Planting method and time of blueberry

Select young saplings of 2-3 years old to plant in places with loose soil and strong permeability, and the slope should not be too large, blueberries can be planted in spring and autumn, and in the process of planting, appropriate methods should be taken to manage and improve the soil in time to provide a high-quality growth environment for blueberries and reasonable irrigation and fertilization in the planting process to ensure the normal growth and development of blueberries.

Blueberry has high nutritional value, beautiful fruit color, unique taste, loved by many consumers, market prospects and economic value are very good.

Planting methods of blueberries

I. selection of saplings

When purchasing saplings, blueberry seedlings of 2-3 years can be selected directly, which can bear fruit quicker. If younger seedlings are selected, their growth cycle will be longer, profit cycle will be prolonged, and costs will be increased. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, it is also necessary to avoid selecting seedlings with diseases and poor growth.

II. Garden construction

1. Location: because the root system of blueberry is relatively shallow and very thin, it is best to choose acidic soil with small slope, loose and strong permeability, so as to facilitate the growth and development and nutrient absorption of blueberry.

2. Planting: blueberries can be planted in both spring and autumn. Generally, the survival rate of planting blueberries in autumn is higher than that in spring. If you choose to plant blueberries in spring, do not plant them too late. The row spacing should be adjusted according to different varieties of blueberries, and the mixed planting of multiple varieties can improve the yield and quality of blueberries.

III. Soil management

1. Clean ploughing: this method is often used to grow tall blueberries, and most meetings start in August. If it is carried out after the Beginning of Autumn, it is not conducive to blueberry trees overwintering.

2. Grass-growing method: it can not only increase the yield of blueberries to a certain extent, but also keep the soil in a good humidity state, which is beneficial to machine cultivated land.

3. Weeding: if there are too many weeds in the garden, it will compete with the soil for nutrients. Timely weeding can increase the yield. It is generally adopted to spray herbicides for weeding, with low cost and high efficiency.

4. Soil mulching: when planting dwarf blueberries, cover them with leaves of about 5-10cm, which can increase the content of organic matter in the soil, maintain the moisture in the soil, and restrain the excessive growth of weeds in the garden.

IV. Fertilization

1. Types of fertilization: when planting blueberries, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is mainly applied, and the proportion is 1:1:1. Do not apply nitrate nitrogen fertilizer in the blueberry orchard, nor can you apply chlorine-containing fertilizers such as ammonium chloride.

2. Fertilization method: ditch fertilization is generally used to plant high-clump blueberries and rabbit-eyed blueberries, while sprinkling is used to plant dwarf blueberries.

V. Irrigation

Because the root distribution of blueberries is shallow, they like the humid environment, so they should be irrigated in time in the planting process, remember not to irrigate water with high PH value, but to choose acidic water irrigation, which can be irrigated once every 3-5 days.

Blueberry planting time

It is best to choose to plant blueberries from autumn to the following spring before sprouting. During this period, blueberry seedlings are easy to transport, easy to manage and have a higher survival rate. Most of the northern areas of our country choose to plant in spring and in autumn, if they are not managed as blueberry trees in winter, they are vulnerable to frost damage. The spring planting is mostly carried out from March to April, and the seedlings of 2-3 years can not only save the cost, but also improve the survival rate of the seedlings.

Blueberry has certain requirements on soil, precipitation, light time, air temperature, humidity and water source. When planting blueberry, all the conditions needed for its growth must be met to ensure the success of planting.
