It was demonstrated by cutting experiment of Elacocarpus sylvestris,Liquidambar formosana,Altingia gracilipes,Magnoliaceae skinneriana,Temstroemia gymnanthera,with semi-lignified branches treated by different root-inducing regulator and concentration and substrate at Changle Forest Experamental Station of Yuhang District of Zhejiang in June 2003 year that cutting survival rate,rooting rate,rooting coefficient,length of the roots and the quantity of the new roots of 5 tree species had significant different after six month,and it was different that the reaction of different tree species to rooting-inducing regulator.The best treatment combination of 5 tree species was:Elacocarpus sylvestris:NAA, 250 mg·L-1,rooting rate 97.0%;Liquidambar formosana:IBA,250 mg·L-1,rooting rate 64.5%;Altingia gracilipes:ABT1, 250 mg·L-1, rooting rate 74.6%;Magnoliaceae skinneriana:IBA,500 mg·L-1,rooting rate 56.1%;Temstroemia gymnanthera:IBA,250 mg·L-1,rooting rate 95.2%.The different cutting substrates had significant influence on rooting rate.The substrate No.2 (yellow soil:river sand =7∶3(volume ratio)) was best.

This paper dealt with an experiment on container seedlings culture with nonwoven and light medium for Cupressus funebris, a precious timber tree species, through orthogonal design. The effects of container height, quantities of controlled release fertilizer and the medium proportion on seedling quality of Cupressus funebri were studied. The results showed that seedling height, ground diamater, divarication number and the ratio of seedling height to ground diameter of Cupressus funebri were significantly affected by the height of container and the quantities of controlled release fertilizer, and little influenced by the medium proportion. There were significant different influences on seedling growth among different treatment combinations. The treatment combination No.9 was the best one with averaged seedling height, ground diamater, divarication number and the ratio of seedling height to ground diameter of 21.75 cm, 0.271 cm, 10.7 branches and 80.29, respectively. The treatment combination of No.6, No.3 and No. 5 were relatively good treatment. The length of seedling container of nonwoven with diameter of 5 cm for Cupressus funebris, could be selected as 10—12 cm. The quantities of controlled release fertilizer of 3 kg·m-3 and the seedlings density of 215—220 plants·m-2 could be the optimal for nursing seedling with high quality. The costs of medium proportion on several container seedlings base of Zhejiang Province were compared and analyzed.
