Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of breeding and planting of Herba Desmodii Styracifolii, and particularly relates to a high-efficiency breeding method of Herba Desmodii Styracifolii based on rhizome cutting. BACKGROUND

[0002] Currently, the seedling breeding of Herba Desmodii Styracifolii in field production mainly relies on seedling technology, and the sowing is usually arranged in November to December every year, and the transplanting is carried out in mid-to-late April of the next year. However, this breeding method has many challenges. First, the seedling period is relatively long, which takes 5 months, resulting in limited production efficiency and difficulty in meeting the market demand for rapid expansion.

[0003] The seeds of Herba Desmodii Styracifolii are tiny, only between 400-600 μm, and the seedlings grow slowly, which makes them extremely sensitive to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, soil conditions, etc., increasing the difficulty of management. In addition, the seed germination rate is restricted by many factors, and the seedling survival rate is low, further increasing the complexity and cost of the seedling process.

[0004] Through in-depth analysis of existing related patent technologies, the inventors found that although patents such as “A seedling cultivation method of Herba Desmodii Styracifolii” (CN202311598257.7), “A planting method of Herba Desmodii Styracifolii” (CN202110618758.1) and “A planting method of Herba Desmodii Styracifolii” (CN201710315027.3) have proposed methods to improve the success rate of seed propagation by optimizing seedling substrate, controlling environmental conditions or improving water and fertilizer management, there are still the following core problems:

[0005] 1. Long seedling period: seed breeding from sowing to transplanting stage at least needs 5 months, which seriously restricts the production efficiency and is difficult to meet the urgent demand for rapid expansion.

[0006] 2. Seed germination rate is easily affected by environment: Herba Desmodii Styracifolii seeds have high requirements for water, temperature, light and other environmental conditions due to their small size, and any slight environmental fluctuation may cause a significant decrease in seedling rate.

[0007] 3. Slow growth of seedlings and difficult management: seedlings grow weakly in the early stage and have low disease resistance, which requires fine water and fertilizer management, undoubtedly increasing the difficulty and cost of field management.

[0008] 4. Unstable quality of seedlings: due to the differences between individual seeds and the uncontrollability of environmental factors, the size of the seedlings bred varies, which affects the growth performance after field transplanting.

[0009] In addition, it is worth noting that the underground rhizome of the whole plant of Herba Desmodii Styracifolii is usually discarded in the traditional harvesting process, which is not fully utilized, resulting in waste of resources. The existing technology ignores the development and utilization of the potential resource of the underground rhizome in the planting and seedling process of Herba Desmodii Styracifolii, which is undoubtedly a regret.

[0010] In summary, the seedling breeding technology of Herba Desmodii Styracifolii needs to be innovated to solve the problems of long seedling period, large environmental influence on germination rate, slow growth of seedlings, difficult management, unstable quality of seedlings, and low utilization rate of underground rhizome resources. SUMMARY

[0011] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a high-efficiency breeding method of Herba Desmodii Styracifolii based on rhizome cutting.

[0012] The present application provides a high-efficiency breeding method of Herba Desmodii Styracifolii based on rhizome cutting, which comprises the following steps:

[0013] (1) selecting the underground rhizome of Herba Desmodii Styracifolii as breeding material and performing cutting preparation to obtain Herba Desmodii Styracifolii cuttings;

[0014] (2) performing cutting and environmental management on the Herba Desmodii Styracifolii cuttings to cultivate and obtain Herba Desmodii Styracifolii seedlings.

[0015] Further, the step of selecting the underground rhizome of Herba Desmodii Styracifolii as breeding material comprises the following process:

[0016] After harvesting Herba Desmodii Styracifolii, healthy underground rhizomes free of pests and diseases are selected for cutting preparation.

[0017] Further, the rhizome with buds and root system is selected, the cutting length is 4-6 cm, and the root length is 1.5-2 cm, which is used as cutting.

[0018] Further, the step of performing cutting and management on the Herba Desmodii Styracifolii cuttings to obtain Herba Desmodii Styracifolii seedlings comprises the following process:

[0019] (1) preparing a seedling substrate;

[0020] (2) placing the rhizome cuttings horizontally on the surface of the seedling substrate and covering them with 1-2 cm thick seedling substrate;

[0021] (3) after sufficient watering and rooting, placing the seedling container in a water tray, maintaining the water depth of the tray at 4 cm, and when the water evaporates to the bottom, replenishing the water to 4 cm again to form a dry-wet cycle;

[0022] (4) covering the seedling container with a transparent cover, leaving a ventilation gap between the cover and the container;

[0023] (5) The seedling raising system is placed in an environment with a temperature of 25 DEG C, 18 hours of light per day, 6 hours of darkness, and a light intensity of 8000 Lux for cultivation.

[0024] Further, sprouting of the cuttings can be observed within 5 days after cutting, and seedlings with a height of 5-10 cm and developed root systems can be obtained within 14 days.

[0025] Further, the seedling raising substrate is pure grass charcoal soil.

[0026] Further, the water depth fluctuation in the tray is controlled within a range of 4±0.5 cm.

[0027] Further, the survival rate of rhizome cutting is 100%.

[0028] The above technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application has at least the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0029] The embodiment of the present application provides a high-efficiency breeding method of Rhynchosia volubilis based on rhizome cutting, which innovatively uses the underground rhizome of Rhynchosia volubilis as the core material for seedling breeding, and realizes high survival rate, rapid growth and developed and robust root system of the seedlings through optimization of the rhizome cutting seedling raising mode. Compared with traditional seed breeding, the present patent technology has the following significant advantages:

[0030] 1. The seedling raising period is significantly shortened: the present application uses rhizome cutting for breeding, and seedlings can be obtained in only 5 days, and the length of the seedlings can reach 5-10 cm at 14 days. Compared with the 5-month time required for traditional seedling raising, the present application greatly shortens the seedling raising period and improves the production efficiency.

[0031] 2. The survival rate of the seedlings is extremely high: seed propagation is easily affected by environmental factors, and the germination rate is unstable. The present application uses rhizome for breeding, and the seedlings are robust and not limited by the seed germination rate, with a survival rate of 100%, which ensures the success rate of seedling raising.

[0032] 3. The underground rhizome resources are fully utilized: in the traditional harvesting method, the underground rhizome of Rhynchosia volubilis is usually discarded, causing resource waste. The present application successfully uses the underground rhizome as a seedling raising material, optimizes the rhizome treatment and cutting technology, effectively activates the regeneration ability, and makes it become a high-efficiency seedling source, thereby improving the resource utilization rate.

[0033] 4. Maintaining excellent traits and ensuring genetic stability: during seed propagation, the traits of the offspring may vary, affecting product quality. The present patent uses asexual propagation (rhizome cutting), which can directly maintain the excellent traits of the mother plant, avoid genetic variation problems, and ensure the genetic stability of the seedlings. This is particularly suitable for breeding specific excellent lines or high-efficacy varieties, and ensures the consistency and quality of Rhynchosia volubilis in large-scale planting.

[0034] 5. Suitable for large-scale production, improve the industrialization level: rhizome breeding does not require fine management of seed germination conditions, large-scale seedling raising can be carried out in artificial control environment, and the production efficiency is greatly improved. This technology is suitable for modern agriculture, facility agriculture and the like, and is helpful to improve the industrialization level of the rush grass.

[0035] 6. Developed root system, and enhanced transplant survival rate: compared with the problem of weak seedling period of seed breeding, the seedling bred by the method has more developed and robust root system, and has stronger adaptability after transplanting, and the success rate of field planting is significantly improved.

[0036] In summary, the current market patent technology for rush grass seedling raising still mainly relies on seed breeding, and has the problems of long seedling period, unstable seedling quality, high management cost and the like. Meanwhile, the traditional harvesting method only takes the aboveground part, and the utilization rate of underground rhizome is low, which causes resource waste. The method of the present application is based on rhizome cutting propagation, which not only shortens the seedling time and improves the survival rate, but also fully utilizes the underground rhizome resources of rush grass, and realizes a more efficient seedling raising method. More importantly, the specific variety is maintained by vegetative propagation, and the genetic variation problem is avoided, so that the rush grass has higher stability in terms of medicinal components, stress resistance and growth potential. Therefore, the present application has great application value and competitiveness in modern Chinese herbal medicine planting, large-scale seedling raising and industrialization promotion.
