How much is the price of dragon fruit seedlings? What are the technical points when planting?

Dragon fruit is also known as red dragon fruit, dragon bead fruit, immortal honey fruit, although the planting area of dragon fruit has expanded in recent years, but the market gap is still huge, the price is rising year by year, the development prospect is very broad, the promotion and planting prospect is good. So how much is the price of dragon fruit seedlings? What are the technical points when planting?

First, how much is the price of dragon fruit seedlings?

The prices of different varieties of dragon fruit seedlings are different, generally ranging from 5 yuan to 20 yuan per plant, and the cost of dragon fruit seedlings per mu is about 20,000 yuan. When planting, the roots of dragon fruit seedlings are evenly distributed in the planting pit, and the soil is covered with about 3~5cm compaction, and then the dragon fruit seedlings are bound to the inside of the thin bamboo pole with thin cloth strips for their climbing and growth.

Second, what are the technical points when planting dragon fruit?

1. Growth environment requirements of dragon fruit.

Pitaya belongs to tropical and subtropical fruit, which is resistant to drought, high temperature and light. It can be planted on flat land, hillside and sandy land, and the optimum soil pH value is 6-7.5. It is best to choose land with rich organic matter and good drainage. The dragon fruit is not resistant to frost and cold injury, and it is generally not suitable to be planted in areas where the winter temperature is lower than 8 degrees for a long time.

2. Reasonable selection of planting methods.

There are many ways to grow dragon fruit: Wall planting, bridge planting and shed planting, among which column planting is the most common. The so-called column type is to set up a cement column or wooden column and plant 3 or 4 dragon fruit plants around the column to let the dragon fruit plant grow upward along the cement column. Planting dragon fruit with cement column is the simplest, economical, durable, the highest land utilization rate and the most convenient management method.

3. Do a good job in land preparation and planting

Garden requires sufficient sunshine, well-drained sandy loam, loam, you can choose cultivated land or sunny sloping land. According to the cement column row to open the ditch to make the border, the border surface width is 1.52m, the drainage and irrigation ditch and the working road width is 0.5m, combined with the soil preparation and burying farm manure 300kg to 500kg for soil improvement. Four seedlings were planted under the foot of a cement column, planted in four directions close to the foot of the cement column, and the roots were buried 3cm to 5cm, then tied the seedlings to the cement column with a rope.

The suitable planting density is 2m × 2m row spacing, that is, 166pillars are planted per 667m2, 3 seedlings are planted around each column, and 498seedlings are needed per 667m2.

4. Fertilizer and water management

The fertilizer and water of dragon fruit is mainly nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other organic fertilizer, with thin fertilizer. The flower and fruit stage of dragon fruit is from April to December. Pitaya root distribution is relatively shallow, fertilizer applied in the root distribution layer of fruit trees in order to give play to the maximum effect of fertilizer, the main method of sprinkling, should be a small number of times, be careful not to damage the root system.

Compound fertilizer can be applied once every 8 to 12 days, and the time interval and amount can be determined according to the number of flowers and fruits and tree potential. 0.2~0.4kg can be applied to each column with more flowers and fruits, and attention should be paid to the application of potassium and magnesium fertilizer to meet the development of flowers and fruits and improve the quality. Organic fertilizer was applied once every 2 months, and soybean cake powder 1.0kg or chicken manure 5~6kg was applied to each column, of which 0.05kg borax could be added twice.

5. Pest control

There are few diseases and insect pests in dragon fruit, and the disease is mainly stem rot. If continuous overcast and rainy weather occurs, partial branch necrosis and mildew spots appear, it can be sprayed with 800 times chlorothalonil, methyl thiophanate or trimethoprim solution, and the effect is good. Insect pests are mainly ants, snails and fruit flies, ants can be poisoned with sugar and trichlorfon: the best way to control snails is to kill them artificially, or to spread Mida poison around dragon fruit trees: fruit flies are trapped.
