What are the planting time, conditions and techniques of peach? Is it suitable to grow peaches in the north?

Honey peach is a kind of fruit suitable for canned processing, with yellowish skin, soft flesh, slightly acidic taste, more juice and resistance to storage, and has developed rapidly in recent years. So what are the planting time, conditions and techniques of peaches? Is it suitable to grow peaches in the north?

What are the planting conditions for peaches? Is it suitable to grow peaches in the north?

1. Planting conditions of peach.

Creating appropriate growth conditions is an important factor to ensure the effect of high-yield cultivation techniques of honey peach. Appropriate growth conditions include creating a suitable growth temperature for the growth of honey peach, for example, the average annual growth temperature of honey peach is between 12 and 17 ℃, and the growth temperature from May to September should be controlled at about 25 ℃. When the natural environment does not meet these conditions, certain human factors should be used to control the temperature in a suitable range to ensure its normal growth.

It is also necessary to ensure the air permeability and drainage of the soil, the weakly acidic sandy soil is the most suitable for the growth of peach; in addition, we should pay attention to the influence of topographical factors on the growth of peach, and the positive gentle slope is the most favorable for the growth of peach. All these can promote the high-yield cultivation techniques of peach to achieve the desired results.

Peaches can be planted in the north

Peaches can be planted in open fields in North China where the lowest winter temperature is not less than 15 degrees below zero (such as Shandong, Henan and other places). Peaches are often planted in areas where the temperature is often lower than this, and cold protection measures should be taken in winter (tree trunk whitening, tree plate cultivation, etc.). In addition, peaches are not resistant to long-distance transportation, so it is best to plant them on the outskirts of the city (or where the transportation is convenient).

Second, the planting time of peaches

1. Planting time: from mid-late October to mid-late January of next year.

2. Planting density: 111 plants (3m × 2m)

3. Planting method: before planting, the planting point was determined according to the planting mode and plant row spacing, and then the planting pits of each 80cm were dug at the planting point. At least 50 kg of garbage or barnyard manure should be applied to each plant. Immediately after planting, irrigate enough root water, and after the water seeps, the soil is flat with the ground.

3. Planting techniques of peach

1. Fertilizer and water management

(1) Sprout fertilizer: applied in the first and middle of February, accounting for 10% of the total amount of fertilizer applied in the whole year, irrigated with quick-acting fertilizer and clean water. If the flower buds are full, only water can be irrigated.

(2) Fruit fertilizer: 30% of the total amount of fertilizer applied in the middle of May. Attention should be paid to the application of potassium sulfate compound fertilizer plus manure water.

(3) Fruit picking fertilizer: after fruit harvest in late August, the amount of fertilizer applied is more than 60%, mainly delayed organic fertilizer, N, P, K urea combined application, the amount of fertilizer per plant should not be less than 1.5 times, promote flower bud differentiation and restore tree potential, which is the most important fertilization in the whole year.

2. Shaping and pruning

The natural happy shape of the peach tree is a low-dry, low-crown, fast-forming and high-yielding tree. Its dry height 30~50cm, the distance between the three main branches 10~15cm. There are 2-3 lateral branches on the outside of each main branch, and all 6-8 lateral branches. This tree shape can solve the problem of less light in the south, increase the light area, and meet the needs of fruit growth and development.

3. Fruit thinning and bagging

Peach tree is a kind of fruit tree with many flowers and fruits, which will inevitably lead to the decline of tree potential and poor fruit quality. in order to ensure the high yield, stable yield and excellent quality of peach trees, in late April, the fruit has been thinned when the small plums are big, the diseased fruit is deformed, the two fruits are removed and one is left, and when the fruit is thinned, it can not keep up with the fruit of the same size.

Bagging can prevent diseases, pests, birds and animals from harming the fruit, reduce the number of times of medication, reduce production costs, prevent mechanical damage, make the fruit surface clean and beautiful, improve fruit quality and edible parts.

Bagging time usually starts after May 1 and ends before May 10. Those who can't cover this time should be sprayed with pesticides one more time, because the middle of May is the spawning peak of peach heart borer.

4. Disease and pest control

After winter pruning, orchards should be cleaned and litter collected and burned. Dig the drain before the rainy season. Drug control is most effective when it is not germinated or when the leaf bud is just green.

5. Fruit harvest

The flavor of peach fruit can only be shown when it is fully ripe on the tree, so it can not be picked early. Canned yellow peaches, raw hard peaches and peaches that need to be transported far away can be harvested during the hard ripening period. Fresh food should be supplied near the producing area when the fruit is pale, milky or light yellow, red or red on the sunny side, the fruit is fully hypertrophic, the peel is peeled off, the pulp solids increase sharply, and the variety is harvested in the mature period of its inherent color and aroma.
