Test on Screening out the Optimal Medium for Cultivating Phoebe zhennan Seedlings
In this paper, Phoebe zhennan seedlings were used as the test material with 7 medium formulas to study the effect of mixed medium on the growth and physiology of Phoebe zhennan non-woven container seedlings and screen out the optimal medium formula to lay a foundation for subsequently developing Phoebe zhennan plantations. The results showed that the height growth peak period of the seedlings was from July to September and the basal growth peak started from August,with significant differences in the indexes of growth, biomass,root system and physiology among different medium formulas. Comprehensive analysis with membership function showed that the medium formula A won the highest score of 0.87667 in the comprehensive evaluation. The study could lay a foundation for scale and industrial development of Phoebe zhennan plantations and is of significance in conserving and utilizing Phoebe zhennan wild resources.
