Key points of cultivation techniques of apricot

Apricot trees can grow for up to a hundred years under fine management. Apricot trees are adaptable and easy to grow. The efficient cultivation and management techniques of apricot trees are shared as follows:

I. apricot planting period

It is divided into autumn planting and spring planting. However, the northeast, northwest and northern North China should be planted in spring because of the short frost-free period and cold winter.

2. Digging fixed planting holes

The size of the hole is generally 80cm × 80cm × 80cm. The topsoil and the subsoil are placed on both sides. When backfilling, the bottom is filled with 20-30cm thick straw or fallen leaves of weeds, and then the topsoil is backfilled. When half of the hole is filled, the organic fertilizer (50kg per plant) is mixed with the soil, and when it is about 30cm from the ground, the pit is firmly or watered to make the soil firm, cover with a layer of topsoil, and backfill the rest when planting trees.

3. Seedling preparation

The first-class strong seedlings with well-developed roots were selected to prune the roots. Seedlings purchased from other places should be soaked in water and soaked in enough water before planting.

IV. Colonization

Put the seedling in the middle of the planting hole, align it to the left and right, raise the seedling upward for 1 / 3 of the soil, make the root system stretch down naturally, pay attention to the interface slightly higher than the ground, stabilize the soil, re-cultivate the soil flat with the surface, and step on it.
