Collection and storage of citrus scion

Collection: According to the requirements of the planting species, good growth and development, full and robust, full shoots, smooth tip surface, complete green and glossy leaf, and no pests should be cut from the middle and upper part of the crown of the fine mother tree. Grafting can also be performed on selected grafted seedlings or saplings. Scions must be fully matured in the shoots, and the new shoots should be cut when they are not germinating. After scion cutting, the leaves should be removed immediately (buds should be left with petiole), 50 to 100 pieces are bundled, and wrapped with wet cloth and marked with the species name for grafting. If scions are attached to pests such as mites or mites, wash with 1% soap water or 500 times neutral detergent.
Storage: The scion is usually taken with the pick, only under special circumstances for storage. Keeping the scion moist is the key to storage. Commonly used moisturizers include clean river sand (moisture content 5% to 10%, hand squeezing, light release, loose powder), moist and clean moss (stone flower), etc. The optimum storage temperature of the scion is 4 to 13°C. Humidity is suitable, and the survival rate of grafting for several weeks is also high.
Transportation: If you need to transport, please indicate the species, tree number, tying, moisturizing, and transporting quickly. The number of scions is different depending on the method of transportation. A small quantity can be wrapped in a wet towel or wet stone, and it can be carried in a plastic film bag with vent holes. Large quantities can be used as containers, such as bamboo culms or wooden boxes with membranes, leaving pores, a layer of scorched moisturizing materials such as wet stone flowers, which are layered into containers, and the top layer is covered with stone flowers and other materials and then covered with a layer. The film, on the way to keep the filler moisture content and proper ventilation. When the transportation time is longer or the temperature is higher, wash the shoots with clean water first, and soak them in a solution of sodium hypochlorite (or bleaching liquid) with an effective chlorine concentration of about 0.5%. The soaking time is 5 to 10 minutes. Remove and rinse with water several times, dry or blot dry with water absorbent paper, and wrap it in a polyethylene plastic bag. As far as possible, exclude the air in the bag, tie the bag mouth, and then put a layer of plastic bag on the outside to wrap tightly and tie the bag mouth. You can also put moisturizing material between the two plastic bags to prevent the branches from drying. Avoid contact with moisturizing materials such as wet towels and branches, so as to avoid spoilage of branches due to excessive humidity. To prevent extrusion or excessively high temperatures and low temperatures, the packed sticks can be placed in containers such as cardboard boxes, and checked every 2 to 3 days. When the petiole is removed, it should be opened to remove the petiole. Should be removed, branches removed from the bag often due to temperature differences in the surface of the formation of water, the use of absorbent paper, etc. to absorb water and then into the bag, so even at 37 °C high temperature conditions can also be used for a longer period of time, 20 days At the same time, the grafting survival rate of the scions was not significant.
