Growing performance and quality characteristics of three superior clones of Phyllanthus emblica L.planted in Guigang City of Guangxi
In order to select superior clones of Phyllanthus emblica L.suitable to grow in Guigang City of Guangxi and provide scientific basis for breeding and production of Phyllanthus emblica L.,the planting per-formance and quality characteristics of three superior clones of Pingdan No.1,Pingdan No.2 and Pingdan No.3 were investigated and analyzed with wild Phyllanthus emblica L.as control.The results showed that Pingdan No.1and Pingdan No.2 were early or medium-early maturity,while Pingdan No.3 was medium maturity in Guigang City,Guangxi.All the three superior clones of Phyllanthus emblica L.showed high yielding ability,and the average yield of single plant of 5 years old tree of the three superior clones ranged from 46.10 kg to 50.95 kg,with the average single fruit weight ranging from 9.32 g to 10.54 g,significantly high-er than that of wild Phyllanthus emblica L.The average content of soluble solid in fruits of different clones of Phyllanthus emblica L.was higher than 10.60%,and the content of tannin,vitamin C,soluble sugar and sol-uble protein were higher.Pingdan No.1,Pingdan No.2 and Pingdan No.3 showed good comprehensive per-formance with high yield,big fruit and good disease resistance,which could be bred as superior variety of Phyllanthus emblica L.and applied to production.
