Abstract：Harvesting Qidan 1 after artificial pollinating for 49~67 days, the vigor of seeds was the high-est.When breeding in cold area with low temperature in spring, it was suggested to harvest seeds after artificial pollinating for 55~61 days.The seeds which would be used for several years should be harvested after artificial pollinating for 49~58 days.When breeding under adverse and complex situations, it was suggested to harvest after artificial pollinating for 55~67 days to maintain good seed vigor and seedling growth.
