Breeding method

The main breeding method of Lycium barbarum is seed breeding, which can also be propagated by cutting

Seedling breeding

When raising seedlings of Lycium barbarum seeds, the seeds should be selected first. When selecting seeds, the ones with large fruit and ruddy color should be selected. The fruit itself is healthy and disease-free. After the selection, soak it. Ask who to soak it at about 34 degrees for 24 hours. After soaking, remove it, wash it with clean water, remove the pulp and peel, take out the seeds and dry them, and then sow

Secondly, sowing, except in winter, can be planted in a ditch with a depth of about 3cm. After sowing, it is necessary to turn the soil, moisturize and keep warm

Finally, the management of seedling stage should be watered frequently to ensure the moisture of soil and facilitate the growth of seedlings. During the growth period, we should weed and fertilize, and pay attention to eliminate unhealthy weak seedlings, leaving only strong seedlings. When the seedling grows to 30 cm, the side buds at the bottom of the seedling shall be removed, and the top shall be kicked when it is about 60 cm to accelerate the growth of the trunk

Cutting propagation

The most suitable time for cutting propagation of Lycium barbarum is before the plants germinate in spring. First, select the plants with large and full fruits

Secondly, cut the branches that have grown for one year, with a diameter of 0.5cm and a length of about 20cm, soak and dry them. Then cutting

Finally, when cutting, it should be inserted in a ditch 20 cm deep, and the cuttings can be exposed to the soil surface by 1 cm. We should pay attention to weeding, moisturizing, regular fertilization and topdressing. When it is 80 cm, it can be planted out of the nursery
