Description

Application of cold plasma treatment in promoting survival and growth of grafted tomatoes

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of tomato planting, and particularly relates to application of cold plasma treatment to promotion of survival and growth of grafted tomatoes.

Background

Tomatoes are important facility vegetable crops in China and play a significant role in the industrial seedling raising industry. In recent years, due to the fact that facility environment is closed, continuous cropping years are increased, diseases and insect pests are frequent, and the demand of tomato producers for grafted tomato seedlings is increased day by day. At present, grafting methods commonly used in the industrial seedling raising process of tomatoes comprise a grafting method, a cleft grafting method and a inarching method. However, any grafting method can result in a certain grafting death rate, prolong the seedling raising time and influence the economic benefit. Therefore, the grafted seedling producers often adopt some grafting healing agents mainly comprising chemical components such as 2,4-D, naphthylacetic acid and the like to improve the survival rate of the grafted seedlings, but the drugs all belong to hormone drugs and do not meet the requirements of green production and development. Therefore, the development and utilization of the low-investment pollution-free green grafting quality-improving and efficiency-increasing technology becomes an urgent problem to be solved in the factory production of the grafted seedlings.

The cold plasma is a substance in which a solid state, a liquid state, and a gas state coexist, and is in a substance form in which a large amount of free electrons and charged ions are main components. It has been shown that the active particles present in large amounts in cold plasma are capable of acting on plants, causing alterations in various growth and metabolic processes. However, no report is found about whether the cold plasma treatment of tomato and other plant seeds can promote the survival of grafted seedlings and the healthy growth of the grafted seedlings.

Detailed Description

It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further explanation of the disclosure. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs.

As mentioned in the background, cold plasma is an approximate model of plasma, meaning that it assumes that the temperature of the plasma is zero. The cold plasma seed treatment technology refers to the physical principle that cosmos plasma rays influence seeds in space breeding, so that the seeds are subjected to plasma irradiation and alternating inductance in a machine, the potential energy of the seeds is excited, the vitality of the seeds is improved, and the robustness of the seeds is enhanced. At present, cold plasma treatment of plant seeds to improve yield, product quality and breeding level has been reported. But the treatment to the seeds is not that the larger the dosage is, the better the treatment is, and the influence and the obtained effect of different dosages on the seeds are different; and the cold plasma treatment has different crop parts and different effects. When crops are grafted, the selection of the rootstocks is the basic work of grafting, and determines whether the grafting can be successful or not. Grafting generally aims at improving the stress resistance and disease resistance of cultivation, and the resistance of the rootstock plays an important role in grafting seedlings. Therefore, the screening of high-yield and high-resistance stocks is the key for improving the grafting cultivation quality and effect. However, the parental stock selection also needs to be considered for its affinity and operability with the scion. And the traditional grafting method has the problems of low survival rate, time-consuming grafting operation and the like. Based on the method, the inventor uses the cold plasmas with different doses to treat the tomato seeds from the angle of improving the survival rate of grafted tomato and promoting the growth of grafted seedlings, then normal seedling culture and grafting are carried out, and finally the optimal treatment dose of grafted seedling production is obtained, so that the industrial seedling culture is facilitated, and the economic benefit of industrial operation is improved. The invention firstly discovers that the tomato scion and stock seed are treated by adopting the treatment dosage and treatment time of the invention, the tomato grafting survival rate can be improved, the grafting time can be shortened, and the invention has wide application prospect for industrial seedling culture.
