Saffron crocus corm propagation method

Abstract

The invention relates to a saffron crocus corm propagation method. The method includes the steps that during the half month before or after entering winter, lateral buds are taken from corms, wounds of the lateral buds are soaked in a soak solution, the lateral buds are then inserted in wet soil with pest killed and with concomitant fertilizer and placed in a greenhouse to live and grow through winter for 4 to 5 months, and corms weighed 10 g to 15 g are selected and dug out to be stored in a shady, cool and dry place; during the half month before or after entering winter, the corms are placed in the greenhouse to live and grow through winter for 4 to 5 months, and corms weighed over 20 g are acquired. According to the saffron crocus lateral buds cultured through the method, leaves grow out of the lateral buds within less than a month, seed balls grow out after another month, saffron crocuses blossom after two-year cultivation, the saffron crocuses are not different from saffron crocuses propagated through the corms, waste use of the lateral buds is achieved, and planting cost is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for propagating saffron corms, in particular to a method for propagating saffron corms by utilizing lateral buds. Background technique [0002] Saffron, listed as a key development of Chinese medicinal materials by the state, is a perennial bulbous flower and herb of the family Iridaceae, with a plant height of 15-18cm. It has unique medicinal effects, and is especially famous for promoting blood circulation and nourishing blood. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", saffron can "promote blood circulation, control depression, and treat palpitations." Because saffron has multiple uses, it is in great demand at home and abroad, and its economic value ranks first in the world's medicinal plants. Since the successful introduction of saffron in 1965, it has been successfully introduced in 22 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions including Zhejiang, Henan, Beijing and Tibet. [0003] The propagation ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The propagation of saffron has always been based on bulb propagation, with a reproduction rate of about 1.5 times. However, after years of experiments on tissue culture saffron, it has not been successful. Therefore, to plant saffron, you must first buy a large number of bulbs. The market price is 35 yuan / catties (25- 35g), the grower has a large investment, and the corms cannot meet the large demand of the grower. Therefore, the promotion of planting saffron is very slow, and the country is probably less than 2000 mu, which is far from people's consumption demand.
