The invention discloses a
trichosanthes tuber
seedling culturing technology. The
trichosanthes tuber
seedling culturing technology comprises the following steps: taking a new
trichosanthes tuber which grows for 2 or 3 years,
cutting into sections, disinfecting cuts, soaking the
cut tubers in a bucket with an aqueous
potassium permanganate solution, airing at an indoor ventilated place till the cuts are dry and starts to shrink, dipping the healed tubers into rooting
powder; fermenting and composting
cottonseed hulls, cleaning
river sand, spreading the
cottonseed hulls and the
river sand into a
seedbed according to a certain volume ratio, disinfecting by spraying the aqueous
potassium permanganate solution, and pouring enough
bottom water after half a day; in late March and early April of each year, covering with a film and arranging a shed for preserving heat to keep a certain temperature, mulching the ground, externally arranging a plastic
greenhouse with a shed film, horizontally putting the tubers in step 1 in parallel into matrix prepared in step 2, loosening the shed and uncovering the film after 10 days, keeping the soil matrix moist, removing the shed after another 10 days, and completing
seedling culture till buds and root systems are strong. The trichosanthes tuber seedling culturing technology has the benefits that trichosanthes seedling with strong buds and root systems and free of bacterial infection can be obtained within one month.
