Abstract:
Considering the slow grow th rate o f Cephalotaxus furtunei, field trials were conducted including seed lingfostering, plantation cultivat ion asw ell as harvestingmode to establish systematic technique including nursing o f superseedlings, cult ivation of short period, high y ield officinal plantat ion o f C. furtunei. Through time ly acce lerat inggerm ination, early sow ing, t imely shading a fter germ ination ( 10% intensity o f the sunlight), favorab lemanagementforw ater and fertility, as w ell as strict contro l for disease and pes,t the g row th rate of one year o ld seedlings w ereimproved, and the average height and d iameter ofC. furtunei seed lings reached 20 cm and 0. 45 cm respectively. Thee ff icient nursing cou ld be achieved by the utilizat ion of super provenances and varieties, as w ell as match ing forrelevant scient ific techn iques for nursing. For themountainous sites, land under the crow n o f broad leaf at grade?? o rstands, asw ell as eastward shady land w ou ld be preferentia,l and super seed lings of grade I or IIw ith 21- 25 cm forheight and 0. 40 cm for diameter should be selected for cultivat ion. The proper planting density shou ld be 1 m ×0. 3m and 0. 3 m × 0. 3m for land under broadleaf crow n and shady droughty land respect ively. If the havelock equipment in f ie ld w as used, seed lings w ith 15- 20 cm for he ight and 0. 30 cm for d iameter shou ld be selected forcu lt ivation, w ith the density and transm ittance be ing 0. 3 cm × 0. 3 cm and 50% respective ly. A fter plant ing,fostering for young seedlings and preventing for disease and pest shou ld be streng thened, at the same time the N, Pand K shou ld be properly applied. The harves,t including harvest of branches, leaves, cutt ing stem or thewho le p lantin short period and high y ield offic inal plantat ion o fC. fortunei shou ld be performed in autumn and w inter 3- 4 yearsor 4- 5 years after planting, o fwh ich the stem should be cut at height of 10 cm.
