This invention provides a method for semi-restricted root cultivation of pears in southern China, belonging to the field of
fruit tree seedling technology. Addressing the problems of uncontrolled
root growth, susceptibility to
root rot, and prolonged
juvenile stage associated with traditional
seedling cultivation in the rainy spring and hot, humid summer conditions of southern China, this invention utilizes a multi-span
greenhouse, using non-
woven fabric seedling bags as root restrictors, filled with a cultivation substrate of
peat moss,
vermiculite, and
perlite. 40-50 day old *Pyrus pyrifolia* or *Pyrus pyrifolia* seedlings are transplanted. Water and
fertilizer are precisely controlled through a
drip irrigation system, maintaining substrate
humidity at 70%-80% after
transplanting. Summer
drip irrigation is used for supplemental watering, and the following spring, shoots are promoted. A suitable drought treatment is applied from mid-May to June to shorten the
juvenile stage. Combined with temperature and
humidity regulation and central leader shaping
pruning, the seedlings are "shapely from the nursery stage." The
pear seedlings cultivated using this invention for two years have an average height of 170cm, and the incidence of
root rot is only 2.20%, a reduction of 89.7% compared to traditional cultivation, achieving standardized and intensive seedling production.
