Water coconut seed collecting and seedling raising method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of crop seedling culture, in particular to a method for collecting and culturing water coconut seeds.
Background
The water coconut is a tropical coast plant with 'immature' and gradually endangered species. Evergreen shrubs are bushy and are 3 to 7 meters high. The water coconuts are distributed in local areas of Hainan, are typical tropical coastal plants and wiggery plants, and are valuable for researching phylogeny and origin of Palmae, tropical plant districts, ancient biology, ancient geography and the like. In recent years, the growth and natural distribution of the hydrococo forest has been greatly affected by excessive felling and picking of the fruit. If the protection is not enhanced, the product will fall into an endangered state. Therefore, the development of an efficient method for breeding the water coconuts is urgently needed to relieve the endangered state of the water coconuts.
The existing seedling culture method of the water coconuts lacks an effective seed collection method, and the germination rate of mature fruits collected from plants is not high. Since the water coconuts grow in the tidal submerging environment and naturally mature and fallen seeds are difficult to collect, the existing method cannot obtain enough seeds and cannot breed in a large scale. Although there are reports of techniques for breeding seedlings of coconut (coconut nucifera L.) belonging to the same family, the habitat of the coconut is greatly different from that of the water coconut, and the techniques for breeding coconut cannot be applied to breeding of water coconut.
Disclosure of Invention
Based on the above situation, the invention provides a method for collecting and raising seedlings of water coconut seeds.
The technical scheme of the invention is realized by the following measures:
a method for collecting and raising seedlings of water coconut seeds comprises the following steps:
(1) seed collection: in 3-5 months, sleeving a net bag on the fruit to be ripe and fixing;
a: since the coconut grows in the area which is periodically submerged by the tide, the mature seeds can be brought to the environment which is not suitable for the growth of the coconut by the seawater tide after falling, so that the coconut seeds can not germinate for a long time and die. The germination rate of the mature seeds directly collected from the water coconut plants is far lower than that of the naturally-fallen seeds, so that the mature seeds are collected by using the net bag, the mature seeds can be effectively prevented from being washed away by seawater tides, and the seeds with higher germination rate can be obtained.
B: the coconut fruit is mainly matured in 3-5 months. A large number of seeds (more than 200 seeds per plant of the water coconut) are easily obtained by collecting in 3-5 months, so that the offspring of the water coconut can be obtained in a large amount. The number of seeds collected in the other months is smaller. On the other hand, seedlings with germinated seeds have stronger resistance before winter comes, and the probability of death of the seedlings in winter can be greatly reduced.
(2) Seed treatment: soaking the collected seeds in an indoleacetic acid aqueous solution with the concentration of 100-200 mg/L for 45-60 minutes, wherein the temperature of the indoleacetic acid aqueous solution is 25-35 ℃;
the indoleacetic acid water solution has the function of promoting the germination rate of the seeds, the concentration is lower than 100mg/L, the promotion of rooting is not obvious, and is higher than 200mg/L, and the rooting is inhibited. The soaking time is less than 45 minutes, the promotion effect is not obvious, and the soaking time exceeds 60 minutes, so that the rooting is promoted to be inhibited. The germination effect is better when 200mg/L indoleacetic acid aqueous solution is adopted for treating for 60 minutes. Gibberellin is reported to improve the germination rate of prunus persica seeds, but the accelerating effect of gibberellin on the copra seeds is not obvious.
(3) Germinating seeds: taking the seeds treated in the step (2), placing the seeds into a seedling growing bag containing nutrient soil with the roots facing downwards for germination, and irrigating 400-500 ml of diluted seawater every day; the nutrient soil is prepared from sphagnum, sea mud and sea sand according to the volume ratio of 1 (1-2) to 1-2; the diluted sea salt water is prepared from sun-dried sea salt and water, and the mass concentration of the diluted sea salt water is 1.0-2.0%.
The nutrient soil provides nutrition and a favorable growing environment for the growth of the young coconuts. Diluted seawater is used to maintain the growth environment of the young coconut seedlings in favor of the growth environment.
(4) After the young buds of the water coconuts grow out, fertilizer is applied regularly, and insecticide and bactericide are sprayed;
(5) after 5 cotyledons grow out of the young water coconuts and the height of the young water coconuts exceeds 50cm, the young water coconuts are cultured; tearing the seedling raising bag, and transplanting the seedling raising bag and the nutrient soil in the seedling raising bag into the habitat of the water coconut.
A: after the seedlings grow to be more than 50cm, the seedlings can resist a severe environment, and after the seedlings grow to be 50cm, the seedlings are transplanted into the living environment of the water coconuts, so that the survival rate of the water coconuts can be improved.
B: together with the transplantation of the nutrient soil in the seedling raising bag, on one hand, the nutrient soil can continuously provide nutrition for the transplanted water coconuts, and on the other hand, the damage to roots can be reduced. The capability of resisting external adverse conditions of the transplanted seedlings can be improved, and the survival rate of the seedlings is improved.
Preferably, the mesh size of the net bag is 0.5-2 cm. Invalid seeds are effectively screened out by adopting the size of the net bag.
Based on the purposes of reducing the concentration of the indoleacetic acid aqueous solution, reducing the dosage, reducing the cost and further improving the germination rate, the seed soaking method can adopt the following operations: adjusting the temperature of the indoleacetic acid aqueous solution to 25-28 ℃, adding the seeds, soaking for 30 minutes, then heating the indoleacetic acid aqueous solution to 30-33 ℃ within 5 minutes, and continuing to soak for 60 minutes.
Preferably, the nutrient soil is prepared from sphagnum, sea mud and sea sand which are equal in volume. The seedling raising bag is made of PVC materials, the diameter of the seedling raising bag is 18cm, and 3 holes with the diameter of 1cm are formed in the bottom of the seedling raising bag. By adopting the nutrient soil proportion and the nutrient bag, the full nutrition of the sonneratia paracasei can be ensured, and the root can be ensured to breathe.
Preferably, the fungicide: spinetoram is used as a solute, and diluted sea salt water is used as a solvent to prepare a solution with the concentration of 1 g/L. The bactericide has obvious effect, reduces mould pollution and avoids the bad growth of the young coconuts caused by mould infection.
The invention has the following advantages:
(1) the invention provides a simple and effective water coconut seed collection scheme, the germination rate of the collected naturally-fallen seeds is higher than that of the seeds collected from plants;
(2) the invention provides a set of simple and feasible scheme, the insecticide and the bactericide used in the tending process are common in the market, and the seedling raising cost is low;
(3) the nutrient soil prepared from the sphagnum, the sea mud and the sea sand can provide sufficient nutrition and has strong air permeability, thereby providing a good environment for the growth of the hydrococonut and promoting the healthy and strong growth of the seedling of the hydrococonut;
(4) the communicated nutrient soil is transplanted together in the transplanting process, on one hand, nutrition can be continuously provided for the transplanted water coconuts, and on the other hand, damage to roots can be reduced. The capability of resisting external adverse conditions of the transplanted seedlings can be improved, and the survival rate of the seedlings is improved.
(5) The method adopts 100-200 mg/L indoleacetic acid aqueous solution for treatment, so that the germination rate of the seeds is effectively improved.
(6) The following operations are adopted in the seed soaking stage: adjusting the temperature of the indoleacetic acid aqueous solution to 25-28 ℃, adding the seeds, soaking for 30 minutes, then heating the indoleacetic acid aqueous solution to 30-33 ℃ within 5 minutes, and continuing to soak for 60 minutes. Through the stage change of the water temperature of the indoleacetic acid aqueous solution, the germination rate and the survival rate of seedlings can be further improved at the lowest concentration of the indoleacetic acid aqueous solution.
