Abstract: The key to the production of plant disease wax leaf specimens is color retention and rapid drying. In this paper,the best dry color retention method and treatment time of 9 kinds of plant diseases leaves with different textures were explored by experi-ment. The method of cupric acetate treatment followed by ironing(turn to cotton)for 4 minutes was adequate for leaf of euonymus ja-ponicas leaf spot. The method of ironing(turn to cotton)for 30 seconds was suitable for leaf of Cercospora black spot of peanut. The method of electric iron treatment(turn to cotton)for 1 minute was adequate for leaf of jujube rust. The method of electric iron treatment (turn to silk)for 40 seconds was adequate for leaf of grape downy mildew. The method of cupric acetate treatment followed by ironing (turn to hemp)for 70 seconds was adequate for leaf of tomato grey mould. The method of microwave processing for 1 minute was ade-quate for leaf of cucumber downy mildew. The method of microwave processing for 40 seconds was adequate for leaf of wheat leaf rust. The method of ironing(turn to hemp)for 47 seconds was adequate for leaf of corn northern leaf blight. The method of electric iron treat-ment(turn to hemp)for 1 minute was suitable for leaf of tobacco brown spot. All these methods significantly decrease the time for pre-serving color and drying,which provides experience to rapidly produce high-quality herbarium sheet.
