How to grow peach trees

Peach tree is a deciduous tree belonging to peach genus of Rosaceae family. It is a subtropical cash crop and likes light and warmth. Its fruit is also one of the most popular fruits, sweet and juicy, rich in nutrients. So, what are the planting methods of peach trees? Let's find out together!

I. Cultivation methods

The planting spacing of peach trees is 4 times 4 meters or 3 times 4 meters, the planting density is 35-55 plants per mu, the planting time can be from autumn to the spring of the next year, and continuous cropping cannot be allowed, otherwise the young trees will grow weak, the leaves will lose green, the new roots will turn brown and branch more.

II. Fertilization methods

Peach planting should be reasonably fertilized. From the whole growth period, the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium requirements of peach trees is about 2∶1∶2. The application of nitrogen fertilizer should be controlled in juvenile stage, otherwise it is easy to cause excessive growth. Increasing nitrogen fertilizer after full fruit stage can increase fruit yield.

① Base fertilizer: base fertilizer should be applied in autumn combined with deep ploughing. Early application of base fertilizer can heal roots quickly and increase the accumulation of nutrients in trees before winter. Spring fertilization should be applied as early as possible, and it should be applied immediately after the land thaws.

(2) Topdressing: pre-flowering fertilizer is applied after thawing in spring, mainly urea, post-flowering fertilizer is mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, fruit-accelerating fertilizer is mainly diammonium fertilizer, post-harvest fertilizer supplements tree consumption, mainly diammonium fertilizer, and a small amount of urea is applied.

III. Pruning branches and leaves

Peach trees like light and warmth, and grow vigorously during the growth period. If you don't pay attention to pruning, it may affect the fruit rate and even lead to strange trees, so you should prune the branches and leaves correctly.

① Young tree period: peach seedlings period growth exuberant, germination and strong branches, pruning to expand the crown, and cultivate strong backbone branches.

② Full fruit period: peach tree pruning in full fruit period is in the middle and lower part of the tree body or fruiting branch group, pay attention to cultivating newer branches from the base, according to the strength of branches to leave 2-5 nodes, strong branches left, weak branches cut off, cut off short fruit branches, leaving long, thick fruit branches.

③ Growth period: peach tree growth season according to the growth potential, thickness, position, etc. to judge the quality and nature of branches, specific to the plant to judge whether to prune, in general to cut off competitive branches, thin branches, dense branches and drooping branches.

IV. Pest control

1. Disease control

Anthracnose, brown rot and bacterial perforation of peach were mainly controlled by 600 times of 50% carbendazim powder, 1000 times of 70% thiophanate-methyl or 700 times of 50% zineb. The disease prevention should be carried out at least twice before bagging peach fruits.

2. Pest control

There are many common pests on peach trees, and different pest control methods are different. Peach borer, thorn moth, leaf roller moth, etc., can be sprayed with 4.5% beta-cypermethrin 1500 times and 2000 times of Lesben for control; for stinkbug, scale insect, pear net bug and other pests, can add beta-cypermethrin 1500 times, 60% dima EC 1500 times; for red spider this pest, can spray 20% saomijing wettable powder (chlorpyrifos, fenacidin)1500-2000 times solution for control.

The above is the planting method of peach trees arranged by soil drift net for you. Peach trees have good economic prospects and strong purchasing power in the market. If conditions are available for planting, you can consider investing in planting.
