After planting the seedlings, do a good job of fertilization, watering, pruning, prevention and control of diseases and insect pests.

1. Soil: sugar orange has a wide range of adaptation to the soil, but the soil is loose, the structure is good, the content of organic matter is 2%-3%, and the soil with good drainage is the most suitable, with a pH value of 5.5-6.5.

3. Fertilizer and water: young trees are mainly fertilized by nitrogen fertilizer, combined with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, fertilizing 5-6 times in spring, summer and autumn shoots, each time applying 0.4 jin of ammonium bicarbonate or 0.2 jin of urea. Adult trees should apply sprouting fertilizer, fruit protection fertilizer, strong fruit fertilizer and fruit picking fertilizer.

4. Pruning: young trees are mainly light pruning, truncating the elongated branches in the center and the extended branches of the main branches and secondary branches, and cutting off the dense branches. In the initial stage, the extended branches of all levels of backbone were truncated and the summer shoots were erased. In the full fruit stage, the fruiting branch group, the falling flower fruiting branch group and the declining branch group were retracted, and the light-blocking branches, dead branches, disease and insect branches were cut off.
