How to grow gooseberry planting methods and matters needing attention

Gooseberry, also known as "lantern fruit", is a kind of plant introduced and cultivated from abroad in our country. it is mainly eaten by fruit, the fruit is turquoise or red, and there are some white stripes on the surface. It is very popular with consumers in the market. Many people want to plant it, but before planting it, people must want to know how to grow it.

How to grow gooseberries

1. Soil selection of gooseberry. Gooseberry likes neutral to slightly acidic soil, loose and fertile soil, an appropriate amount of humus, thickened soil layer can promote the growth of gooseberry. It is best to choose a garden with flat terrain and sufficient light to plant, and a gentle slope with a slope of no more than 10 degrees is also a good place to plant.

2. Water and fertilizer management of gooseberry. The basic fertilizer of gooseberry should be based on farm manure, and trenches should be dug on both sides of the clump or between the two clumps in spring and autumn, and the farm manure should be buried, covered with soil and watered; topdressing of gooseberry should be carried out twice a year, urea and ammonium nitrate should be applied at the budding stage to ensure plant growth, and nitrogen and phosphorus compound fertilizer can also be applied between plants after flowering and fruit growth.

Planting methods and matters needing attention of gooseberry

1. Planting methods:

1. The choice of garden. Currant likes neutral to slightly acidic soil and grows well in deep, humus, loose and fertile soil. The garden had better choose a place with flat terrain and plenty of light. Gentle slopes with slopes of no more than 10 degrees are suitable, and gardens are not easy to build in low-lying, cool, poorly drained areas or places with serious diseases and insect pests.

2. Planting currant. Planting in autumn is better than that in spring. It not only sprouts earlier, but also has high survival rate and strong growth. Dig 30 cm X 30 cm planting holes before planting, with a row spacing of 1 m x 1.5 m or 1 m x 2 m. When planting, 1 to 4 plants were planted in each hole, and the distance between seedlings in the hole was 10-15 cm. After planting, it needs to be re-cut, that is, leave 4-5 buds from the ground for pruning.

2. points for attention:

The adult garden applies about 30 to 40 tons of organic fertilizer per hectare. Topdressing is generally carried out twice a year, the first time in the budding stage topdressing urea and ammonium nitrate, the amount of fertilizer applied to adult plants is 75 to 100 grams. Nitrogen and phosphorus compound fertilizer was applied in the period of shoot growth and rapid fruit expansion after the second flowering, and the amount of topdressing per plant was 100 to 125 grams.

Pruning methods of gooseberry

1. The pruning time of gooseberries can be divided into two periods, one is in the dormant period of gooseberries, and the dormant period of gooseberries is usually in the early spring, when the gooseberries have not yet sprouted. Pruning gooseberries at this time can make new branches and buds grow strong. Another period of time is in summer, when summer pruning is a time when gooseberries are thriving, mainly pruning the upper branches of gooseberries.

2. In spring, the new branches of gooseberries will sprout in the basic branches at the bottom of the gooseberry plant, and the growth ability of these new branches is relatively strong, while the growth ability of the existing old branches is relatively weak. so we should prune these old branches in time to make the newly sprouted branches get more nutrition and growth space. So we have to trim off the old branches on the top of the gooseberries, and under normal circumstances, we only need to keep four or five short cuts to sprout new buds.

Diseases and insect pests of gooseberry and their control

1. Gooseberry powder. Diseased gooseberries are mainly infected with powdery mildew, and there is a layer of white mildew on the leaves, and powdery powder will spread when touched by hands, so reasonable close planting is needed to increase ventilation and light transmittance, and 3000 times diluted terrazole can be sprayed if the disease occurs.

2. Gooseberry wing moth. The branches and leaves of the gooseberry damaged by the winged moth withered, flowers and fruits fell, once the damage was done, the withered branches were cut off and destroyed, and then sprayed with 3000 times diluted malathion solution to control.

When planting gooseberries, we must do a good job of site selection, light and temperature are very important. Then choose the appropriate time to plant. After planting, it is necessary to strengthen the management of fertilizer and water, pruning, diseases and insect pests, so as to ensure the good growth of gooseberries.
