Fruit tree planting

Fruit is something we often eat, and fruit tree planting can bring good economic benefits. Fruit tree cultivation in China has a history of more than 4,000 years, and the rich resources of fruit trees is one of the largest centers of origin in the world. So, what are the key points of planting fruit trees?

1. Site selection

The selection of fruit tree planting site needs to comprehensively consider many factors, such as local environment, temperature, soil quality, weather change and so on. In addition, the planting site should be selected reasonably according to the growth environment of fruit trees. for example, Hawthorn trees should be planted in slightly acidic sandy soil with fertile soil, deep and loose soil layer and good drainage.

2. Select varieties

The variety of fruit trees has a great influence on the development of orchard and the quality of fruit. If we can not choose a suitable variety of fruit trees, it may affect the quality and yield of fruit, and in serious cases, it may lead to diseases, resulting in the death of fruit trees, and then cause serious economic losses to fruit farmers. Different varieties of fruit trees have different requirements for growth conditions, and there are great differences in production cycle. Therefore, when selecting fruit tree varieties, it should be selected according to the local environmental conditions to improve the planting effect of fruit trees.

3. Fertilizer and water management

Fertilization management: fertilizer can provide sufficient nutrients for the growth of fruit trees. in the growth process of fruit trees, it is necessary to apply fertilizer scientifically and reasonably according to the growth of each stage. The amount of fertilizer application needs to be determined according to the size of fruit trees. if the amount of fertilizer is too large, it is easy to burn seedlings and eventually lead to plant death. At the same time, topdressing should be timely to meet the nutritional needs of fruit tree growth and development and flower bud differentiation. Topdressing is recommended to use a small amount of more fertilizer, so that the fertilizer can be fully absorbed without causing waste. There are many choices of topdressing fertilizer, such as tree-specific compound fertilizer, plant ash and so on.

Drainage and irrigation management: after fertilization, it needs to be watered in time. The alkalinity of irrigation water should not be too high, nor should it be too acidic. In the season of heavy rainfall, it is necessary to pay attention to the drainage of the orchard to avoid excessive accumulation of water and affect the respiration of the rhizome.

4. Pruning

In order to ensure the normal ventilation and lighting of each fruit tree, it is necessary to prune the branches of the fruit trees to avoid the uneven light caused by the mutual concealment between the branches of the fruit trees. Deciduous fruit trees are pruned during the dormancy period from defoliation to pre-budding, before budding in cold areas and after defoliation in warm areas. It is suitable for evergreen fruit trees to be pruned after fruit harvest or before new shoots germinate in spring. Pruning methods include truncation, coring, thinning, slow release and scratching, ring cutting (ring peeling), twisting or branch softening, etc. Pruning methods should be selected according to the tree and local conditions. Generally speaking, the backbone branches should maintain their strong growth, the auxiliary branches should ease their growth potential and transform them into fruit branches, and the old and weak branches should be truncated and renewed in time.

5. Pest control

Nowadays, people advocate a green and healthy life, no matter in the way of travel or lifestyle, they all like a greener way. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of people's life and protect the ecological environment, pesticides should be avoided as far as possible in the process of fruit tree planting, and physical control, biological control and agricultural measures should be the main measures for the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests.

In addition, in the process of planting fruit trees, we should also grasp the dosage and time of pesticide spraying, so as to avoid affecting the effect of pesticide spraying and drug damage.
