Master the four key planting techniques of figs, "honey fruit" hanging all over the branches!

Figs have a high sugar content, so they are also called "honey fruit". Compared with other fruits, figs are easier to take care of, so what are the planting techniques of figs? Below, I would like to share with you the four main planting techniques of figs.

I. planting of figs

Can be potted or cultivated in barren slopes, pastorals and courtyards. When cultivated on barren slopes, pastorals and courtyards, the planting density can be increased by 1 × 2 meters, and the depth of single pit is 50ml / 70cm. With a diameter of 40m and 60cm, mixed fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium (such as human and animal manure, poultry manure, green manure, cake fertilizer, chemical compound fertilizer) are used as base fertilizers. The suitable time for planting should be around Qingming in North China, around Grain Rain in the Northeast, and transplanting in the south after defoliation in autumn, but the flowering and fruiting period should be avoided.

II. Shaping and pruning of figs

The shaping and pruning of figs is relatively simple, and the technical requirements of pruning and shaping are not high. Generally, the way of natural happy pruning of multiple main branches is adopted, but 5 main branches of the whole plant are retained, no lateral branches are left, and the main branch group is directly planted on the main branch. During the period of young trees, we should focus on cultivating the main branches, and pay attention to raising the angle of the main branches to promote multiple branches so as to achieve the purpose of rapidly expanding the crown.

After entering the initial fruit stage, grasp the multi-culture branch group, in order to promote the formation of a certain yield. In the full fruit period, we should pay attention to cultivate the backbone branches and renew the large and medium-sized branch groups to cut the weak branches. If the tree is old or the diseases and insect pests are serious, the main branches and branch groups can be re-cultured by using the sprouting tillering branches or hidden buds on the base or branches. Figs begin in mid-July and mature one after another in November. The picking of figs should generally be carried out in the morning or evening on a sunny day, when there is a small hole at the top of the ripe fruit, and when the pericarp appears the color of inherent varieties (multi-red and yellow varieties), pick. Overripe fruits are not resistant to storage and transportation after harvest.

III. Fertilizer and water management of figs

During the growing period of young fig trees, fertilizers should be applied if the base fertilizer is insufficient.

The method is that about 40 cm away from the main root, about 5 kg of rotten miscellaneous fertilizer is applied to the plant, and at least 1 kg is applied to the pot. About 15 kg of mature farm manure was applied to adult trees, and basal fertilizer was applied before and after defoliation. Topdressing should be in the period of vigorous shoot growth and rapid fruit expansion. Fig is a more fertilizer-tolerant fruit tree, but more emphasis should be placed on the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. in general, the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is 0.5 to 1. Because it is more resistant to drought and waterlogging, it requires more water during the period of shoot growth and fruit expansion, but the environment with long-term soiling or heavy water accumulation is easy to cause flower drop, fruit drop, leaf drop, and even death, so we should also pay attention to waterlogging drainage.

Potted plants should also pay attention to drainage, especially in the rainy season after heavy rain or heavy rain, pay attention to cover the rain or pour the basin to control water.

IV. Disease and pest control of figs

Figs are less prone to diseases and insect pests. During the fruit growing period, sending a special smell around is easy to cause harm to mulberry cattle, and the fruit is vulnerable to birds when it is ripe. In addition to artificially catching mulberry cattle and driving away birds, insect eggs can be artificially or medically killed. Scarecrow-bound plastic strips can also be inserted into the field to drive away birds.
