Experiments were conducted to investigate the proper stem number and the propagation method of Lycium Chinense Mill. from 1993 to 1994.The results obtained were summerized as follows. The most effective propagation method was stem cutting 20cm in which flowering time was 15days earlier and dry fruit weight was 30 percent heavier(91kg/10a) than in seed propagation. The optimal diameter of cutting was 0.9cm of which dry fruit weight was 227kg/10a and 28 percent heavier compared with that of 0.5cm. stem number 5 had the best top growth and the heaviest 100 fruit weight as 13.4g. Fruit number per plant was increased as 864 in stem number 5. Dry fruit yield of stem number 5 was 104kg/10a and 16 percent increased compared with that of control.
