedlings gradually adapt to the environment, watering is adjusted according to actual temperature and rainfall to avoid excessively dry or waterlogged soil.

[0056] Through the above planting steps, this embodiment provides a suitable growing space and water environment for the white thorn seedlings, helping them to successfully overcome the initial adaptation period after planting, further improving the survival rate, and laying the foundation for subsequent healthy growth.

[0057] (6) Set up a shade net: Set up a shade net above each white thorn seedling after planting to protect the seedlings;

[0058] In this embodiment, after transplanting, a shade net is erected above each *Nitraria tangutorum* seedling. The position and height of the shade net are adjusted according to the size of the seedlings and the planting density to ensure that each seedling receives adequate shade and to prevent excessive water evaporation from the leaves and drying of the soil surface caused by direct sunlight. The shade net is usually constructed with sufficient ventilation space to prevent excessive temperature accumulation, while providing a gentle light environment for the seedlings to meet their basic photosynthetic needs.

[0059] In this embodiment, the shade net is used continuously in the initial stage after transplanting, typically for about 5 days, and then removed after the seedlings have gradually adapted to the environment. The 5-day shading period provides a transitional environment for the seedlings, allowing them to receive appropriate protection during the adaptation phase and reducing stress responses caused by sudden temperature changes.

[0060] By setting up a sunshade net at the initial stage of planting, this embodiment provides the necessary environmental buffer for the seedlings of Nitraria tangutorum, enabling them to grow smoothly under hot summer conditions and laying the foundation for subsequent natural adaptation and healthy development.

[0061] (7) Irrigation: Water once every 3 days to ensure sufficient soil moisture.

[0062] In this embodiment, during the first 10 days after planting, the planting area is watered every 3 days to ensure the soil maintains a suitable moisture level to meet the initial growth needs of the seedlings. After the seedlings have successfully adapted to the new environment and survived, the irrigation frequency is adjusted to once every 10 days to help the seedlings gradually adapt to drier environmental conditions. The amount of water used each time is controlled to 30%-50% of the soil volume in the planting hole, ensuring that the soil around the roots is moist but not excessively waterlogged, thereby preventing the roots from lacking oxygen due to overwatering.

[0063] This irrigation method helps seedlings enhance their drought resistance after the adaptation period by gradually reducing water dependence, while avoiding the adverse effects of soil waterlogging, ultimately promoting the robust growth of white thorn plants in arid environments.

[0064] Example 1:

[0065] This invention is used for ecological restoration in the Karamay region of Xinjiang, with the implementation site located in the desert area on the outskirts of Karamay City. Karamay is situated on the edge of the Junggar Basin in northwestern Xinjiang, characterized by a typical temperate continental climate—dry, with scarce rainfall, high evaporation, and a harsh natural environment. The average annual temperature is 8.3℃, with an extreme maximum temperature reaching 39.1℃. Annual precipitation is only 95.8 mm, while annual evaporation reaches a staggering 1595.1 mm. The region experiences hot and dry summers, making plant survival a key challenge in ecological restoration. To improve the survival rate of *Nitraria tangutorum* in the desert area, this invention was implemented on June 29th, employing an improved summer planting method based on specific technical solutions. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0066] Spring Seedling Cultivation: In early spring, construct a square seedling plot on a flat surface using wooden planks 1 meter long, 10 centimeters wide, and 1 centimeter thick. Mix sand, loam, and farmyard manure in a 3:6:1 ratio to create a seedling substrate, which is then placed in non-woven fabric bags. These bags should be 12 centimeters high and 6 centimeters in diameter, breathable, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly, allowing the roots of the white thorn to penetrate the bag walls and reach deeper into the soil during later growth stages. Arrange the bags neatly in the seedling plot, sowing white thorn seeds 2 centimeters deep in each bag. Before sowing, soak the seeds in warm water for 15-30 minutes and remove the seed coat to break dormancy and promote germination. After sowing, water thoroughly to saturate the substrate and ensure the seeds absorb sufficient water. Before emergence, spray the surface with water daily to keep it moist; once the seedlings have emerged uniformly, adjust the watering frequency to once every 5 days to help the seedlings adapt to a drier environment.

[0067] Seedlings should be dug up in the summer of the following year: When the seedlings reach 10-20 cm in height, digging should begin. To minimize root disturbance during digging, the substrate should be thoroughly watered the day before digging to increase humidity and soften the substrate. The next day, the seedlings should be gently removed along with their non-woven bags. If any seedling roots have penetrated the non-woven bag and extended into the substrate of the nursery plot, they should be carefully dug around the outside of the non-woven bag to ensure the roots remain intact. This method preserves the integrity of the root system and reduces the risk of decreased survival rate due to mechanical damage.

[0068] Seedling Transportation: The dug-up seedlings are neatly packed into 30cm-high plastic transport crates to ensure stability and tight packing during transport, minimizing damage from bumps. Before packing, a layer of soft material (such as straw, sponge, or foam padding) is placed at the bottom of the crate to further cushion any vibrations during transport. If the seedlings exceed the height of the transport crate, the top stems are trimmed appropriately to ensure tight packing. Trimming does not affect the seedlings' normal growth after transplanting. Once the transport crates are full, the seedlings are loaded into a transport vehicle and transported to the planting site.

[0069] Transplanting: Transplanting should be done on cloudy or rainy days or in the afternoon when the high temperature has subsided to reduce the impact of direct sunlight on the seedlings. Dig planting holes at the planting site according to the root growth needs of the seedlings, using dimensions of 30cm x 30cm x 30cm. Place the non-woven bag along with the seedling into the hole; there is no need to remove the bag. The non-woven bag will decompose naturally, facilitating root expansion and avoiding root damage that may occur when removing the bag. Backfill the planting hole with the excavated soil and gently tamp it down to ensure close contact between the roots and the soil, increasing soil stability.

[0070] Summer planting: A planting density of 3 meters between rows and 1 meter between plants is adopted, which provides ample growing space for the white thorn seedlings and facilitates subsequent management. Immediately after planting, water each seedling thoroughly to ensure the soil is moist and help the seedlings take root in their new environment. Water every 3 days for 1-2 weeks after planting, keeping the soil in the planting hole moist but avoiding waterlogging; subsequently, supplement watering as needed based on the actual ambient temperature and rainfall, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged to prevent root suffocation.

[0071] Erecting shade nets: To prevent direct sunlight from affecting the seedlings, after transplanting, erect shade nets above each seedling to reduce the intensity of sunlight, lower the temperature around the seedlings, and reduce water evaporation. The shade nets are typically used for 5 days, and then removed after the seedlings have gradually adapted to the outside temperature, helping them to gradually adapt to natural light.

[0072] Irrigation Management: For the first 10 days after planting, water every 3 days to ensure moderate soil moisture around the seedlings and help them successfully adapt. After 10 days, gradually adjust the irrigation frequency to once every 10 days to allow the seedlings to gradually adapt to drought conditions. Each watering should fill 30%-50% of the soil volume in the planting hole to avoid waterlogging and root suffocation, while encouraging roots to penetrate deeper into the soil to enhance drought resistance.

[0073] Results: The climate in the Karamay region is extremely dry, with annual precipitation far less than evaporation, making it difficult for plants to survive in the early stages of planting. Using the technical measures of this invention, the survival rate of *Nitraria tangutorum* seedlings reached 98%, significantly higher than the 80% survival rate of traditional bare-root seedling planting in spring.

[0074] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
