Abstract: In order to explore a method of cutting seedling cultivation of Rucheng white tea with higher cost performance. The effect of different cutting time and cutting medium on the growth and survival of Rucheng white tea from May to June of the next year were studied.Under the current management level the results of orthogonal experiment showed that, the effect of cutting seedling growing in nutrient soil in mid-October was similar to local yellow red soil（The germination rates of cuttings on yellow soil and nutritive soil in mid-October were 60.33% and 59.00% respectively in mid-late June of the following year）.The screening experiment of cutting time in yellow red soil showed that cutting time had significant effects on the survival rate, germination rate and seedling diameter and had significant effects on the height of cutting seedling.Therefore, combined with the orthogonal experiment results. Therefore, combined with the orthogonal experiment results, it could be concluded that the use of semi-lignified full branches of the same year to cut seedlings in the local yellow red soil soil in mid-October could achieve a higher cost performance.
