Planting requirements and techniques of soft seed pomegranate, cuttage is often used in large area planting.

Soft seed pomegranate planting chooses places with loose and fertile soil, leeward to the sun, convenient transportation, flat and open terrain and complete drainage and irrigation. Pomegranate seedlings are generally planted by cutting propagation in a large area, and later management needs to be strengthened after cutting. after cuttings take root and become seedlings, they can be fertilized, and after the seedlings have fallen leaves, they can be planted in the nursery, and the trunk and root system can not be damaged during excavation. when planting, it is necessary to straighten up, stretch the root system, cover the soil and compaction, water the seedlings slowly, and arrange the planting density reasonably.

1. Planting conditions

The construction of the garden requires a place with loose and fertile soil, leeward to the sun, complete drainage and irrigation facilities, convenient transportation and flat and open terrain. Before planting, fertilize the soil first, apply mature compost 5000 kg per mu, and mix it with the soil. The planting hole is dug according to the plant row distance of 6m or 7m, and the length, width and depth of the hole is about 0.7m. If you need to raise seedlings in the nursery, you can leave a small space in the garden.

2. Raising seedlings

It is necessary to strengthen the late management after cutting. after cutting, it is mainly to preserve soil moisture and increase temperature, weed and loosen soil, which needs to be maintained for about 40 days. When cuttings take root and become seedlings, fertilizer and water management can be strengthened, which is helpful to the growth and development of seedlings. Topdressing can be applied 1 to 2 times, about 7 kg of urea per mu, and foliar spraying of dissolved oxygen with potassium dihydrogen phosphate for 1 to 2 times. it can supplement the trace elements needed for seedling growth and control underground insect pests in time so as not to harm the root system.

3. Planting method

Soft seed pomegranate has a very strong asexual fecundity, and cuttage is usually used to raise seedlings when planted in a large area. First of all, the cuttings were collected from November to March, and then the one-year root tillers of the mother plant or the sturdy branches growing in the crown were cut off as cuttings, in which the branches with mechanical damage, growth deformity and being harmed by diseases and insect pests were not suitable to be cuttings. The length of cuttings was about 20cm, and about 2 full buds were needed to ensure its smooth germination.

The cutting time is about from February to March in spring, and the temperature of this time is helpful to rooting. Cutting with professional tools is quick and convenient. After cutting, soil compaction, watering and reasonable cutting density are needed. The most suitable spacing between plants and rows is 20 × 50cm.

4. Colonization

When the seedlings are defoliated, they can come out of the nursery. When they come out of the nursery, they need to open a deep trench of 35cm on one side of the seedlings, and then cut vertically from the 30cm of the seedlings on the other side to dig out the seedlings. When digging, we should pay attention not to damage the trunk and root system. After digging out, the disease and insect branches of the seedlings can be cut off, and then they can be graded transplanting. When planting, put the seedling Fuzheng into the planting hole, then stretch the root system, cover the soil and compaction, water the seedling slowly, and improve its survival rate.
