Four ramie varieties were selected to investigate the correlation between Four ramie varieties were selected as materials to investigate the correlation between cutting density of low branches and the following properties: survival rate, dry root weight, stem height recruitment, dry leaf weight and branch characteristics. Significant negative correlation could be observed between cutting density and dry root weight, stem height recruitment, dry leaf weight, branch length. Negative correlation could be observed between cutting density and quantities of branches, dry branche weight. And a significant positive correlation existed between the density and the lowest branch. No significant correlation was found between different varieties. Taking all the factors into consideration, it was learned that the optimum cutting density should be about 10 cm×10 cm.
