Cutting off the part of the stock above 40cm by using a branch shear, and then splitting the top end of the stock by using a sharp edge, wherein the splitting opening length is about 1 cm. Inserting the scion into the split opening of the stock, binding the joint part with a binding belt for firmness, and binding the whole scion and the grafting part from bottom to top with the binding belt. After grafting for 15-20 days, unbinding binding bands on the scions, releasing the binding bands at the joint of the scions and the stocks when the scions sprout to 10-15 cm, and keeping 1 robust stock sprout while erasing the stocks to prepare for water and fertilizer management and pest control. In middle 5 th 2018, semi-lignified scions with the diameter of 0.5-0.6 cm are cut from the scion mother tree TAS-G11, scions are cut, the scions are grafted on reserved stock sprout strips by a top grafting method, buds are timely wiped after grafting survival, and field management is enhanced.
In 2019, 4 months, selecting land parcels with flat topography, leeward facing sun and good irrigation and drainage as plant basin-filling placement nursery lands; the width of the furrow is 1.5m, and the furrow length is used for ditching and draining according to the topography; building a shadow mask with the height of 2.0-2.5 m on the nursery, wherein the shadow is 40-50%. Filling 1/2 high humus, garden soil and decomposed cow dung nutritive soil with a mass ratio of 3:6:1 into a plastic basin, cutting the bottom of a seedling raising bag of a plant to be potted by a knife, putting the plant into the plastic basin with a height of 60cm and a caliber of 40cm, pulling out the seedling raising bag upwards, filling the plastic basin with nutritive soil, compacting the nutritive soil after planting, and neatly placing the nutritive soil on a prepared furrow surface and pouring root-fixing water. Covering coco coir after field planting for moisturizing, and spraying carbendazim with volume concentration of 0.2-0.5% and rooting powder with volume concentration of 0.1-0.2% for 1 time every 15-20 days within three months after field planting, so as to strengthen the work of water spraying for moisturizing and weeding; when the plant starts to draw new buds and spread leaves, fertilizer is irrigated once per month, 1.5g of water-soluble fertilizer containing 20-15-20 of N: P and K is added into each liter of fertilizer, and 0.35g of magnesium sulfate is added. After the plant is stable, 3-5 main branches are reserved on the scion, and the procedures of height control, bud picking, branch thinning, branch pulling and the like are combined to trim and shape the cocoa plant according to the ideal shape of the bonsai. 20 potted cocoa trees are investigated in 10 months in 2020, fruits are grown on 14 original stocks of the potted cocoa, the plant height can reach 1.2-1.5 m, the crown width can reach 1.2-1.5 m, and 6-10 fruits are grown.
The foregoing is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and it should be noted that modifications and adaptations to those skilled in the art may be made without departing from the principles of the present invention, which are intended to be comprehended within the scope of the present invention.
