title: [Study on inoculation technology of Cistanche tubulosa in the field].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To increase inoculation rate of Cistanche tubulosa in the field by studying inoculation technologies.
  
  
  METHODS
  Root-tube inoculation methed was used on field experiments. Inoculation rate of C. tubulosa was compared to different size seeds and inoculation mediums and inoculation time.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  May is suitable inoculation time. The inoculation rate of C. tubulosa is 92.5% while the seed width is more than 0.7 mm and coarse sand is selected during inoculation period.
