How to cuttage propagation of mulberry

The main results are as follows: 1. For general cutting in autumn, it is suitable to choose the upper part of the new mulberry strip which is not corked and is about to be wooden. The mother branch is a young mulberry tree. Select the middle and lower part of the branch with strong growth, cut it into a section with a length of 15ml / 20cm, the upper bud should be full and disease-free, cut the tip of the flat bud and cut diagonally below the lower bud in the opposite direction. The cut needs to be smooth.

2. Soak the new mulberry strips in the rooting agent for 4 hours, while the old mulberry strips need to soak 6 Murray for 10 hours. After soaking, rinse them with clean water, put them next to each other and put them together. After they are dried, they can be planted. After that, the sand is stored to promote the root, and the clean river sand is used to form a certain border surface, and the treated cuttings are inserted into the sand with a distance of about 2-3 cm, so as to keep the sand moist and can be transplanted after rooting.

How to prune branches and leaves of mulberry trees

1. Usually, the first pruning is carried out after the defoliation of potted mulberry trees in autumn, mainly cutting off the thin and weak branches, which is beneficial to avoid the absorption and waste of nutrients by the twigs during the winter, and then pruned until the beginning of spring in the next year. Pruning the top of the branches mainly helps to restrain the top dominance of mulberry, promote the germination of more leaves and buds, and is conducive to fruit.

2. it is usually carried out during winter dormancy, cutting off dead fists, withered stakes, disease and insect branches, weak branches and so on. The part of the cut should be close to the branch intersection and the cut should be smooth. The pruning time is carried out during the dormant period of mulberry trees. Cut off the unsubstantial part of the tip tissue of mulberry branches. Generally, more than 1.5 meters of branches can be cut off 1x4-1gram, about 1.5 meters of branches can be cut off of about 1.5 meters of branches, and about 1 meter of branches of about 4 meters can be cut off. 10-15 cm is suitable for cutting off.

How to plant mulberry trees

1. Choose deep, loose and fertile soil, away from polluted places, require irrigation and drainage, it is best to choose paddy fields, and sporadic mountains, slopes, beaches, etc., can plant mulberry trees. Deep ploughing soil, promote heart soil oxidation, enhance ventilation and water permeability.

2. Apply sufficient base fertilizer and require fully mature pig and cow manure and soil miscellaneous fertilizer 20m / 30 as base fertilizer, combined with deep ploughing to bury organic fertilizer deep in the soil. Prepare the ground and dig irrigation ditches. The requirement of soil preparation is fine, and the surface of the box is smooth without weeds. The width of the whole compartment is 1.3 mi 1.6 meters, and the depth of the ditch is 20 mi 30 cm. The drainage and irrigation ditch and the cross trench in the middle of the field are excavated around the field, which is 10 centimeters deeper than the box trench.

3. Seedling selection and treatment. Strong seedlings of improved varieties of mulberry should be selected without diseases and insect pests. When planting mulberry in summer and autumn, the roots of mulberry seedlings should not be hurt as much as possible, and the roots of mulberry seedlings should be preserved; when planting mulberry in winter and spring, the overlong main roots should be trimmed slightly to make the lateral roots more frequent. Before planting, the roots should be dipped in mud mixed with phosphate fertilizer, which is conducive to root survival.

Common diseases of mulberry

1. Brown spot disease, symptom identification: the disease is easy to occur under the condition of high temperature and humidity in summer and autumn. the disease mostly occurs on the tender leaves. at the beginning of the disease, the leaves appear water-stained spots, and then expand into polygonal tea-brown spots, which are prone to water absorption and perforation.

2. Symptom identification of bacterial black blight (also known as bacterial disease): the disease harms new twigs and leaves at the end of mulberry trees. After heavy rain in summer and autumn, oil-stained orchard or polygonal disease spots occur on the leaves at the initial stage of the disease, and the disease spots gradually expand to yellowish brown, leaves wrinkle, wither and fall off when serious, the disease is also known as black blight, rotten head disease. In case of strong wind, the disease part is easy to break and the fracture surface is overflowing.

In the above, I have briefly mentioned the pruning method of mulberry. Have you all mastered it? Generally speaking, mulberry trees are relatively easy to grow. The utilization value of mulberry trees is so high, so it is no wonder that so many people begin to plant mulberry trees.
