The invention relates to the technical field of
plant seed storage, and discloses a method for storing
Magnoliaceae seeds. The method comprises the following steps: selecting an open earthen
jar with the height of 50-80cm and without holes in the side wall; impurities in the new
river sand with the particle size of 0.5-1 mm are screened out, and the new
river sand is adjusted to be slightly wet and the surface of the new
river sand is white;
magnoliaceae seeds and sand are laid in a layered mode according to the volume ratio of 1: (5-10), 5-15
layers are formed, and the uppermost sand layer is 5-8 cm; the sand is placed in a shady, cool and ventilated indoor environment with the temperature of 0-28 DEG C, 5-10 mL / 100 cm of mist is sprayed to supplement water when the sand is dry, and the sand is kept in the state that the sand is slightly moist and the surface of the sand is white; low temperature, disinfection and any
chemical agent are not needed in the whole process. The
germination rate is stabilized at about 85% after 3-7 months. According to the method,
electric energy is not needed, labor is reduced by 50%, the cost is only 1 / 5-1 / 3 of that of traditional low-temperature wet sand storage, materials can be recycled,
ecological safety is achieved, operation is extremely easy, and the method is suitable for large-scale
safe storage of
Magnoliaceae seeds in south-north multi-climate areas.
