Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of plant planting, and particularly relates to a high-temperature-resistant planting method of Anoectochilus roxburghii. BACKGROUND

[0002] Anoectochilus roxburghii is a terrestrial herb of Anoectochilus roxburghii of Orchidaceae. Anoectochilus roxburghii is rich in polysaccharides, steroidal compounds, organic acids, terpenoids, alkaloids, volatile oils, flavonoids and glycosides, and has biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, liver protection, antioxidant and anti-HBV. Anoectochilus roxburghii is mainly used for treating type II diabetes, senile hyperuricemia, acute and chronic hepatitis, suppurative osteomyelitis and aphthous diseases, and is safe in application and has a broad development and utilization prospect.

[0003] Anoectochilus roxburghii is a shade plant with a low light saturation point, and prefers cool, weak light or scattered light ecological environment, and the most suitable growth temperature is 18-25 DEG C. Anoectochilus roxburghii is easily limited by climate conditions during planting, especially in high-temperature and high-humidity environment, stem rot and other diseases are seriously harmful, and the industrial planting of Anoectochilus roxburghii is difficult to carry out, and through greenhouse cooling, the cost is also high and the problem of disease damage may occur.

[0004] Anoectochilus roxburghii is not resistant to high temperature and is easily stressed by high temperature. In Fujian, Anoectochilus roxburghii is generally planted around March, and by June, when the temperature reaches about 28 DEG C, the survival rate of Anoectochilus roxburghii gradually decreases. The cultivation substrate disclosed in patent publication CN110915610A has a survival rate of about 99% after two months of cultivation, and the survival rate decreases to 80% after four months of cultivation (in June, when the temperature reaches about 28 DEG C), the survival rate decreases to 70% after five months of cultivation, and the survival rate decreases to less than 50% after six months of cultivation. Therefore, how to make Anoectochilus roxburghii still grow healthily and maintain a high survival rate after the high-temperature season in June, so as to improve the fresh weight / dry weight of Anoectochilus roxburghii and increase the content of medicinal effective substances, is a technical problem to be solved.

[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to research and optimize the planting method so as to obtain a planting method of Anoectochilus roxburghii which can safely survive in summer high temperature during planting and grow well. SUMMARY

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a high-temperature-resistant planting method of Anoectochilus roxburghii, which is simple in operation and has a relatively ideal planting effect.

[0007] The technical scheme adopted by the present application to solve the technical problem is:

[0008] A kind of planting method of high temperature resistance of Chrysopidium aureus, the method is by constructing semi-closed microenvironment and combining specific cultivation management measures, so that Chrysopidium aureus can grow safely under the condition of outside monthly average high temperature 30-35 DEG C lasting 3-5 months in summer, and survival rate is not less than 95%; the method comprises the following steps in turn:

[0009] Step one: preparation and sterilization of planting device: provide a semi-closed planting device, which is composed of a breathable cover, a seedling tray with a water-permeable net at the bottom and a water storage tray supporting the seedling tray; the height of the breathable cover is 140-160 mm, the length is 530-570 mm, and the width is 290-310 mm, and at least two groups of breathable holes are provided on the breathable cover, each group containing 3-5 breathable holes with a diameter of 5-8 mm and being provided with a closable cover; the depth of the seedling tray is 55-65 mm; before use, the components of the planting device are cleaned and sterilized;

[0010] Step two: preparation of cultivation substrate: prepare the cultivation substrate by mixing and stirring the base cultivation medium peat soil and perlite with specific nutrient solution at a volume ratio of (5-7):(2-4):(0.8-1.2); the pH value of the peat soil is 5.0-7.0, and the particle size is 1-10 mm;

[0011] Step three: substrate sterilization and tray filling: fill the prepared cultivation substrate in step two into the seedling tray to a filling depth of 5.0-6.5 cm, and spray the surface of the substrate with a carbendazim solution with a concentration of 4.0-12.0 mg / L for sterilization;

[0012] Step four: pre-treatment of tissue culture seedlings and planting: select healthy Chrysopidium aureus tissue culture seedlings with a height of 4.5-7.0 cm, a root length of 1.5-5.0 cm and 2-4 roots, and after acclimatization, remove them from the culture container, wash off the culture medium attached to the roots and immerse them in a 50% carbendazim solution diluted by 400-600 times for 2-4 minutes, or in a 30% dimethachlon solution diluted by 800-1200 times for 1-2 minutes, and then dry and plant in the seedling tray filled with sterilized substrate in step three;

[0013] Step five: closing of planting device and water management: place the seedling tray planted with Chrysopidium aureus seedlings in the water storage tray, pour water into the water storage tray to a depth of 3-5 cm, add 2-4 g slow-release fertilizer with a validity period of 150-210 days, then cover the breathable cover and close the breathable holes on the cover to form an initial closed and moist environment;

[0014] Step Six: Greenhouse Facilities and Environmental Control: Place the semi-enclosed planters prepared in Step Five inside the greenhouse facilities, with a spacing of 8-12 cm between planters; the greenhouse is equipped with a shade net with a shading rate of 65% to 85%, and the light intensity is controlled at 2500-5500 Lux. An automatic sprinkler system is set up to spray for 8-12 minutes during the high-temperature period from 11:00 to 14:00 every day to cool down; throughout the high-temperature season, the growth of Anoectochilus roxburghii mainly relies on the semi-enclosed microenvironment and water storage tray for water and fertilizer supply, without the need for additional watering and soil fertilization.

[0015] Furthermore, the seedling tray mentioned in step one is a rectangular plug tray with a length of 530-550 mm and a width of 270-290 mm, and has 28-36 planting holes.

[0016] Furthermore, the water storage tray mentioned in step one has a height of 60-70 mm, a length of 530-550 mm, and a width of 280-290 mm.

[0017] Furthermore, in step one, there is a 1-3mm gap between the bottom of the closed cover and the upper surface of the ventilated cover for water and air permeability. Furthermore, the closed cover is not opened during the planting period.

[0018] Furthermore, the specific nutrient solution described in step two contains the following components per liter: 8-12 ml of amino oligosaccharide, 18-22 g of Flower Treasure No. 2, 8-12 g of Bacillus subtilis powder, and 4-10 g of trace element fertilizer. Furthermore, each liter of the nutrient solution also contains 0.045-0.065 g of arginine. Furthermore, in each liter of nutrient solution, the micronutrient fertilizer comprises 1.5-2.5 g of nitrogen (N), 0.8-1.2 g of phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5), 1.5-2.5 g of potassium oxide (K2O), 0.02-0.04 g of magnesium oxide (MgO), 0.015-0.025 g of boron (B), 0.002-0.004 g of zinc (Zn), 0.045-0.065 g of arginine, 0.005-0.030 g of molybdenum (Mo), 0.050-0.090 g of manganese (Mn), 0.3-0.5 g of iron (Fe), 0.8-1.2 g of sodium hydroxide (SO3), and 0.01-0.03 g of copper (Cu).

[0019] Furthermore, in step four, the hardening conditions are: ambient temperature 20-30℃, shading rate 65-85%, and light intensity controlled at 2500-5500 lux; the hardening process includes closed culture for 8-18 days, semi-open culture for 2-4 days, and fully open culture for 2-6 days.

[0020] Furthermore, the slow-release fertilizer brand mentioned in step five is the Canadian "Flower Color" slow-release fertilizer.

[0021] This invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned high-temperature resistant cultivation method of Anoectochilus roxburghii in the industrial cultivation of Anoectochilus roxburghii in low-altitude, high-temperature areas.

[0022] Furthermore, the cultivation equipment used for seedling transplanting is a seedling box with a breathable, sealed cover. The seedling box with a breathable, sealed cover includes: 1. A breathable, sealed cover: transparent plastic, 150mm high × 550mm long × 300mm wide, with two sets of ventilation holes, each set having 4 holes with a diameter of 6mm, and each set having a closable cover; 2. A rectangular plastic seedling tray with a mesh bottom: 60mm high × 540mm long × 280mm wide, with 32 holes per seedling tray, planting 32 seedlings; 3. A water storage tray: 65mm high × 540mm long × 285mm wide.

[0023] Furthermore, the cultivation substrate used for transplanting the seedlings is peat moss: perlite: nutrient solution = 6:3:1 (volume ratio), mixed thoroughly. The peat moss is from the Finnish brand Kejira, with particles of 2-8mm and a pH of 5.5-6.5.

[0024] Further, fill the mixed cultivation substrate into rectangular plastic seedling trays, cover them tightly, and spray with fungicide carbendazim at 5.0-10.0 mg / L.

[0025] Next, gently remove the acclimatized and hardened *Anoectochilus roxburghii* tissue culture seedlings from the bottle, and wash the culture medium off the roots, avoiding any damage or breakage. Soak the seedlings in a 500-fold diluted 50% carbendazim solution for 3 minutes for disinfection, then air dry them in a cool, shaded place before planting them into rectangular plastic seedling trays. Place a water-filled tray in the seedling tray, adding 3g of Canadian "Flower Color" slow-release fertilizer (effective for 180 days) to each tray. Cover with a breathable, sealed lid, then close the lid completely.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0027] The method of this invention allows *Anoectochilus roxburghii* to safely survive the summer for four consecutive months under extreme temperatures of 43°C in greenhouses and an average monthly temperature of 31°C outside, while maintaining vigorous growth. Furthermore, the cultivated *Anoectochilus roxburghii* is free from pests and diseases, and the cultivation process is simple to manage, offering advantages such as ease of operation, low management costs, and high survival rates. This solves the problem of ensuring the safe summer survival of this valuable medicinal plant in low-altitude, high-temperature areas, providing technical support for the industrialization of *Anoectochilus roxburghii* cultivation. In other words, the method of this invention overcomes the technical difficulties of existing technologies, such as the inability of *Anoectochilus roxburghii* to grow robustly and low survival rates during the high-temperature season after June, thereby increasing the fresh / dry weight and the content of medicinal active substances in *Anoectochilus roxburghii*.

[0028] The method of this invention can reduce labor and facility costs, and facilitate management and harvesting. Detailed Implementation

[0029] This invention discloses a method for cultivating Anoectochilus roxburghii (a type of orchid) to withstand high temperatures, which includes the following specific steps:

[0030] (1) Seedling selection: Seedlings should be selected from tissue culture seedlings that have been cultured in the culture room for 3-4 months, with a plant height of 5.0-6.0cm, and have well-developed and robust root systems. When tissue culture seedlings are transferred from the tissue culture room to a ventilated, covered seedling box, the large change in environment can easily cause death during transplanting. Therefore, before planting, the tissue culture seedlings of *Anoectochilus roxburghii* need to be moved to a greenhouse, where the temperature is controlled below 30℃ and the light intensity is about 4000-5000 lx, to harden them off. This will enhance their adaptability to the greenhouse environment after being removed from the culture bottle and improve the survival rate. The hardening-off period is generally about 25 days. After hardening-off, the seedlings are ready for transplanting when the leaves are fully expanded, the stems are light red in color and have a high degree of fibrosis.

[0031] (2) Planting equipment: The breathable seedling box includes: 1. Breathable seedling cover: transparent plastic, 150mm high × 550mm long × 300mm wide, with two sets of ventilation holes, located on the left and right halves respectively. Each group has four 6mm diameter holes, each located in one-quarter of a circular area (i.e., a 90-degree sector). Each group has a closed cover, meaning all four holes share a large circular closed cover. The cover can be closed or opened simultaneously. After closing, there is a ventilation gap (e.g., a 1-3mm gap, achieved by methods such as adding protrusions at intervals along the lower edge of the closed cover for support, or using a snap-on flip cover with the snap points protruding slightly from the surface) to allow for water and air permeability. 2. Seedling tray: A rectangular plastic seedling tray with a mesh bottom, 60mm high × 540mm long × 280mm wide, with 32 holes per tray, holding 32 seedlings. 3. Water storage tray: 65mm high × 540mm long × 285mm wide. In use, the bottom of the seedling tray is placed inside the water storage tray (because the holes in the seedling tray gradually decrease in size from top to bottom, it is easy to insert). Then, cover the top of the seedling tray with the ventilated, closed cover. During the planting process, the round, closed cover should not be opened. When spraying, water can flow into the tray through the gap between the closed cover and the tray surface to replenish a small amount of water. It also allows for slight ventilation, primarily to prevent bacterial or fungal contamination from outside the tray.

[0032] (3) Selection of cultivation substrate: The cultivation substrate is peat moss: perlite: nutrient solution = 6:3:1, mixed evenly; each 1L of nutrient solution contains Flower Treasure No. 2, amino oligosaccharide, Bacillus subtilis powder, and trace element fertilizer. The peat moss is from the Finnish brand Kejira, with particles of 2-8mm and a pH of 5.5-6.5.

[0033] (4) Planting method using a planter: Fill the seedling tray with the mixed substrate from step (3), with a substrate depth of 5.5–6 cm. Gently remove the *Anoectochilus roxburghii* tissue culture seedlings from step (1) from the bottle, and wash the culture medium from the roots, avoiding root damage or breakage during washing. Soak the tissue culture seedlings in a 500-fold diluted 50% carbendazim solution for 3 minutes for disinfection, then air dry them in a cool place. Plant them in rectangular plastic seedling trays and compact them slightly. Place a water storage tray filled with purified water into the seedling trays, adding 3 g of slow-release fertilizer (effective for 180 days) to each water storage tray. Cover with a breathable, sealed lid and close the closed lid.

[0034] (5) Planting and maintenance: Place the planter with the golden thread lotus seedlings planted in step (4) above the greenhouse seedbed, with a spacing of 10×10cm between planters. No additional watering or fertilization is required during the planting and maintenance process. Only a shading rate of 70-80% is needed (light intensity controlled at 3000-5000 lx), and automatic spraying for 10 minutes at noon.

[0035] The nutrient components added to the cultivation substrate are as follows: 8-12 ml of amino oligosaccharide, 18-22 g of Flower Treasure No. 2, 8-12 g of Bacillus subtilis powder, 1.5-2.5 g of nitrogen (N), 0.8-1.2 g of phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5), 1.5-2.5 g of potassium oxide (K2O), 0.02-0.04 g of magnesium oxide (MgO), 0.015-0.025 g of boron (B), 0.002-0.004 g of zinc (Zn), 0.045-0.065 g / L of arginine, 0.005-0.030 g / L of Mo, 0.050-0.090 g / L of Mn, 0.3-0.5 g / L of Fe, 0.8-1.2 g / L of SO3, and 0.01-0.03 g / L of Cu. g / L; the nutrients are distributed in groups, and the reagents are dissolved separately in sterile water, mixed evenly, and then mixed with the cultivation substrate.

[0036] In a specific embodiment of the invention, the tissue-cultured seedlings are complete plants with a height of 5.0-6.0 cm, a root length of 2.0-4.0 cm, and 2-3 roots. Acclimatization and hardening conditions are as follows: greenhouse temperature 22-28℃, shading rate 70-80% (light intensity controlled at 3000-5000 lx), and hardening is carried out by closing the seedlings for 10-15 days, partially opening them for 2-3 days, and fully opening them for 3-5 days. Each planting device contains 32 seedlings. The planting devices containing the *Anoectochilus roxburghii* seedlings are placed above the greenhouse seedbed, with a spacing of 10×10 cm between planting devices.

[0037] To further illustrate the method of the present invention, the applicant provides the following examples of several varieties of Anoectochilus roxburghii, and these examples are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0070] Table 10 Survival rate of different varieties of Anoectochilus roxburghii after summer in Example 2

[0071]

[0072] The results of Examples 1-2 show that: (1) the method of the present invention can safely survive the summer in low-altitude and high-temperature areas, and the survival rate of the plant after one year is over 95%; the height, number of leaves, and length of each node of Anoectochilus roxburghii are the same as those of other suitable temperature seasons; the average fresh weight, average dry weight, and dry weight of Anoectochilus roxburghii are the same as those of other suitable temperature seasons; the active ingredients of Anoectochilus roxburghii: total flavonoids, total alkaloids, and Anoectochilus roxburghii glycosides are slightly lower than those of other suitable temperature seasons; the total amino acids, total polysaccharides, and total phenols are slightly higher than those of other suitable temperature seasons.

[0073] This invention describes a high-temperature resistant cultivation method for *Anoectochilus roxburghii* (a type of orchid), enabling it to safely survive four months of high temperatures and maintain healthy growth. Through a comprehensive approach including a semi-enclosed planting device, sterilization, substrate preparation, nutrient solution addition, tissue culture seedling transplantation, and greenhouse facilities, the method achieves the goal of ensuring *Anoectochilus roxburghii* survives four months of continuous high temperatures and maintains healthy growth. Using a semi-enclosed planting device effectively controls diseases. Without it, stem rot typically develops after two months of sustained high temperatures, leading to the death of the *Anoectochilus roxburghii*. Once disease occurs, it cannot be controlled by medication. Cultivating the seedlings in a ventilated, enclosed seedling box with a closed lid effectively prevents disease invasion and provides the necessary light and CO2 conditions for *Anoectochilus roxburghii* growth. This invention also includes a 10-minute automatic spray system at midday daily, which cleans the ventilated, enclosed seedling box, effectively preventing disease invasion, provides cooling, and replenishes a small amount of moisture within the seedling box through the closed lid.

[0074] This invention utilizes greenhouse shading with a shading rate of 70-80% (light intensity controlled at 3000-5000 lx), ensuring relatively uniform light exposure, which is more conducive to the growth of *Anoectochilus roxburghii*. By adding a specific nutrient solution, *Anoectochilus roxburghii* can withstand high temperatures without additional fertilization, simplifying management and meeting its nutritional needs for a longer period.

[0075] This invention employs a "semi-enclosed planter" (a sealed cultivation cover with openable and closable ventilation holes, a seedling tray, and a water storage tray) to form a microenvironmental control system. The initial sealed state, combined with periodic ventilation, creates a stable space with high humidity, low light, and minimal temperature fluctuations. This perfectly simulates the cool and humid environment under the original forest cover of *Anoectochilus roxburghii*, fundamentally isolating the plants from direct invasion by hot, dry air, effectively preventing wilting due to excessive transpiration from high temperatures. Simultaneously, this physical isolation constitutes the first line of defense, greatly reducing the chances of invasion by external pathogens and pests. Brief spraying at midday cools the exterior of the sealed cultivation cover while replenishing internal humidity through the gaps in the closed cover, achieving a dynamic balance in the microenvironment.

[0076] This invention not only boasts a high survival rate but also significantly reduces management costs and operational complexity. Its "foolproof" management greatly saves labor costs: throughout the high-temperature season, the growth of *Anoectochilus roxburghii* relies primarily on a semi-enclosed microenvironment and water-storage trays for water and fertilizer supply, eliminating the need for additional watering and soil fertilization. This completely frees management personnel from tedious daily watering and fertilization work, requiring only shade net management and simple automatic sprinkler systems. This makes large-scale, industrialized cultivation possible in low-altitude, high-temperature areas, greatly lowering the technical threshold and labor costs. Compared to traditional greenhouse cultivation that relies on expensive cooling equipment such as air conditioners, fans, and wet curtains, this invention only requires standard greenhouses and shade nets, achieving physical cooling through a semi-enclosed system, avoiding high equipment purchase costs and electricity bills.

[0077] In summary, the high-temperature-resistant cultivation method for *Anoectochilus roxburghii* provided by this invention successfully overcomes the industry-level challenge of *Anoectochilus roxburghii*'s inability to safely survive the summer in low-altitude, high-temperature regions through a systematic solution integrating specific equipment, specialized substrates, refined processes, and environmental control.
