Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cut flower cultivation technology, and in particular to a method for promoting the growth of axillary buds in cut roses by applying appropriate concentrations of potassium and calcium ions. Background Technology
[0002] Rose ( Rosa hybrida Rose (Rosa chinensis) is a woody plant belonging to the genus Rosa in the family Rosaceae, and is the world's largest producer of cut flowers. Throughout different stages of the development of the rose cut flower industry, high-yield and high-quality cut flowers have always been the primary goals pursued by flower producers worldwide. Therefore, continuous innovation is needed to further overcome technological barriers and achieve low-consumption, high-efficiency production.
[0003] In Yunnan's cut flower market, pink roses, represented by Pink Snow Mountain, hold a significant position, contributing over 25% of the industry's total sales. It's worth noting that while this variety possesses a significant competitive advantage among pink roses due to its unique layered petals and gradient colors (holding over 60% market share in its color family), market research has revealed several issues, such as paler flower color and thin, weak branches.
[0004] Potassium and calcium fertilizers play a crucial role in the quality of cut rose branches (axillary bud sprouting and branch length). However, in production, the growth and development of axillary buds and lateral branches are greatly affected by the environment. Excessively low or high temperatures can lead to difficulty in axillary bud sprouting and short branches, resulting in poor yield and quality of cut rose branches. Therefore, this potassium and calcium fertilizer concentration can not only significantly promote axillary bud development but also increase branch length, which is of great significance for improving both yield and quality.
[0005] Potassium and calcium fertilizers have a dual regulatory effect on the vegetative and reproductive growth of cut roses. Currently, there is no standard potassium and calcium formula concentration for reference in cut rose production. Therefore, exploring the most suitable potassium and calcium fertilizers is of great significance for soilless cultivation of cut roses. It can not only determine the optimal potassium and calcium concentrations required to ensure high yield and quality, enabling precise supply of fertilizer and water, but also effectively reduce water and fertilizer waste, and ensure green and efficient production of cut roses.
[0006] Currently, all research on water and fertilizer is conducted under soil cultivation conditions. However, due to the complexity of elements in the soil and the inaccuracy of element quantification, it is impossible to accurately elucidate the effects of potassium, calcium, and their coupling on the axillary bud development and branch length of cut roses. Therefore, this invention aims to explore the effects of potassium and calcium on the growth of Pink Snow Mountain roses in soilless cultivation, and to improve the yield, quality, and other phenotypes of Pink Snow Mountain roses by focusing on fertilizer. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a method for promoting the growth of axillary buds in cut roses by applying appropriate concentrations of potassium and calcium ions.
[0008] A method to promote the growth of axillary buds in cut roses by applying appropriate concentrations of potassium and calcium ions involves applying fertilizer with a potassium ion concentration of 1.5-3.0 mmol / L and a calcium ion concentration of 3.0-4.5 mmol / L after pruning the cut roses.
[0009] Furthermore, when pruning cut roses, one bud should be retained at each rose bush cut to concentrate nutrients and ensure that the bud receives sufficient nutrition, thus promoting successful germination.
[0010] Furthermore, after pruning the rose, remove the leaves at the bud point to reduce the inhibition of the bud point by abscisic acid in the leaves, thereby promoting the rapid growth of the bud point.
[0011] Furthermore, when the first batch of cut flower mother branches reach the harvesting stage, select flower branches with a thickness greater than 0.8 cm, and harvest them by cutting the branches 1.0 cm above the first bud from bottom to top.
[0012] Furthermore, after the previous batch of roses is harvested, apply fertilizer with a potassium ion concentration of 1.5-3.0 mmol / L and a calcium ion concentration of 3.0-4.5 mmol / L.
[0013] This invention provides fertilizer with appropriate concentrations of potassium and calcium ions during the cultivation of cut roses. On one hand, this breaks the dormancy of axillary buds, causing them to grow rapidly and significantly advancing the harvest time of the next batch of flowers. On the other hand, it increases the plant height within the same growth period, thereby improving the quality of the cut roses. After harvesting the flower branches, applying fertilizer with appropriate concentrations of potassium and calcium ions encourages rapid growth of the axillary buds at the base.
[0014] This invention, in a soilless cultivation mode, can accurately determine the potassium and calcium requirements of cut roses at different growth and development stages by controlling potassium and calcium elements, providing an important reference for precise fertigation.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0018] In order to further improve the cultivation techniques of cut roses and achieve high yields, thereby increasing the benefits of the industry, the applicant conducted a systematic and in-depth study on the growth and development of cut roses in the early stage, and found that potassium ions promote the growth of rose branches and the bud sprouting.
[0019] Therefore, this invention provides a method for promoting the growth of axillary buds in cut roses by applying appropriate concentrations of potassium and calcium ions. Taking the cut rose 'Pink Snow Mountain' as a sample, potassium ions at a concentration of 1.5-3.0 mmol / L and calcium ions at a concentration of 3.0-4.5 mmol / L are applied during the cultivation of cut roses.
[0020] Specifically, after applying potassium ion fertilizer at a concentration of 2.5 mmol / L and calcium ion fertilizer at a concentration of 3.5 mmol / L, the dormancy of the basal axillary buds was broken, and they began to slowly sprout. About two days later, the buds began to sprout, and the length of the buds was significantly better than that of the control. This method can significantly increase the sprouting and growth rate of rose buds.

The method for promoting the growth of axillary buds in cut roses by applying appropriate concentrations of potassium and calcium ions according to claim 1, characterized in that, When pruning cut roses, leave one bud at each rose bush cut to concentrate nutrients and ensure that the bud receives sufficient nutrition, thus promoting successful sprouting.
3. The method for promoting the growth of axillary buds in cut roses by applying appropriate concentrations of potassium and calcium ions according to claim 2, characterized in that, After pruning roses, remove the leaves at the bud points to reduce the inhibition of bud points by abscisic acid in the leaves, thereby promoting the rapid growth of bud points.
4. The method for promoting the growth of axillary buds in cut roses by applying appropriate concentrations of potassium and calcium ions according to any one of claims 1-3, characterized in that, When the first batch of cut flower mother branches reach the harvesting stage, select flower branches with a thickness greater than 0.8 cm and cut them 1.0 cm above the first bud from bottom to top.
5. The method for promoting the growth of axillary buds in cut roses by applying appropriate concentrations of potassium and calcium ions according to claim 4, characterized in that, After the previous batch of roses is harvested, apply fertilizer with a potassium ion concentration of 1.5-3.0 mmol / L and a calcium ion concentration of 3.0-4.5 mmol / L.
