Planting techniques of Ziziphus jujuba

Big green jujube is not only crisp and delicious, but also its stems, branches, flowers, and even leaves and bark have high utilization value, so it is an excellent fruit variety with great development prospects. So, what is the planting technology of Ziziphus jujuba?

1. Land selection and preparation

Green jujube is suitable to grow in the weak acidic to slightly alkaline environment with deep, loose and fertile soil and good drainage, so try to choose weak acidic to slightly alkaline loam or sandy loam for planting.

After selecting the site, turn the soil deeply and dig a cave 2 meters wide and 1 meters deep according to the plant spacing of 6 meters and row spacing of 5 meters, then apply 15 kilograms of rotten livestock fertilizer, 0.5 kilograms of phosphate fertilizer and 1 kilogram of gluten fertilizer, and mix evenly for subsequent planting.

2. Rational planting

The seedlings were planted according to the density of 6 meters between plants and 5 meters between rows. When planting, more nutritious jujube seedlings with intact root protection should be selected. In the process of planting, the nutrition bag of the fruit seedling was gently removed, and then the main root of the bag was cut flat and planted in the planting hole. Then irrigate enough fixed root water, and after the seedlings germinated, they began to apply 0.5 kg of organic fertilizer in Puquan.

3. Field management

Fertilizer requirements: green jujube has higher requirements for fertilizer, generally young tree stage is mainly nitrogen fertilizer, fruit stage is mainly potassium fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer, and fertilization, as far as possible according to the fertility of basin soil to determine the amount of fertilizer.

Water requirements: green jujube has higher water requirements, generally higher water demand in the growing period of branches and leaves, properly reduce watering in the early stage of flowering and early fruiting, and then water when the fruit grows to the size of the thumb.

Pruning and shaping: green jujube grows a lot of branches and dwarf branches after growing for a period of time. At this time, these branches should be cut off according to the growth of the tree, so as to improve the air permeability between the garden and reduce the occurrence of diseases and insect pests.

Thinning flowers and fruits: green jujube will grow a lot of flowers after flowering. At this time, the excess flowers and fruits should be removed according to the degree of density, so as to improve the fruit setting rate.

Pest control: during the growth of green jujube, scale insects, fruit flies and other diseases and insect pests will grow, so prevention and control measures should be taken in advance. Special pesticides such as trichlorfon or Lesbon can be used to control pests.

Big green jujube is a good fruit to grow. As long as we pay attention to the basic management work such as water and fertilizer, pest control and pruning, we can achieve a good harvest.
