How to improve loquat fruit rate? Reducing humidity, cultivating fruiting mother branches, pruning and reasonable topdressing are the key points.

Loquat is a kind of fruit with high nutritional value. It not only tastes delicious and tastes good, but also its leaves can be mixed with other drugs. Therefore, loquat is welcomed by the market and people. In order to meet the needs of people and the market, the planting area of loquat is getting wider and wider. So how to improve the fruit rate of loquat fruit trees? next, I would like to share some methods to improve the fruit rate of loquat trees.

Reduce humidity

During the period of flower bud differentiation, loquat needs dry, high temperature and sufficient light environment. The flower branch budding period of loquat is in summer, and there are more rainy days in summer, so it is necessary to do a good job of drainage. In order to prevent stagnant water, drainage ditches must be made in places with low terrain and many pothols. if the humidity of some orchards is too high, then when the leaves turn green, dig up the bottom of the loquat tree and expose the roots. then cut the roots of about 80% branches, so as to control the dispersion of nutrients, speed up the turning of leaves to green, and improve the fruit rate of loquat.

Culture fruiting mother branch

Because the fruiting branches of loquat young trees are formed from summer shoots, the time and number of branches and buds in summer and their growth ability are closely related to the fruit rate of loquat. Therefore, a healthy and strong mother branch is the key to the number of fruit, so in spring, when the new branch is mature, we apply fertilizer in time to promote the emergence of branches and buds in summer. In the stage of fertilization, we should also pay attention to the amount of fertilizer to avoid improper fertilization affecting the growth of loquat, according to the growth stage of loquat, fertilizer is generally dominated by phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.

Shaping and pruning

The construction period of loquat is different from other fruit trees. Loquat is an evergreen fruit tree, so it can not be built in winter like other fruit trees. Loquat should be pruned in summer and immediately after harvest. Because the shoot of branches and buds in summer is the most important time for loquat, it should not be too late, otherwise it will affect the growth of flower buds, while autumn pruning of loquat is only an auxiliary pruning, which is pruned between flower buds in autumn. Fruit tree pruning can reduce the occurrence of pests and increase the nutritional development of fruit trees, so as to improve the fruit rate of loquat.

Reasonable topdressing

Loquat needs adequate nutrition, so there is a high demand for phosphorus and potassium in the process of fertilization, so we can increase the ratio of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizer. Because excessive use of nitrogen fertilizer will lead to excessive growth of loquat, excessive nutrition, and seriously affect the production of loquat, so rational use of fertilizer, increase the proportion of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, improve the fruit rate of fruit trees.
