Researches on Alniphyllum fortunei and Cultivation for Pencil Raw Material Forest

Presentations were made on research achievements on Alniphyllum fortunei in China in from 1989 to 2021, including seed properties and seedling cultivation, growth characteristics of pure A. fortunei forest and mixed forest with Cunninghamia lanceolata, Pinus massoniana and other broad-leaved trees, etc. It revealed that the previous studies focused on the degradation of soil fertility caused by successive rotations of C. lanceolata, fews on the cultivation of A. fortune for industrial raw material forest. Therefore, five propositions were put forwarded for cultivation of pencil raw material forest, such as more researches on breeding, basic theory, mixed species experiment, disease and insect control.
