How much is the loquat seed per jin? How many years will it bear fruit? How do you plant it? (with pot method)

Loquat alias Reed orange, golden pill, Reed twig, Rosaceae, loquat plants, widely cultivated everywhere. So how much is its seed per jin? How many years will it bear fruit after planting? How do you plant it? It is learned from the seed management station of Yuhang District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang that the price of loquat seeds is generally about 20-30 yuan per jin, which can be bought at the local agricultural market. Loquat usually sprouts in 7-10 days.

How many years can the planted loquat seeds bear fruit?

Loquat trees, regardless of male or female, generally take three years for self-sowing, transplanting, grafting and planting. After four years of fruit, grafted seedlings blossom and bear fruit more easily than real seedlings. If the seeds are planted, it will take a long time, at least 5 years, and grafted seedlings generally take more than 3 years to blossom and bear fruit.

How to plant loquat seeds?

Selection of Seedling bed of one Loquat seed

The nursery should choose sandy soil with overcast and leeward, loose soil, rich in organic matter, medium fertility, good fertilizer and water retention. Half a month before sowing (early and middle May), appropriate amount of mature compost, soil manure, pig manure or 50 kg compound fertilizer per mu were applied as base fertilizer. Then the soil is ploughed and raked fine and leveled to make a border, with a width of 1.2 meters and a furrow of 30 centimeters. Where there are underground pests, carbofuran should be used to disinfect the soil before soil preparation to kill underground pests.

Seed selection of No.2 Loquat

Loquat seeds have no dormancy period. Loquat kernels should be screened before sowing, and small and abnormal loquat seeds should be removed. Large and full loquat seeds can be sown after washing and drying.

Three loquat seed sowing

The sowing time is from late May to early June. There are two sowing methods: sowing or strip sowing (generally using strip sowing). The row spacing of strip sowing is 20-25 cm and the plant spacing is 10-12 cm. Depending on the germination rate of seeds, 1-3 seeds are sown in each hole and pressed gently when sowing. Half of the seeds are pressed into the soil and sprinkled with a thin layer of fine ash soil to see the loquat seeds. If the sowing is too deep to be unearthed, it will also cause mildew and rot, and if it is too shallow, it will not take root. Immediately after sowing, water should be used to pour through the seedling bed and cover the soil surface with moisturizing materials such as rice straw or fresh pigpen grass, so as to keep the soil surface unhardened and conducive to seedling emergence.

Post-sowing Management of four Loquat Seeds

Before the seedling is unearthed, the seedling bed should maintain a certain degree of humidity, do not be too dry and too wet, and uncover the grass after emergence. Because loquat seedlings like shade, the leaves are easy to burn when exposed to strong sunlight. Therefore, before emergence after sowing, it is necessary to use a sunshade net to build a shade shed, which is 50-60 cm high. After completing the seedlings, remove the weak seedlings, overdense seedlings and diseased seedlings in time, and leave a strong seedling according to the distance between the plants. When the seedlings grow 3-4 true leaves, thin human feces and urine or compound fertilizer can be applied every half a month, and weeds can be removed in time. When the seedling height reaches 20 cm, remove the top 1-2 young leaves, promote the lower stem thickening, and do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests at the same time. The sunshade net was removed at the end of August and early September. In the spring of the second year, the rootstock seedlings can be grafted when the diameter is more than 0.6 cm, and the transplantable seedlings that are not up to the standard can be recultivated and managed to be grafted the following year.

Attached: pot planting method of loquat seeds

1. Collect the seeds after eating loquat and blow-dry them. Do not expose yourself to the sun. Try to peel off the skin after air-drying.

2. Small plastic flowerpots. Pay attention to the bottom must have an air hole, you can run water, choose a small grid do not cut a good pad at the bottom of the flowerpot.

3. Pour the crushed soil, about 4CM thick, then put the loquat seeds on top of the soil, 4-6.

4. Then cover the soil, which is about 5mm thick, so that you can cover the seeds. After covering the soil, water the right amount.

5. Put the flowerpot in the shade of the tree, there is sunshine and water, and the seedlings will emerge in about 2 weeks. It will take less than 2 months to grow into a big seedling. Look at what I planted. It looks pretty. When the saplings grow up a little bit, they can be transplanted to the ground.
