When does loquat usually mature and come on the market? What are the planting management techniques?

There is a kind of fruit called loquat because its leaves are shaped like a musical instrument pipa. The fresh leaves of the fruit can make loquat paste. It is planted in most parts of our country. When will the loquat be matured and put on the market? What are the planting management techniques?

I. the basic situation of loquat

1. Loquat is a small evergreen tree native to southeastern China, also known as Reed orange, Reed twig, golden pill, Yan Guo, Jiaozi and so on. It is also planted in Japan, India, Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia and other regions.

two。 Loquat trees usually have a height of three to five meters, the leaves are large and long, and the leaves are thick and fluffy, with bright dark green on the front and gray-brown with villi on the back; white flowers bloom from October to December every year, and white or orange globular or oblong fruits are produced in May and June of the following year.

3. Loquat leaves can be used to make loquat paste (old leaves, new leaves are poisonous), loquat fruit taste sweet fresh food, in addition to fresh loquat fruit into canned, brewing loquat wine is a very good choice.

Second, when does loquat usually mature and come on the market?

Loquat generally matures in May and June, but because of the vast territory of our country across a large latitude, so the time of listing of loquat in different regions is also slightly different.

1. Loquat listed in March: Yunxiao Loquat in Fujian and Mengzi Loquat in Yunnan

two。 Loquat listed in April: Putian loquat in Fujian and Longquan loquat in Sichuan

3. Loquat listed in May: Jiangsu Dongting loquat, Anhui Santan loquat, Zhejiang Tangqi loquat, Shanghai Qingpu loquat

4. In addition, a large number of "Baiyu" Baisha loquat were put on the market on May 20, and the late-maturing variety "Guanyu" Baisha loquat matured after June 5.

The above is the main production of loquat area loquat mature on the market about time, like to eat friends can not miss the fresh market oh.

Third, what are the planting and management techniques of loquat?

There are more than 300 loquat varieties in China, so when planting loquat, we should choose according to the local soil, climate and environment.

1. Loquat planting is best to choose flat, deep, loose and fertile soil, rich in organic matter over the years to cultivate high-yield dry land, soil pH6.0 is the most suitable, near the planting site should have irrigation water, because to ensure that the orchard can be irrigated from November of each year to May of the following year. In addition, the planting place should also be convenient for transportation and transportation, and it is not suitable to choose land with low and flat terrain that is easy to accumulate water.

two。 The purchase of loquat seedlings must choose professional and formal, legal compliance documents and procedures of the seedling base or company. The choice of seedlings is that Tianyuan has developed roots, thick leaves, good growth, and a length of 30 to 40 centimeters.

3. The distance of planting seedlings should be controlled at about two to 2.5 meters, which is beneficial to the growth in the later stage. The potholes planted should be dug as deep as possible. After planting, the seedlings should be righted and then covered with soil.

4. When planting loquat seedlings, they can be watered twice a week. After surviving and forming, there is no need to water it on purpose. Fertilization must be applied one week after fruit harvest and irrigated in time, which is beneficial to root absorption of nutrients and promotion of summer shoot germination. The seedlings after planting should be fertilized three times a year. In spring, farm manure and nitrogen fertilizer can be used in the sprouting stage of loquat trees. In summer, when loquat trees grow vigorously, they can be fertilized with phosphate fertilizer combined with manure. In late autumn, some farm manure can be used to ensure that loquat trees have adequate nutrition during the winter. In addition, loquat growers with irrigation conditions are suitable and should be planted in February and March. Those without irrigation should be planted in mid-June (early rainy season).

5. The pruning of loquat trees can be carried out in spring, summer and autumn, spring pruning before new shoots, summer pruning after fruit harvest, and autumn pruning at the beginning of flower buds.

6. In the growth process of loquat, attention should be paid to the invasion of diseases and insect pests such as gall mite, yellow caterpillar and leaf spot, and it is best to take control measures in advance. If diseased branches and leaves are found, they should be sprayed in time, or removed in time.

Finally, I would like to remind you that when using pesticides to control diseases and insect pests, we should avoid the ripening period to prevent pesticide pollution. The above is about some planting management techniques of loquat, hoping to help the majority of growers.
