Planting techniques of pomegranate

1, the growth environment, pomegranate like light, have certain cold resistance, like wet and fertile lime soil, so when planting, should be in the open, calcareous soil land, there is an open yard can be considered to plant.

3. Daily maintenance, pomegranate likes wet environment, so it needs to be watered from time to time. In addition, pomegranate trees are easy to attract bugs. The most common ones are paper slips and bugs on pomegranate leaves, which look exactly the same color as the branches and need to be carefully observed, grabbed, or drugged.

5, protection, pomegranate vitality although tenacious, but also need protection, such as rodent damage, or severe cold, should pay attention to, such as barbed wire around the layout, appropriate protection of pomegranate trees in winter.

Matters needing attention in pomegranate planting

1. Pomegranate is a plant that likes the sun and is more resistant to high temperature. therefore, potted pomegranate in the courtyard or balcony does not need shade, and the growing season should be placed in a place with plenty of sunshine. In summer, the pomegranate can be placed in the hot sun, the more flowers, the more fruits. Some people especially dote on potted pomegranate, hoping that it will often blossom and bear fruit, for fear that it can not withstand the strong summer sun exposure, and always put it in a shady place at noon or even throughout the day. As everyone knows, this is counterproductive-it is one of the main reasons why pomegranates do not blossom and bear fruit. Because of the lack of light during the growth period, it is very easy to cause branches and leaves to grow, resulting in less flowering, less fruit, serious or even no flowering, no fruit.

2. Pomegranate requires moist soil, but it is not resistant to waterlogging. Therefore, no matter the soil is planted or potted, it is necessary to keep the soil moist without stagnant water. In summer, it is generally possible to water once a day, and every other day in late autumn. Potted pomegranate in the flowering and fruiting period to strictly control watering, must not see the potted soil surface dry immediately watering, might as well wait for its branches and leaves wilting slightly, then watering is not too late, and watering must be thoroughly watered. If the basin soil is too dry, it is easy to cause bud drop, dried fruit and fruit drop; the basin soil is too wet, although sometimes it does not affect the plant growth, but it is also prone to bud drop and fruit cracking. This is also one of the reasons that affect its blossom and fruit.

Pomegranate pomegranate pest control

1. The main diseases of pomegranate are: early defoliation disease (from the end of July to the first and middle of August), fruit stem rot (pomegranate rot), soot disease on branches.

2. The main pests of pomegranate are: leaf-eating diamondback moth, large bag moth, leopard bark moth, stem window moth, fruit pest peach borer and so on. In order to prevent and control diseases and insect pests, do not plant too densely, sparse branches and sprouts timely, adjust density, pay attention to ventilation, light transmission and drainage.

As pomegranate likes fertilizer, fertilizer and water management should be strengthened, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied in winter, liquid fertilizer containing mainly phosphorus and potassium should be applied every 15 days in spring and summer, 0.5% urea can also be sprayed on the leaf surface 3 times, and fertilization can be suspended during flowering. Fertilization after fruit formation should be based on the principle of less and diligent, in order to reduce fruit drop and enhance disease prevention ability. If diseases and insect pests have occurred, the diseases, pests, fruits and dead leaves should be cleaned up in time and controlled by drugs.

Through the above content, I believe everyone has a deeper understanding of growing pomegranate. In fact, pomegranate is a kind of fruit that is very easy to grow. It has strong vitality and is not easy to die of illness. People who like to eat pomegranate might as well try to plant one or two pomegranate trees by themselves.
