Technological flow The main points of the technology Time (season or month) 1. Preliminary selection of superior trees Among the superior stands of Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge, plants with complete shape, spreading canopy, good growth, more than 5 years old, excellent seed yield and resistance to stress were selected as candidate superior individual plants.
Specific requirements: the ratio of good individual plants should not be higher than 5% of the population; the average seed yield per square metre of canopy area in two consecutive years should be above 0.2kg; the kernel rates should be above 40%; the kernel-fruit ratio should be above 55%; the oil content of seed kernels should be above 60%; great resistance and growing healthy and strong.Autumn of the 1st year and 2nd year 2. Re-selection of superior trees Continue to investigate the single crown size, kernel rate, kernel-fruit ratio, seed yield, oil content of seed kernel, pests and diseases of the selected superior trees. The trees meet or exceed the minimum selection criteria can be kept for candidates for superior trees, otherwise, eliminate them. Autumn of the 3rd year 3. The final selection of the superior trees The selection of the superior trees will continue to be measured, and those that meet or exceed the criteria for selection will be selected as finalists. Classified the superior trees according to their yield and proceed the clonal test. Autumn of the 4th year 4. Selection of good asexual lines Seedlings from clonal test of selected superior trees are tested in a randomized group trial design, with plot conditions as uniform as possible; more than 30 samples for each clone test. The test is carried out for 3 consecutive years and compared with the control group. The yield of clonal is calculated by the average yield of fruiting period of three consecutive years, and those that produce 15% more oil per unit area than the control clonal ones or more than two times of the standard deviation of the average of all tested clonal are considered to be superior clonal. Measured from the third year of the test forest 5. Regional experiment The clonal varieties can be declared superior varieties only after three or more regional experiment in different geographical climates and soil types and pass the trait evaluation with all the criteria are met. 4 consecutive years of fruiting 6. Mass promotion Superior varieties are validated and promoted on a large scale in suitable areas.
