Abstract
In order to extend large-area planting of Phormium tenax in China, 18 cultivars of P. tenax from Yunnan Province and New Zealand were introduced as experimental material, survival rate, infection rate, and increment change regula tion were investigated and researched after introduction. Disease situation of 10 cultivars introduced from New Zealand were investigated and analyzed, and growth situation of 8 cultivars of tiller seedlings introduced from Yunnan was investigated. The results showed that, average survival rate of P. tenax cultivars introduced from Yunnan was 31.95% higher, average leaf length was 19.66 cm higher, average leaf width was 0.38 cm higher, average leaf number was 1.59 higher, average taproot length was 13.55 cm higher, average taproot thickness was 0.16 cm higher, and average root number was 2.38 higher than that of the cultivars introduced from New Zealand. Among the 10 cultivars introduced from New Zealand, average infection rates of Sundowner, Jester, Black Rage, Pink Panther, and Yellow Wave were 18.87% than the other five cultivars. Among the cultivars introduced from Yunnan, tiller seedling number of Red Rage, Apricot Queen, Bronze, Tenax, and Maiden annual were more, respectively 131, 89, 79, 61, and 117, and those of the other cultivars were smaller. The results of comprehensive scores showed that, the order of the cultivars based on adaptability from high to low was Bronze, Tenax, Black Rage(Yunnan), Red Sword, Apricot Queen(Yunnan), Rainbow Queen(Yunnan), Maiden, Red Rage, Sundowner, Apricot Queen(New Zealand), Black Rage(New Zealand), Tricolour, Cream Delight, Rainbow Queen(New Zealand), Evening Glow, Yellow Wave, Jester, Pink Panther. The cultivars suitable for growth in Hunan were Bronze, Mountain linen, Black Knight(Yunnan) and Red Sword.
