The Root Control Rapid Seedling Technology is a novel seedling method centered around regulating the growth of plant roots. It consists of the unique design principles of the root control seedling containers, the scientific formula of the seedling substrate, and the auxiliary root control cultivation management techniques. The seedling cycle is shortened by approximately 50%, with the post-management workload reduced by 50%-70%. The total number of lateral roots in plants is increased by 20-30 times compared to conventional seedling methods, and it completely solves the difficulty of transplanting large plants throughout the year, earning it the praise as the "Portable Forest."
Since the 1980s, this technology has been widely used in countries and regions such as Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the United States, and Japan. In the 1990s, scientists and technicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the forestry system made improvements to the product for seedling cultivation technology.
1. The Technical Challenge of Large Seedling Full-Crown Transplanting in Forestry
Routine large seedling transplanting requires pruning and crown removal to ensure survival. The rapid root control seedling technology uses specially designed seedling containers to control the growth of the primary root system, promoting rapid growth of fine roots, forming robust and short taproots with a large number. The root system is well-nourished, leading to vigorous tree growth. Transplanting involves no uprooting, root wrapping, head cutting, pruning, or leaf removal, allowing for full-crown transplanting of large seedlings. It is hailed as a portable forest.
2. Technical Challenge of Survival Rate
Our uniquely designed root control containers offer excellent breathability and unique benefits of preventing root rot and main root entanglement. With the dual action of the root control substrate, the water and nutrient requirements of the seedlings are well-controlled. The containers are easy to disassemble, and the transplants do not harm the roots, thus ensuring a high survival rate. Moreover, the post-management costs can be reduced by 50-70%.
3. The technical challenge of transplanting throughout the year
The seedlings cultivated with this technology can be transplanted without uprooting, without root damage, and without water loss. They come with detachable root control containers, which are easy to transport and carry over long distances, saving both time and effort. This innovative method enables year-round transplanting with high survival rates.
4. Solved the technical challenges of rapid orchard updates
The orchard's renovation requires a minimum of 5 years. By using root control seedling technology, seedlings can be cultivated on unused land, with the diameter of seedlings reaching about 4 cm and the canopy diameter exceeding 1 meter within 2-3 years. They are already blooming and starting to bear fruit in small quantities. Transplanting them causes no root damage or seedling replacement, resulting in a substantial yield the following year. This ensures that during the orchard renovation, the fruit farmers' income remains stable, while also guaranteeing the purity of the seedling varieties.
