Cultivation techniques of "forest cream" avocado

Avocado, also known as avocado, avocado, is a fruit respected by fitness enthusiasts, it is rich in protein and fatty acids, in addition to the characteristics of low fat and high protein, avocado soft waxy taste is also one of the favorite reasons. The market price of avocado is high, which can be regarded as medium-and high-grade fruit, which means that planting avocado has good economic benefits. The following is to introduce the cultivation techniques of avocado, which is known as "forest cream".

1. Growth habits of avocado

Avocados like sunny, long-sunshine growth environment, like warm and humid climate. Avocados are not hardy, but there are some hardy varieties, such as Mexican avocados, which can withstand 0 degrees Celsius. The avocado plant has shallow roots, fragile branches and is not resistant to strong winds, which will reduce the yield of avocados. Avocado is not tolerant to low temperature, and the persistence of low temperature will lead to the drying and death of avocado plants.

Avocado has no requirement for soil conditions and has strong adaptability to soil. The largest avocado production in the world is in California in the United States. in addition, avocados are grown in the tropics and subtropics, as well as a small amount in Guangdong and Hainan in China.

2. Cultivation techniques of avocado

1. Colonization

The seedlings of avocado should be planted at a distance of 50 cm to 60 cm, and the row spacing should be maintained from 5 m to 6 m. Grafted avocado seedlings take 3 to 4 years to blossom and bear fruit, while avocado seedlings take 4 to 6 years to blossom and bear fruit.

two。 Overlay

Avocados are originally grown in tropical rain forests, and high temperatures and high humidity can promote the rapid growth of avocados. On the contrary, if the required temperature and humidity are not reached, the avocado plant will grow slowly.

In the process of planting avocado, we should pay attention to growing more grass or planting green manure nearby at the early stage of seedling growth, and cover a large amount around the root system to maintain temperature. The growth environment of tropical rain forest is simulated by covering multi-layer organic matter. Root mulching can also maintain the soil moisture of the root system and keep the soil moist.

3. Fertilizer application

Avocado likes fertilizer, applying conventional nitrogen fertilizer at least 4 times a year. Adult fruit trees should apply organic fertilizer 50kg and compound fertilizer 50g per tree in the young fruit stage. The amount of fertilizer applied to fruit trees after harvest is doubled.

4. Draining water

Avocado is evergreen all year round and is very sensitive to the dryness of the soil, so it is necessary to keep the root soil moist in the four seasons. Once the lack of water causes the soil to dry, it will lead to the weakening of avocado growth and the occurrence of falling fruit and leaves. In the process of growing avocados, it is very important to maintain soil moisture.

Irrigation should be just right, and if it is too wet, it will cause avocado roots to become wet, soft and even rot, so special attention should be paid to drainage during the rainy season, and more attention should be paid to flat orchards.

The above is a brief introduction of avocado cultivation techniques, avocado planting conditions are best selected in the tropics, we should pay full attention to soil water content, dry time more irrigation, rainy season pay attention to drainage.
