Farming goji berry of Ningqi No.9 was a new variety reproduced and selected by specific plant in Ningxia goji berry production farm in Inner Mongolia. This variety has characteristics of strong growth, self-incompatibility, heat resistance, large pulp and high grade rate. Zhao Jianhua et al made comparative test and regional test for farming goji berry of Ningqi No.9 by comparing with goji berry of Ningqi No.7 in Yinchuan, Zhongwei, Zhongning and other areas in Ningxia in 2008 and 2010. Qin Kenet al started test in Ningxia, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Gansu and other areas in 2012. The variety showed good characteristics of large pulp and stable yield at different experimental sites, and it was authorized and named as farming goji berry of Ningqi No.9 by Ningxia Forest Variety Approval Committee inDecember 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n 1.Characteristics<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The trees of farming goji berry of Ningqi No.9 are opened with characteristics of\u00a0fast\u00a0growth,\u00a0heat resistance, self-incompatibility\u00a0and need mixture planting and\u00a0orchard establishment, the plants will be in a stable period after planted 5 years in Ningxia.\u00a0Compared with goji berry of Ningqi No.7, the\u00a0phonological period\u00a0of farming goji berry of Ningqi No.9 is\u00a0longer; the fruit ripening period was 6 days later.\u00a0The old branches are\u00a0gray white without thorns under\u00a0normal\u00a0water and\u00a0fertilizer\u00a0conditions.\u00a0The annual branches are green with purple stripes at tips.\u00a0The natural branching ability is weak (2.8 branches \/ branch)\u00a0and the\u00a0branching ability\u00a0after cut is strong\u00a0(4.4branches \/ branch).\u00a0Branches are thick and long\u00a0with\u00a0medium hardness\u00a0(the branches are\u00a051.93 cm\u00a0long and\u00a09.25px\u00a0thick on average),\u00a0the average length of\u00a0internodes is\u00a039.25px.\u00a0The mature leaves\u00a0are\u00a0thick, dark green, and the leaves of annual branches\u00a0are\u00a0twisted.\u00a0The length to width\u00a0is 4.2 to 1, and the leaf is\u00a00.71mm\u00a0thick.\u00a0The flowers of biennial branches are fewer,\u00a0every internode\u00a0can grow 0.25 flower on average, the upper part of the flower\u00a0buddies purple, the calyx is\u00a0broken with 5 petals, the lobes of tube are round, the diameters of blooming petals are\u00a040.25px, the throat of flower is pea green, there are\u00a0three green vascular bundles on the crown and the middle of the lobe\u2019s back.\u00a0The average fruit weight is 1.06 grams, the fresh fruits are 15% heavier than goji berries of Ningqi No.7, the ratio of vertical and horizontal diameter\u00a0is\u00a02.5,\u00a0the flesh\u00a0is\u00a01.8mm thick, and the fruit contains about 32 seeds on average, the fresh to the dry is 4.3 to 4.7.
