Method for inducing blueberries to root by using liquid culturing media and permeable matrix

2009 
The invention discloses a method for inducing blueberries to root by using liquid culture media and permeable matrix, comprising the following steps: (1) preparing rooting culturing media; (2) transferring the healthy and strong blueberry seedlings which are subcultured for 40d and are 3-4 cm high into the rooting culturing media, culturing the blueberry seedlings for 7-10d in the dark and for 12h/d for about 20d under intermitted illumination condition until the blueberry seedlings have 3-7 root systems of 0.5-2 cm long; and (3) transplanting the test-tube blueberry seedlings which are cultured for 30d to root, are 3-6 cm high and have the root length of 0.5-2 cm into the media in which the proportion of turfy soil to moss is 1:1, and managing the blueberry seedlings. The rooting culturing media is prepared according to the following substeps: 1) preparing 0.8 cm*1.2 cm filtering paper balls or defatted cotton balls or 0.2 cm*0.6 cm vermiculites which function as the matrix of the rooting culturing media; 2) preparing rooting culturing solution which has the WPM of 1/2, the IBA of 1.0-5.0 mg.L-1, the edible white sugar of 2 percent and the pH value of 5.0-5.2; and 3) adding 6-10 filtering paper balls or defatted cotton balls or 20-30 vermiculites which are soaked by the rooting culturing solution and adding 3-5 ml rooting culturing solution to each culturing bottle and capping the culturing to sterilize according to the routine method. The invention has short rooting period and low production cost, can ensure that 100 percent of the blueberry seedlings can root and over 95 percent of the transplanted blueberry seedlings can survive and realize the rapid industrialized propagation of the blueberry seedlings on a large scale.
