How to grow apricot beard

Planting apricot mustache should be carried out in spring and autumn. Choose fresh apricot mustache and place it in a plastic bag and sprinkle water every three days until the shell is cracked. After cracking, soak it in warm water of 50 degrees for 1-2 hours, remove and dry, sow it in breathable, loose and fertile soil, and cover it with thin soil. Watering, fertilizing, weeding and other work can be done after emergence. After emergence, we should pay attention to the following points.

Key points for attention in seedling stage of apricot

1. Fertilizer and water

Irrigate once before sprouting, after flowering, in autumn and before soil freezing. Irrigation and topdressing can be carried out at the same time. If you encounter a year with a lot of rainfall, you should pay attention to the drainage and waterlogging prevention of apricot orchard. Base fertilizer is given to people before the leaves fall. Topdressing applied human available nitrogen combined with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before sprouting and fruit expansion period; after fruit picking, topdressing mainly applied phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer; after fruit picking, the combination amount of nitrogen fertilizer could be increased appropriately.

two。 Pruning

Young trees are highly dry in shaping and pruning apricot trees, so it is appropriate to adopt the natural happy shape of multi-main branches. Results the early pruned apricot trees can blossom and bear fruit 3 years after planting. The fruiting part moved outward in the middle and later stage of the full fruit stage, and the branches in the lower part of the crown began to be bald, so the main task of pruning in the full fruit period was to adjust the relationship between fruit and growth, keep the tree strong and prolong the full fruit period. In the aging period, the main task of pruning apricot trees is to rejuvenate, renew and re-cultivate fruiting branches.

The specific pruning method is to aggravate the retracted and weak perennial branches, stimulate latent buds to sprout vigorous branches, and choose to cultivate new backbone branches, extended branches and fruiting branches.

3. Pest control

Before the beginning of winter, we should thoroughly remove the weeds on the surface, turn the soil moisture deeply, and carry on the chemical treatment pertinently, and spray the new high-fat film at the same time to enhance the efficacy and thoroughly control the overwintering environment of insect pests. For pest control in different growth periods, chemical control should be carried out according to the requirements of plant protection, and new high-fat membrane should be added to enhance the control effect. It is also necessary to spray tree protection generals regularly to enhance the insect resistance and disease resistance of the plant, so as to ensure its healthy growth.
