Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of Sapindus mukorossi grafting technology, specifically to a method for promoting the survival rate of grafted Sapindus mukorossi. Background Technology
[0002] Sapindus mukorossi, a deciduous tree belonging to the Sapindaceae family and the Sapindus genus, has multiple uses including washing, medicinal purposes, soil and water conservation, and environmental protection. It can be used as a garden tree or economic forest species, and its artificial cultivation and development prospects are very broad. In recent years, with the diversified demands of society for the Sapindus mukorossi industry, the rapid propagation of superior varieties has become one of the major bottlenecks restricting its development. Currently, Sapindus mukorossi seedlings are mainly propagated by seed sowing, which has a long seedling cycle and significant seedling differentiation and intraspecific variation. Grafting propagation, on the other hand, can achieve early high yields while maintaining the original superior traits of the parent plant. Therefore, by establishing a scion orchard for superior Sapindus mukorossi clones, improving the grafting propagation technology system, and promoting the shift from seed sowing to grafting seedling cultivation, a guarantee of superior seedlings can be provided for the construction of Sapindus mukorossi raw material forest bases.
[0003] According to the research article "Research on Grafting Propagation Technology of Sapindus mukorossi" in the existing literature "Molecular Plant Breeding", "the survival rate of Sapindus mukorossi seedlings was statistically analyzed two months after grafting. The results showed that the average survival rate of grafting immediately after harvesting (62.00%) was higher than that of grafting after sand storage treatment (53.33%). Cleft grafting and bark grafting immediately after harvesting were significantly higher than those after sand storage treatment. Among them, the survival rate of grafting immediately after harvesting was the highest for cleft grafting (84.67%) and the lowest for side grafting (38.00%). After sand storage treatment, the survival rate of grafting was the highest for bud grafting (64.44%) and the lowest for side grafting (41.11%)." That is, under the current optimal conditions, the grafting survival rate of Sapindus mukorossi is about 85%, which is still relatively low for large-scale field planting. Therefore, how to improve the grafting survival rate of Sapindus mukorossi and further promote the growth of grafted seedlings is an important research direction at this stage. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for promoting the survival rate of grafted Sapindus mukorossi. By treating the grafted branches, the survival rate of grafted seedlings is effectively increased, and the growth efficiency of subsequent grafted seedlings is comprehensively improved.

[0011] S5. Grafting treatment: Graft the lower end of the pre-treated grafting branch onto the rootstock, and then tie the graft union to complete the grafting.

[0013] Preferably, the diameter of the grafted branch in step S2 is 0.5-0.7 cm.
[0014] Preferably, the superior Sapindus mukorossi plant in step S2 is a Sapindus mukorossi plant that is 8 years old or older.
[0015] Preferably, in step S5, the time from cutting the grafted branch to grafting is controlled to be within 12 hours, and grafting is carried out in the evening.
[0016] Preferably, the grafting method in step S5 is cleft grafting, which involves vertically splitting the cross-section of the rootstock into an interface, and cutting the lower end of the pre-treated grafting branch into a wedge shape during grafting.

[0060] Comparative Example 5:
[0061] The grafting methods described in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were used respectively. Grafting experiments were conducted on March 11, 2025, in a greenhouse at Southwest Forestry University, Panlong District, Kunming City. The temperature in the greenhouse was controlled between 17-22℃, and the entire greenhouse was equipped with shade netting, controlling the shading rate at 60%. Eight experimental groups were set up, with 100 grafted branches grafted into each group (after grafting, as shown...). Figure 1 (As shown), please refer to Table 1 below for details:
[0062] Table 1
[0063]
[0064] 1. The survival rate of grafted seedlings in each group was tested at 15 days, 30 days, and 60 days after grafting. The specific results are shown in Table 2 below:
[0065] Table 2
[0066]
[0067] As shown in the table above, early pre-cooling combined with subsequent fumigation with citronellol and 1,8-eucalyptol can effectively improve the subsequent grafting survival rate. In addition, the experimental group of 8 pairs of grafting branches were cut into wedge shapes before pre-cooling and fumigation treatment, which was more likely to cause early grafting seedling death compared with conventional operation.
[0068] 2. The height of the grafted seedlings in each group was counted at 15 days, 45 days, and 75 days after grafting (5 surviving grafted seedlings were randomly selected from each group, and the height was measured from above the rootstock, and the average value was calculated). The specific results are shown in Table 3 below:
[0069] Table 3
[0070]
[0071] The specific growth conditions of the grafted seedlings in experimental group 1 at 15 days, 45 days, and 75 days are as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the table above, early pre-cooling combined with subsequent fumigation with citronellol and 1,8-eucalyptol can effectively promote the growth of grafted seedlings.
