Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to 1-year to 2-year-old kiwifruit nursery plants, specifically covering seedlings, self-root nursery plants, and grafted nursery plants. It explicitly prohibits the use of 3-year-old or older plants. It is relevant for agricultural producers, nurseries, and quarantine authorities involved in the cultivation and trade of Actinidia Lindl. varieties within China.
Technical requirements
This standard specifies mandatory quality indicators for kiwifruit nursery stock, categorized into three grades (Grade 1, 2, and 3). The requirements cover the purity of varieties and rootstocks, ensuring that female and male plant flowering stages are synchronized. For the root system, the standard dictates parameters for side root morphology, distribution, quantity, length, and thickness. Regarding the nursery plant stem (shoot), the regulations include limits on the stem straightness, height, and thickness, with specific metrics varying based on the plant type and age. The standard also mandates that root and stem bark must be free from severe shrinkage or new damage, with strict limits on the total area of old damage. For grafted plants, specific criteria are set for the number of fully developed buds and the healing condition of the graft union, strictly prohibiting phenomena like 'big foot' or 'small foot' mismatches. All nursery plants must be completely lignified and free from designated quarantine pests and diseases, including root-knot nematodes, scale insects, and bacterial canker.
Testing methods
The standard outlines specific inspection procedures utilizing a combination of visual assessments and precise measurements. Visual inspection is primarily used for evaluating root morphology, bud development, graft union healing, and the presence of pests and diseases. Metric measurements require specific tools: steel tape measures are used for assessing side root length and stem height, while vernier calipers are mandated for measuring side root and stem thickness. A protractor is utilized to determine the stem straightness angle. For bark damage, a transparent film overlay method is used, which is then transferred to coordinate paper to calculate the total wound area. Random sampling methods are strictly defined for quality judgment, with sampling rates varying based on the total batch size, referencing the guidelines in GB 20464.
