Key Points and Detailed Methods for Lily Storage and Fresh-Keeping Technology
Lilies originated in East Asia. In Europe and the United States, they are cultivated as ornamental flowers, while in China the bulbs are harvested and cultivated as a food crop. Lilies have few types of pests and diseases, but the damage is severe, with losses reaching 30%-60% in bad years. To improve pest and disease control in lilies, from 1993 to 1998 we studied the main pest and disease species in the Shaodong area...

Key points of boxwood cutting propagation technology, suitable for northern regions
Boxwood is an evergreen tree species from the south, belonging to the Buxaceae family, genus Buxus. For many years, because of its many advantages such as low, compact growth, dense leaves, beautiful shape and evergreen foliage, it has been deeply loved by people and widely used in hedges and topiary design in landscaping. It is one of the tree species with the largest usage and the widest application in northern landscaping, but due to the influence of climate and other factors, raising seedlings in the north has always been relatively difficult. Greening seedlings in the north can only be transported over long distances from the south, which not only increases costs but also results in a low seedling survival rate. In response, we carefully summarized the experience

Detailed Explanation of Shoot-Tip Tissue Culture Technology for Chinese Cymbidium
The new shoot growth period of Chinese cymbidium coincides with the hot, humid, rainy season in the south, when miscellaneous fungi proliferate rampantly, and the soil and media are especially severely contaminated with fungi. The potting medium used for inoculation sampling should carry as few miscellaneous fungi as possible, receive no organic fertilizer, and be placed in a light-transmitting, rain-sheltered location; when the new shoots first emerge, let the young shoots be exposed above the surface. Take new shoots 6-13 cm long, cut them high from the base of the plant, use a scraper to remove roots, debris and 2-3 outer sheath leaves; after thorough washing, cut the material again to 2-3 cm in length, and sterilize in a 10% hypochlorous acid solution for 10 minutes. If contamination

Detailed Explanation of Rapid Propagation Technology for Euonymus japonicus by Cuttage
Euonymus japonicus (evergreen euonymus) stays green all year round, has strong adaptability, and tolerates pruning extremely well. It is a good hedge material, easy to shape, and resistant to pollution, making it one of the indispensable evergreen tree species for urban greening in northern China. Its seedling rapid propagation technology is particularly important. Rapid propagation is mainly done by cuttage, using softwood cuttings, with a survival rate of over 96%. 1. Seedling facilities and cutting bed: Use bricks and cement to build a seedbed about 20 cm high and 1 m wide, fill it with 18 cm of substrate, with the lower layer of the substrate being 5-8 cm of coarse sand and the upper layer being fine sand. Install a water pipe at a height of 50 cm from the bed surface

Detailed Explanation of Efficient Production Technology for Phalaenopsis Test-Tube Plantlets
Phalaenopsis is an orchid with high ornamental value, known as the "Queen of Orchids." Its plant form is very peculiar, being a monopodial epiphytic orchid, with roots that prefer to be exposed above the potting medium or extend out of the bottom of the pot, absorbing water and nutrients from the air. The flower stalk emerges from the leaf axil, curving in an arc, possessing great curvilinear beauty. The stalk has nodes, and flowers bloom on the upper nodes, opening one after another in succession. Flower colors vary endlessly, including crimson, pure white, light purple, goose yellow, and azure blue, among others; some varieties have bicolor or tricolor flowers with stripes or variegation,

Detailed Explanation of Key Points of Korean Pine Seed Treatment Technology
Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et Zucc.), also known as fruit pine, belongs to the Pinaceae family, genus Pinus. It grows well in the Kuandian area of Liaoning, China. Its wood is soft and durable, the seeds are edible and can be pressed for oil, and it is a natural green food. In recent years, as the export volume of Korean pine kernel products has increased, the commercial value of Korean pine has become higher and higher, and the demand for Korean pine afforestation seedlings has also greatly increased, thereby mobilizing the enthusiasm of the vast number of seedling cultivation workers to grow Korean pine seedlings. In the process of Korean pine seedling cultivation, seed treatment is the key

Detailed Explanation of Rapid Propagation Technology for the Anti-Cancer Plant Hybrid Yew
Hybrid yew 8502 is one of more than ten cultivated lines of Taxus media (Taxus media), and its fast-growing nature and wide adaptability are superior to other lines, allowing it to be planted in most regions of China. Taxus media is one of the yews approved by the U.S. FDA for use in extracting the anti-cancer drug "paclitaxel." The paclitaxel content in the branches and leaves of 4- to 5-year-old Taxus media is higher than the "paclitaxel" content in the bark of natural yew trees grown for 70 to 80 years. Wild yews, including domestic varieties of yew,

Detailed Explanation of Key Points of Rhododendron Tissue Culture Technology
Rhododendron is an evergreen or deciduous small shrub of the genus Rhododendron in the family Ericaceae, characterized by many varieties, early flowering, rich flower colors, and a long flowering period. In recent years, due to the development of cutting propagation technology, China's rhododendron production has increased. However, precious varieties still cannot meet social demand due to few mother plants and a low propagation coefficient. Tissue culture is precisely an effective measure for achieving factory-scale seedling production of rhododendrons. A brief introduction is given below: 1. Basic technical steps of rhododendron tissue culture. In rhododendron tissue culture, the explants usually used are stem tips, stem

Detailed Guide to Lily Preservation Technology: Store Them This Way for Longer
After harvesting, lilies are prone to browning and rotting during storage and transport. At present, most post-harvest storage uses traditional methods, such as sand storage and cellar storage. Because traditional storage is hard to manage and temperature and humidity conditions are difficult to control, storage failures easily occur and cause relatively large losses. The following introduces the technology for preserving lilies using a "micro energy-saving cold storage + MA + preservative." (1) Process flow: harvest at the right time -> sort, remove stems and soil, trim off fibrous roots -> select bulbs -> preservative treatment -> air-dry -> put into boxes or baskets lined with preservative bags -> enter -2-0°C cold

Key Points and Detailed Operation Methods of Lily Whitening Processing Technology
Lily is one of the important health vegetables. The traditional processing method is to blanch the harvested lily and then dry it in the sun. Lily dried by this method still has a relatively high moisture content, is not resistant to storage, and is prone to discoloration. In the past, people used sulfur fumigation to maintain the whiteness of lily, but lily processed by this method is harmful to people's health. Now the dehydration method is used to dry lily, the moisture content is low, and after color protection, blanching and dehydration, discoloration is not likely to occur, which better solves the quality and safety problem of lily caused by sulfur fumigation.
