The invention belongs to the technical field of
seedling breeding, and relates to a cuttage
seedling culture method of
liquidambar styraciflua. According to the method, parent semi-lignified current-year branches are selected to be sheared into cuttage branches with the length being 8 to 10cm, 2 to 3 buds and 2 to 4 leaves are reserved, the upper ends of the cuttage branches are flatly sheared, the shearing position is 1 to 1.5cm from the upper part buds, the lower part is sheared in the inclined direction, the shearing openings are flat and smooth, the cuttage branches are placed into a
nutrition solution to be soaked for 1 to 2 hours and are then inserted into a mixed substrate of
perlite and turfy soil subjected to sterilization treatment, and the bare-root
transplanting can be carried out after the culture for 40 to 45 days in the mixed substrate of the
perlite and the turfy soil. The cuttage substrate adopts the mixed substrate formed by the
perlite and the turfy soil according to the weight ratio being 5:1, the ventilation performance and the
moisture absorption performance are good, the cost is low, the conditions are favorable for
root system growth, and the rooting rate is high; a soaking process is adopted, and
cutting slips are soaked for 1 to 2 hours in the
nutrition solution, so that the roots of the
cutting slips have the
sufficient time to absorb nutrients in the
nutrition solution, then, the
cutting slips are subjected to cuttage into the prepared mixed substrate, root nodules are formed after 5 to 7 days, the rooting is realized after 13 to 15 days, the bare-root
transplanting can be carried out after 40 to 45 days, the
root system is developed, the
survival rate is high, and can reach more than 95 percent, and the
seedling forming period is short.
