The invention discloses a planting method for guiding the growth of a main
root system of a forest tree and improving the
survival rate. The planting method comprises the steps of digging a planting pit, digging a guiding pit, applying a bag-controlled slow-release
fertilizer, placing a dry corn cob core, placing a hollow plastic
pipe, applying a root-promoting base
fertilizer, backfilling soil, planting the forest tree, arranging a water collecting ring and topdressing. According to the method, a water collecting ring, a main root guide pit and a hollow plastic
pipe are cooperatively arranged, a bag-controlled slow release
fertilizer and a dry corn cob core are placed in the guide pit, and then a root-promoting fertilizer is applied to promote
root system cell division. Water collected by the water collecting ring is drained to the guiding pit through the hollow plastic
pipe and is absorbed and stored by the dry corn cob core. The
root system is guided to grow downwards to absorb nutrients and
moisture at the bottom of the guiding pit by utilizing the water and fertilizer tendency of the root
system, so that the growth of the main root
system is promoted, the stability and
stress resistance of the forest are improved, the toppling is prevented, the planting
survival rate is finally improved, and additional fertilizer can be applied from a plastic pipe opening.
