II. Seedling raising methods for Atriplex canescens seeds
1. Sowing and seedling raising
(1) Soil treatment. For field seedling raising, before deep plowing the soil, use carbendazim, nitrobenzene or ferrous sulfate to make toxic soil 3 and broadcast it or mix it in for sterilization, and use phoxim or phorate and other chemicals in toxic soil to kill insects.
(2) Sowing. Before sowing, soak the seeds in clean water for 12-48h, and sow when 20%-30% of the seeds have cracked and shown white; you can also soak the seeds in 10-50mg/kg ABT No. 6 rooting powder solution for 12-24h before sowing. The sowing depth is generally preferably 1-2cm; if too shallow, the seeds are prone to sprout drying due to surface crusting; if sown too deep, the sprouts have difficulty breaking through the soil, affecting emergence. Greenhouse seedling raising does not require shading or film covering, but for open-field seedling raising, shading or film covering must be used in the early sowing stage to help raise low temperatures, retain moisture, and prevent sunscald. However, note that after a large number of seeds emerge, the covering should be removed in time. In eastern Qinghai, greenhouse seedling raising can be sown in mid-to-late March, and open-field seedling raising can be sown in early-to-mid April. After sowing, emergence generally begins in about 8d and ends in about 20d.
2. Softwood cutting seedling raising
(1) Soil treatment. The soil treatment method during seedling management is the same as for sowing and seedling raising. Before cutting, water thoroughly to ensure adequate bottom water; about 10d after cutting, shade should be provided, water should be sprinkled 1-2 times daily, and the relative air humidity should be kept above 85%. If conditions permit, it is best to use full-light mist cutting seedling equipment.
(2) Collection, preparation, treatment and cutting of cuttings. From June to August, select robust, excellent-type individual plants and collect current-year softwood twigs from the middle and upper parts, cut 8-15cm, keep 3-6 leaves at the upper part, and trim off the remaining branches and leaves at the lower end as cuttings. After cutting, soak the cuttings in clean water for about 1h; or soak the lower part of the cuttings in 50-100mg/kg ABT No. 1 or No. 6 rooting powder solution for 2h and then cut in time. The choice of cutting substrate should follow the principle of "adapting to local conditions, using local materials, low cost, and good benefits", using cultivated soil, humus, and fine sand as the cutting substrate; if conditions permit, sawdust and cultivated soil, or river sand, vermiculite and cultivated soil, etc., can be used as the substrate.
3. Seedling nursery out-planting time
In our nursery, greenhouse container-sown seedlings can be out-planted 50-70d after emergence, and 2-3 rounds can be out-planted in 1 year. For softwood cutting container seedling raising, afforestation can be carried out once the root system grows to the bottom of the container.
