Abstract:

This study took polyploid varieties of Arundo donax cv. Lvzhou 1 as the research object,systematically analyzed its growth characteristics,agronomic traits,and nutrient contents in the southwest region of Shandong Province through field experiments,and explored the effect of environmental factors and cultivation measures on its growth. The results showed that Arundo donax cv. Lvzhou 1 entered a rapid growth period 90 d after transplantating,and there was an extremely significant(p<0.01)positive correlation between stem diameter and plant height. The number of new tiller branches was significantly(p<0.05)affected by the stubble height and the number of branches of tissue-cultured seedlings. When the stubble height was 100 cm,the number of new tiller branches reached 26.6;when the number of branches of tissue-cultured seedlings was more than or equal to 3,the number of new tiller branches could be significantly improved. When the plant height was 160-200 cm,the crude protein content of the whole plant(13.3%-13.6%)was the highest,and the crude fiber content(38.3%-50.7%)was within an acceptable range. It is recommended to mow at this stage to balance the yield and nutritional requirements. This study provides a theoretical basis for the scientific planting,harvesting management,and ecological economic coordinated development of Lvzhou 1 in the southwest region of Shandong Province.

Key words: Arundo donax cv. Lvzhou 1, southwest region of Shandong Province, growth characteristic, forage production, adaptability
