When is the best time to transplant daylily seedlings? What should I pay attention to when transplanting day lily seedlings?
Principle of ramet breeding
The roots of day lily are particularly thick, and some day lilies have been planted for a long time, and dozens of thick fleshy roots have grown under them! And its ramet propagation principle is also based on this!
1) The root system is developed and easy to survive! The root system of day lily usually occurs at the stem node with short roots. There are many adventitious roots in the soil 30-60cm underground, which has a very strong ability to absorb nutrients, strong resistance and easy survival!
2) Strong rooting ability! Usually a few day lilies will be transplanted to a new environment, and it only takes one year to tiller more than ten strong roots!
3) Strong healing and recovery ability. The fleshy root cells of day lily have strong division ability. After transplanting, as long as the soil environment is suitable, some trimmed wounds can be restored and new roots and buds can grow in about half a month!
It is precisely because the root system of day lily has strong vitality that in agricultural production, day lily can be quickly propagated by transplanting into plants! Let's talk specifically about the breeding method of day lily plants!
When is the best time for ramet propagation?
In the first stage, after the day lily is picked in autumn, the leaves are transplanted before and after withering. I think it's best to choose before withering, because the leaves are still growing at this time. After transplanting, leaf photosynthesis can promote the accumulation of root nutrients and the recovery of wounds, and the survival rate is higher! But it should be noted that you can't leave too many leaves, otherwise it will affect the recovery of the root system!
In the second stage, plants are transplanted before germination in early spring. The advantage of transplanting in this period is that the dormant state of the root system has been broken, the cell division is vigorous, and the growth can be restored quickly after transplanting!
Preparation before transplantation
After the transplanting time is determined, it is necessary to start transplanting by plants. But there is still some work to be prepared before transplantation.
1) Transplanting is best carried out in sunny days, so as to ensure that there will be no extreme weather conditions such as continuous rain for a period of time after transplanting, which is beneficial to root growth.
2) Determine which plants are suitable for ramet transplantation. Not all day lily plants can be transplanted, but growers should choose some plants that grow for a long time, and it is recommended to choose plants that grow for more than two years for rameting. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that plants are disease-free and robust. In this work, markers can be screened during the growth period of day lily.
3) Fields to be migrated. 100-200 kg of decomposed dry chicken manure and 50-60 kg of high-nitrogen and high-potassium compound fertilizer can be applied per mu of land, and then deep ploughing can be carried out. The depth of cultivated land is more than 30 cm. Through this treatment, we can ensure that the day lily transplanted into the soil can adapt to the environment as soon as possible and resume growth!
The principle of dividing plants is to minimize the damage to plants, which is conducive to improving the survival rate. For autumn transplanted plants, if the leaves have not withered, the upper leaves should be subtracted, leaving 5- 10 cm stems and leaves. You can dig some tillers directly from the selected day lily plants for transplanting, and be careful not to exceed one third of the total tillers when digging, but this method is easy to cause wounds, so pay attention to protect the root system when digging; It is suggested that growers dig out the whole cluster of daylily and divide it into trees. Dig a complete cluster of day lily, select suitable tillers according to the growth of different tillers, and cut them from the short stems on the surface to complete the segmentation.
After the division, the planter should treat the obtained day lily ramets, cut off the old roots and diseased roots, and trim the long fleshy roots, keeping the length at about 10 cm! After pruning, it is suggested that some disinfection and nutrition treatment should be carried out on the roots where conditions permit, which is beneficial to the growth of roots in the soil. It is suggested that growers dip their roots with 25g/ L fludioxonil suspension 500 times solution and 0.0 1% brassinolide solution 0 1500 times solution, and plant immediately after drying!
Matters needing attention
1) It is suggested that the whole transplanting process should be carried out at the same time, and the digging, dividing and planting should be completed on the same day, because the fleshy roots have high water content and long storage time, which will lead to water loss and damage the roots!
2) Pay attention to the planting depth when transplanting. If the planting is too shallow, the later drought will obviously inhibit the root growth, and the new roots are easy to grow soil and scab at the rooting and tillering stage! When planting, it is suggested that the planter shorten the top of the stem and bury it in the soil for 2~3 cm. Too deep will affect the emergence and tillering!
Growers can quickly propagate daylily by transplanting different plants to meet the market demand. However, transplanting by dividing plants also has disadvantages, which may cause damage to the original mother plant. Therefore, after transplanting, the original field should be supplemented with nutrition in time to promote plant recovery. This is my opinion on the propagation of day lily by ramets.
