A dwarfing propagation technique for the saxaul includes the steps: using inoculation paper to perform transplanting and inoculation, applying farmyard manure or chemical fertilizer in small quantity, or planting Cistanche salsa in field planting of small saxaul seedlings, using a spade to dig a planting pit 40-50cm deep, placing seeds of Cistanche salsa into the pit, and planting the small saxaul seedlings on the pit; using a special drill to drill down a saxaul root system distribution to a certain depth; pulling up an inner tube and poking the inner tube for a few times before taking out; sequentially feeding handfuls of clay(capable of preserving water, optional and special fertilizer particles into an outer tube, separating the seeds and the fertilizer with sandy soil, using two seeds of Cistanche salsa (adhered to seed paper or each soil ball), and evenly distributing the seeds in the vertical direction in a sequential layer mode of sandy soil, fertilizer, sandy soil, seed and sandy soil; pouring half barrel of water or diluted drought-resistant water-retaining agent into the tube after ten seeds placed in; and taking out the drill, compacting a drilled hole, and making marks. By the method, taxis of the saxaul root systems to water and fertilizer is fully utilized, labor intensity and cost in planting Cistanche salsa are lowered, and surface vegetation destruction can also be reduced.
