Gladiolus tissue culture matrix

Abstract

The invention discloses a gladiolus tissue culture matrix. The matrix comprises agar, and is characterized by also comprising mashed banana, corn starch, carbonized rice husk, and mud in the biogas generating pit. The provided gladiolus tissue culture matrix can improve the living rate of gladiolus to 88% or more, reduces the damage by diseases and insects, and is capable of shortening the seedling emergence time by 18% and reducing the rooting and exuberance time by 45%, compared with common tissue culture matrixes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of orchid seedling cultivation, and in particular relates to a gladiolus tissue culture substrate. Background technique [0002] Gladiolus, also known as: gladiolus, ten kinds of brocade, calamus, water chestnut lotus, Latin name: Vaniot Houtt, Iridaceae, gladiolus is a perennial herb. The bulb is oblate and spherical, and its original species comes from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. It is formed through multiple interspecific hybridizations, and the cultivated varieties are widely distributed all over the world. The flower stems are higher than the leaves, and the corolla tube is in the shape of an enlarged funnel. There are red, yellow, purple, white, blue and other single-color or double-color varieties. Commonly cultivated all over the world. The main producing countries are the United States, the Netherlands, Israel and Japan. It is known as "the world's four major cut flowers" together with cut flowe...
