- Abstract
Red sandalwood (Pterocarpus santalinus) is the most precious species of Pterocarpus, and the long maturity period of its heartwood is an important factor limiting its development. The 1-year-old plants of P. macarocarpus were chosen as the rootstocks to graft red sandalwood with single-bud scions of 1-year-old shoots in spring. The 5-month survival rate reached over 80%, and the grafted plants grew well. Moreover, the grafting significantly promoted the formation and development of the heartwood of red sandlawood. At 18 1 month after grafting, compared with the seedling plants, the diameter of heartwood was increased by 82. 8% and 29.6%, respectively, and the ratio of heartwood increased by 64.8% and 29.6%, respectively. The propagation technology had outstanding practical value and scientific significance, which has not been reported at home and abroad.
