METHOD FOR PRODUCING SEEDLING OF PLANT BELONGING TO GENUS OPHIOPOGON AND GENUS LIRIOPE AND METHOD FOR COVERING AND GREENING GROUND UTILIZING THE METHOD

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing seedlings of plants belonging to the genus Ophiopogon and the genus Liriope suitable for covering and greening the ground, capable of stably mass-producing the seedlings by growing the seedlings from seeds, and to provide a method for covering and greening the ground utilizing the method. PSOLUTION: This method for mass-producing the seedlings of Ophiopogon japonicus (dwarf lilyturf) and Liriope muscari (liriope) comprises subjecting the seeds of the dwarf lilyturf and the liriope to temperature control treatment under a prescribed temperature condition for a prescribed period, soaking the seeds subjected to the temperature control treatment in water during a whole day and night, so as to make the seeds absorb the water, subjecting the seeds to molting treatment, and sowing the seeds in prescribed cultivated soil fed into a seedling-raising container or a vegetation mat, or mixing the seeds with the cultivated soil, so as to form a cultivated soil mixture, and then fixing the cultivated soil mixture to the seedling-raising container or the vegetation mat by injecting the mixture under pressure. Thus, the seedlings of the dwarf lilyturf and the liriope are grown from the seeds in the cultivated soil. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
