| To determine the plant-row spacing of Lycium ruthenicum, the seedlings were used for field planting, with three different plant spacing of 1, 1.2, 1.5 m, and three plant-row spacing of 1.5 m×2 m, 1.5 m×3 m and 2 m×2.5 m, the effects of different plant-row spacing on the growth and phenotypic traits of Lycium ruthenicum were compared by measuring plant height, crown width, number of branches, number of lateral branches, length of lateral branches, tree tapering, fruit setting rate, fruit parameters and yield. The results showed that the proper plant spacing and row spacing for artificial cultivation of Lycium ruthenicum were 1.5 m and 2-3 m respectively, and the plant-row spacing could be adjusted appropriately as required while in similar occupy area for individual plant; under the planting space of 1.5 m×3 m, the fruit variation of Lycium ruthenicum was small, fruit phenotypic characteristics such as longitudinal diameter, transverse diameter and fruit shape index were stable relatively.The results aim to provide technical references for artificial cultivation management. |
