Abstract:

In order to study on the effect of cutting characters to cultivate on cutting plant for low branches of ramie, to obtain the best cultivation pattern. With four ramie varieties of ‘Zhongzhu1’, ‘Xiangzhu3’, Tris-l and the new strain R057 as materials, effect of cutting characters (cutting diameter, cutting length, cutting leaf numbers, cutting depth and cutting density) to survival rate and qualities (root dry weight per plant, stem height increment, branch numbers per plant, minimum and maximum branch bit length and length of branch location) of cutting plant for low branches of ramie were studied. The results showed that the best cultivation method was 0.6 cm cutting diameter, 5-l0 cm cutting length, about 4 cutting leaf numbers, 1.5-3 cm cutting depth and 100 plant per square cutting density had higher seedling survival rate and better quality of ramie seedling. The different cutting characters have important effect to seedling survival rate and quality cutting plant for low branches of ramie.
