The invention relates to an apple
dwarfing self-rooted
rootstock SH38 or SH40 large-scale breeding method. The method is suitable for cultivating SH38 or SH40, and specifically comprises the steps oftaking an SH38 or SH40 grafted
seedling which is grafted close to the root part and taking
malus robusta as a
rootstock or a self-rooted
seedling as a
seed tree, carrying out
annual growth branch budnotching,
horizontal branch pressing, fixing and soil burying, performing twisting on the new
shoot base newly grown from the horizontally pressed
branch, carrying out
hormone treatment, matrix land-filling,
humidity and fertilization management,
seedling lifting, and seedling separation to obtain SH38 or SH40
dwarfing self-rooted
rootstock. According to the breeding method, the SH38 or SH40 current year-growth semi-lignified
shoot does not leave from the
parent body to root, and has the advantages that the propagation conditions are mild, the production process is simple, the technical
operability and achievability are high, the seedling rate is high, the seedling quality is good, and the like. By adoption of the method of the invention, the apple
dwarfing self-rooted rootstock SH38, SH40can realize large-scale and low-cost propagation, thereby obtaining the apple dwarfing self-rooted rootstock SH38 or SH40 with stable traits, neat and consistent tree growth, early flowering and early fruit,
fertilizer saving,
water saving, land saving and high uniformity of the fruit
shape index.
