How to plant apricot

Seedling planting: it is suitable to select deep and breathable sandy soil, 20 jin of farm manure can be applied to each planting hole, and 2/3 of the leaves should be removed and covered with sunshade net. Fertilization and irrigation: appropriate amount of urea and potassium sulfate can be applied. Water can be watered every 3-4 days after planting and once every 15 days after a month. Plant pruning: after the seedlings restore their growth, lift off the sunshade net to set the stem, and trim the diseased and weak branches. Late management: artificial pollination in sunny days to prevent diseases and insect pests.

First, seedling planting

1. Choose to plant in the sandy soil with flat terrain, convenient drainage and irrigation, and deep and breathable soil layer. The soil should not be hardened and sticky, and then dig a planting hole, which is generally twice the size of the soil ball, with a plant spacing of 2 meters and a row spacing of 3 to 4 meters. Each planting hole is applied about 20 jin of farm manure.

2. After the fertilizer is mixed with the soil, cover the 10cm soil, then put the seedlings in, and then cover the soil slowly. When you are close to the flat ground, you should slightly lift the seedlings, then cover the soil, then step on the soil and soak the soil thoroughly, and then cultivate the soil to the roots of the seedlings. When planting the seedlings, remove the leaves of the 2xamp 3, and then cover them with a sunshade net.

II. Fertilization and irrigation

The main results are as follows: 1. When seedlings begin to sprout, appropriate amount of urea can be applied, when new shoots grow, appropriate amount of quick-acting fertilizer can be applied, leaves are mainly sprayed with potassium dihydrogen phosphate and urea, potassium sulfate fertilizer is mainly applied at flowering and fruiting stage, and yield-increasing bacteria can be sprayed at full fruiting stage. after fruit harvest, a large amount of farm manure should be applied, that is, cold-proof fertilizer in winter, which is beneficial to supplement tree nutrition.

2. However, the trees planted in the first year generally do not bear fruit, and farm manure and nitrogen fertilizer are mainly applied to promote growth. After the seedlings are planted, they can be watered every 3-4 days, which is beneficial to the growth of the seedlings. After 30 days, it can be watered every 15 days or so, generally depending on the soil conditions.

III. Plant pruning

1. After planting seedlings to restore their growth, you can take off the sunshade net and set the stem at a position about 1 meter from the ground, leaving branches at separate angles, generally retaining 8 to 10 branches, and so on. When the seedlings grow to half a meter long, you can pick 5 branches to focus on culturing, and the rest can promote new shoots.

2. During this period, coring can also be carried out, and several grades of branches can be cultivated to remove the over-dense branches. the fruiting trees usually prune withered branches, dense branches, slender branches, disease and insect branches to improve their crown structure, and cultivate fruiting branches to sprout more new shoots, cut short and cut roots for aging trees, and then re-cultivate fruiting branches.

IV. Post-management

If the soil moisture is high, it will affect the flowering, pollination and fertilization of seedlings, and lead to a decrease in fruit setting rate, so artificial pollination can be carried out on sunny days. In summer with high temperature, it is easy to cause diseases and insect pests in case of rain. During this period, the branches of diseases and insect pests should be cut off in time, and spray to kill insects and bacteria, so as to reduce losses. In the process of seedling growth, receiving sufficient light is conducive to fruit expansion and enhance quality. Therefore, adequate nutrition is needed at each growth stage.
