[Abstract](1084) [PDF](153)
Abstract:
To counter the key techniques of cropping Toona sinensis buds in plastic green houses, the authors systimatically studied the effective accumulated temperature of Toona sinensis germination. Toona sinensis buds germinated at the minimum critical temperature of 6℃ . The effective accumulated temperature from dormancy to germination varied with the provenances, temperature and treatment methods of low temperature . There was no striking dif ference in the efective accumulated temperature of germination and in mean germination period between undormant shoots and dormant shoots, but germination ratio of undormant shoots was by far lower than that of dormant shoots. The function of combinating temporary planting and low temperature treatment could effectively promote earlier germination of undormant shoots and raise the germination ratio. The relavant cropping techniques inplastic green houses were put forward.

Abstract:
Based on statinary observations on cone set ting , clima te and soil co dition of five Chinese fir seed orchards in Zhejiang Province, there the influence factors of seeding could be divided into three parts; clone 's genetic train ( or clone 's biology ) , environment , and humans activity ( cultiva tion and management ) . The clone 's genetic train is the basic factor affecting seed production and quality of Chinese fir seed orchard. While the first important factor that makes year 's alteration in seed production is cone flowering in bad polleination, and the Second is the harm of insects and diseases, both could decrease the seed production about 65% . The fator of human 's cultivation and managment is different from else two factors relatedabove, for its initiative and important in improving seed quality and yield condition. The techniques of building the gard at primary period are chiefly as follows: sellecting high genetic gain and will bearing tree clones, and disposing them that are close in flowering within a plot , a nd choosing the sunny-or semi-sunny-slopes to build the Chineses fir seed orchard where ground is open, terrain slopes gently, and the soil moderate fertility or more. When trees begin to seeding , it is important to pollinate in man-made and to controlthe damage of insects anddiseases. Otherwise adequate fertiliaztion and plant thinning must be paid attention to the trees grown in full flourish. Through intensiv e cultivation and management , man could condition the influence of bad environment to the gard, and so ensure to that a high yield continually.

Abstract:
By application of 5 new green plant growth regulators ( ABT - 11 to ABT- 15) and of ABT- 1 and wa ter as controls ( CK1 and CK2 ) , the promoting effect for cutting propagation survival of 12 tree species was tested, namely Cedrus deodara, Sabina chinesis cv. Kaizuca, Platycladus orientalis cv. Aurea, Porocarpus macrophyllus var. maki , Taxus mairei , Mabonia fortunei , Loropetalum chinense var. rubrum , Gardenia jasminoides form . grandiflora, Buxus sinica, Lagerstroemia indica, Michelia figo and Osmanthus fragrans. The results showed that for all 12 species the effect of new regulators was superior to that of CK2 , and for 10 species it excelled that of CK1 . The growth regulator treatment largely enhanced the survival percentage to as high as over 70% for 8 species. The optimum combination of regulator type, concentration and dipping time fo reach tree species was selected, most of which are ABT- 11 regulator combining with 50 or 100 mg. kg- 1 concent ration and 1. 0 h dipping time.

Xu Qiufang, Qian Xinbiao, Gui Zuyun
1998, 15(1): 27-31.
[Abstract](965) [PDF](207)
Abstract:
This experiment was done by culturing the mixture of soil with litter of Cunninghamia lanceolata , Pinus massioiana and Sassafras tzumu in incubator respectively. The results showed that the pH values of soil decreased due to the littter of C.Lanceolata and P . massoniana. Deficiency of hydrolyzable nitrogen and available phosphate occurred under the treatment of C. lanceolata. On the contrary , the litter of S. tzumu and P . massoniana provided more available untrients for soil than control. Three kinds of litter could greatly activate hydrogen peroxidase, urease, cellulase and polyphenol oxidase. The hydro gen perox idase and urease were activated most by S. tzumu litter. The of C. lanceolata did not activate polyphenol oxidase compared with the other treatment , however, it acted well on cellulase.
