The latest common misunderstandings in pruning litchi

Litchi is a fruit that many people like. It can only grow normally and bear fruit under good light conditions. However, if the orchard is closed and the permeability is poor, it will affect the light conditions, and pruning is needed at this time. However, many people will also fall into mistakes when pruning. Let's take a look at the common mistakes of litchi pruning together with Xiaobian.

1, do not pay attention to the degree of pruning

Many fruit growers cut in disorder when pruning, the root does not pay attention to the pruning degree, different regions, varieties of rotation when its pruning degree is completely different, can not according to a standard to prune litchi everywhere. If the pruning is too heavy after harvest, it will cause difficulty in sprouting new shoots, and the number is too small, and it is difficult to cultivate high-quality fruit branches, which will affect the yield; but if the pruning is too light, it will not be able to effectively renew the crown and cultivate high-yield and stable yield trees, which will also affect the yield.

2, do not protect the cut

After pruning, large and small cuts and saws will be left. If they are not treated in time or treated improperly, the moisture of these cuts and saws will be quickly distributed, and it will be difficult to heal and infected by diseases and insect pests. It will also affect the sprouting branches, even dead branches and dead trees, increase the difficulty and cost of cultivation and management, and also affect the growth of litchi trees and the yield of the coming year.

3. The cut is uneven

When retracting the fruiting branches, improper operation of pruning tools or direct breaking of branches by hand will cause shearing tears, increase wound density and cause healing difficulty escalation. In addition, uneven water distribution will be faster, easy to appear stem retraction, but also vulnerable to diseases and insect pests, seriously affecting the number and quality of new shoots near the cut.

Neglecting the protection of tree trunks

After re-cutting, the trunk of litchi is directly exposed to sunlight, which is easy to cause bark burn and crack, seriously affecting tree vigor, and the dried branches will be harmed by diseases and insect pests, which not only affects new shoots, but also is not conducive to trunk renewal. After re-cutting, it is necessary to strengthen management. If the sun is too large, it is necessary to apply healing agent to the cut mouth to promote healing. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen fertilizer and water management to promote more germination of new branches.
