At present, it is being planted in many areas. How much is the market price of sand fruit? What are the planting methods?

First, the sand fruit introduction:

1. What is sand fruit?

Sand fruit is a small deciduous tree of the genus Malus of Rosaceae, with oval or ovate leaves, serrated edges, tomentose pedicels and calyx, reddish color during flowering, yellow or red fruit with a diameter of 4 cm to 5 cm.

2. Where do sand fruits come from?

Sand fruits are mainly produced in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins, including Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Hubei, Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, Xinjiang and other places.

For example, when you go to a rich place to buy, you can buy a jin for about 3 yuan, and the more you buy, the cheaper it is, but not much cheaper, but if you buy it in an area with less output, the market price is more expensive, which can reach more than 10 yuan per jin. So try to go to the local market when shopping.

Third, what are the planting methods of sand fruit?

1. Land selection and preparation: which land is suitable for planting?

Sand fruit likes to grow in slightly saline-alkali soil with loose, fertile and nutrient-rich soil, so when selecting land, try to plant it in sunny hillside or plain area. After selecting the land, it is necessary to turn the soil deeply, and make caves with wide 90cm and high 80cm, and field beds with row spacing of 6m to 9m and plant spacing of 2m to facilitate planting in the later stage. After digging the cave, apply an appropriate amount of base fertilizer, and then sprinkle a thin layer of soil.

2. Seed and seedling selection: which seedling should be chosen?

There are many varieties of sand fruit, and Huang Taiping, Daqiu, Lingli, K9 and 123 are the better varieties at present, so when selecting seedlings, one of them can be selected, of course, they can also be mixed. When selecting seedlings, try to select seedlings whose height is about 90~120cm, root system is developed, no damage, no disease.

3. Planting: how many plants are planted per mu?

(1) planting method: straighten out the roots of the selected seedlings, then plant them in the cave and cover the soil slowly.

(2) planting density: in general, more than 40 seedlings per mu can be planted, and if the crown is small, about 80 seedlings can be planted per mu, depending on the size of the crown and topography.

4. Field management technology: how to manage it?

(1) soil change requirements: after the seedlings are planted, they usually dig holes around the trees every other year, and then change the soil and apply appropriate amount of soil fertilizer and farm manure.

(2) pruning and shaping: after the sand fruit tree grows for a period of time, there will be dwarf branches, dense branches, diseased branches and other branches that are not conducive to the growth of the tree, so these branches should be cut off according to the situation of the tree to improve the air permeability.

(3) Water requirement: in May, a layer of withered straw or rice straw should be spread around the tree, and then irrigate an appropriate amount of water.

(4) Fertilizer requirements: sand fruit trees do not have high requirements for fertilizer, and the general amount of fertilizer application is carried out according to the growth of the tree potential. Among them, nitrogen fertilizer was mainly used in young tree stage, and foliar fertilizer was mainly used in budding stage, flowering stage, fruit stage and after fruit harvest.

(5) Pest control: during the growth of sand fruit trees, there will be floating dust, caterpillars, caterpillars, moths and other insect pests, so it is necessary to take good control measures, and the damaged plants can be sprayed with omethoate or trichlorfon.

Generally speaking, the price of sand fruit is not expensive, generally 3-10 yuan can buy a jin, but due to different origin and market, the price will be different, so try to go to the local market when buying.
