What is a miniature lotus root? What are the characteristics?

miniature seed lotus root is bred on the basis of test-tube lotus root. After domestication, the test-tube lotus root was transferred to the field for breeding to form miniature seed lotus root. The miniature seed lotus root weighs about 25g, has 3-4 nodes and 4-5 buds, and has the advantages of fast propagation speed, small size and low seed consumption (12-15 seeds per mu, with a total weight of 3-4kg). Conventional lotus seeds use about 2 kilograms per mu), which has incomparable advantages such as convenient transportation, non-toxic, cost-saving, labor-saving and high efficiency. The cultivation technology is simple and easy, which is beneficial for farmers to master. It is mainly used to replace traditional lotus seeds and accelerate the upgrading of lotus varieties. However, because the growth of micro lotus root is weaker than that of conventional lotus root in the early stage and stronger than that of conventional lotus root in the middle and late stage, it is not suitable to use micro lotus root in early-maturing varieties, and it can be widely planted in middle and late-maturing varieties.
