Rootstock grafting is a technique widely used in fruit tree planting, through grafting, the branches or buds of one plant can be grafted to the roots of another plant, so that the excellent traits of scion and rootstock are combined to form a new plant variety. In the planting of dwarf Xiangfei apple seedlings, rootstock grafting technology is also widely used. M9T337 is a dwarf rootstock that is widely used in the grafting of apple trees. In this paper, we will introduce the effect of M9T337 rootstock grafting on the fruit storage tolerance of dwarf Xiangfei apple seedlings.
First of all, let's understand the characteristics of the M9T337 rootstock. M9T337 is a dwarf rootstock characterized by slow growth, dwarf tree body and compact canopy, which is suitable for dense planting and mechanized management. In the grafting of apple trees, M9T337 rootstock can significantly improve the dwarfing degree of apple trees, reduce the vegetative growth of the tree, promote reproductive growth, and increase fruit yield and quality.
Secondly, let's take a look at the effect of M9T337 rootstock grafting on the storability of dwarf Xiangfei apple seedlings. Through experimental comparison, it was found that the storability of dwarf Xiangfei apple seedlings grafted with M9T337 rootstock was significantly better than that of ordinary rootstock grafted. This is mainly because the grafting of M9T337 rootstock can increase the hardness and soluble solids content of the fruit, reduce the respiration rate and ethylene release of the fruit, thereby prolonging the storage life of the fruit. In addition, M9T337 rootstock grafting could also improve the antioxidant capacity and disease resistance of fruits, and further enhance the storability of fruits.
Finally, let's take a look at the application prospect of M9T337 rootstock grafting technology in the planting of dwarf Xiangfei apple seedlings. With the increasing demand for high-quality and shelf-stable apples, M9T337 rootstock grafting technology has a broad application prospect in the planting of dwarf Xiangfei apple seedlings. Through the grafting of M9T337 rootstock, dwarf Xiangfei apple seedling varieties with good fruit quality and storage resistance can be cultivated to meet the market demand. In addition, the grafting of M9T337 rootstock could also improve the stress resistance and adaptability of dwarf Xiangfei apple seedlings, so that they could maintain good growth momentum and yield quality even under poor growth environment.
In summary, the M9T337 rootstock grafting technology has important application value in the planting of dwarf Xiangfei apple seedlings. Through the grafting of M9T337 rootstock, the storability of dwarf Xiangfei apple seedlings can be significantly improved, the storage life of the fruit can be prolonged, and the market demand for high-quality and shelf-stable apples can be met. In the future, with the continuous improvement of people's requirements for apple quality and the continuous expansion of dwarf apple planting area, M9T337 rootstock grafting technology will play a more important role in the planting of dwarf Xiangfei apple seedlings. At the same time, we also need to further study the principles and methods of M9T337 rootstock grafting technology, continuously improve and improve the application level of this technology, and make greater contributions to the sustainable development of fruit tree planting.
