Abstract:

The Chinese bayberry industry is critically constrained by a harvest peak which coincides with the plum-rain season,resulting in severe pre-harvest losses(fruit cracking,drop and decay),fruit-fly infestation and high post-harvest wastage. Protected cultivation has emerged as a strategy to mitigate these issues through environmental control. This review systematically synthesized recent advances in Chinese bayberry protected cultivation,detailing the technical features and field performance of four main cultivation models:insect-proof netting,rain-shelter,forcing,and delaying cultivation. The dynamics of temperature,humidity,and light inside facilities were systematically examined. Their regulatory mechanisms on tree photosynthesis,growth,development,fruit quality and yield were elucidated. Current challenges,including high implementation costs,suboptimal management efficiency,and significant energy consumption,were discussed. Future research directions were proposed,such as deciphering plant-environment interactions,developing cost-effective and intelligent equipment,establishing precision predictive models,and breeding adapted cultivars. This review aims to provide a scientific basis for enhancing the productivity and sustainability of the Chinese bayberry industry.

Key words: Chinese bayberry, protected cultivation, environmental control, physiology, yield
