Cultivation techniques of lemon

Lemon is rich in vitamin C, as well as resolving phlegm and relieving cough, beauty whitening and other effects, which are sought after and loved by the majority of women. And lemon is widely used, can be eaten directly, can also be used for cooking and cosmetics, the market scale is still very large, the planting benefit is very good. Let's take a look at lemon cultivation techniques.

I. sowing and raising seedlings

There are many ways of raising seedlings of lemon, and the way of sowing is more suitable for cultivating seedlings in a large area, and the speed is relatively fast. We select the mother plant that grows well and has no disease, wait until December or so, which is suitable for picking ripe lemon, then put it in a relatively cool area for a few days, open the fruit, and pay attention to not harming the seeds inside. After taking out the seeds, soak them in clean water for about 6 days, let the moisture inside the seeds become saturated, then tear off the skin of the seeds and sow them. In addition, when the seeds are soaked, we have to change the water every day. After sowing the seeds, we keep the temperature in the field between 15 °and 24 °, and the seeds will germinate in about 7 days.

II. Selection and consolidation of land

Lemon is a warm plant, it is more like the warm environment, it is not resistant to the cold environment, but also afraid of heat, so lemon is more suitable for planting in the south, its growth is very fast, so the demand for soil fertility is relatively high, so when we choose planting land, we should choose land with fluffy soil, good fertility and good drainage performance to plant. After selecting the land, it is necessary to plough and whiten the soil, and then dig holes according to 75*75cm. The planting amount of one mu of land is about 55 plants. It is necessary to put fertilizer and soil into the hole evenly, and then cover it with a layer of soil, so that you can carry out the work of planting.

III. Colonization

Wait until the young tree grows to the 75cm or so, take the soil of the root together when planting, be careful not to let the root of the seedling be hurt, then put the seedling vertically into the hole, and then spread the root to fill the soil. After the filling is completed, the soil should be gently stepped on and leveled. We should choose the time of planting in the afternoon or morning, or on a cloudy day, not on a rainy day or noon, after the planting is finished. we should irrigate the roots of the seedlings, and then use straw or film to maintain humidity.

IV. Field management

Lemon tree grows very fast, so it needs more fertilizer and water. when watering, we should replenish water according to soil wettability and weather conditions. in the first two years of lemon tree planting, it is necessary to add nitrogen fertilizer in time to make the plant grow faster and better, so that the crown can be formed very quickly. after the crown is formed, we have to adjust the use of nitrogen fertilizer. To increase the use of other fertilizers. In addition, we have to carry out more timely soil ploughing and weeding work, usually about four times a year. What we should pay attention to is that when it is hotter in summer, water evaporates more quickly. Therefore, we should carry out timely mid-ploughing before summer to keep the soil fluffy and reduce water loss.

Lemon planting prospect is considerable, but also very easy to manage, but lemon trees are only suitable for growing in a warm and humid environment, the planting area is relatively small, must be planted according to local conditions.
