How to plant the latest dragon fruit? Introduction to the course of planting techniques and methods of dragon fruit

Fire dragon fruit is a very common and popular fruit in our life. The dragon fruit has high nutritional value and good taste, so it has a very large market demand. Now the market demand for dragon fruit is also on the rise, so the planting area and output are in urgent need of improvement. So how to grow dragon fruit? The following editor brings you the planting technology of dragon fruit, let's have a look!

1. Seedling stage management

To plant dragon fruit, we should first choose a good seedling bed, where the seedling bed should be located in a place with good ventilation, adequate light, fertile soil and normal drainage and irrigation. Then the soil was made into a fine bed, and sufficient farm manure was applied as base fertilizer, and the amount of fertilizer per mu was kept at about 1800kg. Mix it well with the soil, and then apply an appropriate amount of calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer into the topsoil layer. Then control the row spacing and plant the seedlings into the seedling bed, watering and spraying. About half a month to apply 6kg or so compound fertilizer, after the seedlings grow the first stem meat can be planted out of the nursery.

2. Scientific fertilization

The harvest time of dragon fruit is relatively long, basically applying organic fertilizer once a year to balance the proportion of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. After entering the flowering stage of dragon fruit, we should pay attention to increase the proportion of potassium and magnesium fertilizer, increase the accumulation of sugar in the fruit and improve the fruit quality. In the young tree stage, nitrogen fertilizer should be the main fertilizer, and a small amount should be applied as the principle to promote the growth of dragon fruit. The fertilization of adult trees for more than 3 years should be based on phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and should not be applied too much nitrogen fertilizer to avoid overgrowth. The annual fertilization time should be carried out at the time of shoot germination and fruit expansion, so as to provide sufficient growth nutrition for dragon fruit.

3. Rational watering

Dragon fruit likes to grow in a warm and humid environment and make sure it has plenty of light. In the young stage of dragon fruit, we should pay attention to keep the soil moist and provide sufficient water for the growth of seedlings. In spring and summer, we should pay attention to watering a lot to ensure the growth of the roots. Then it is necessary to keep the soil moist and promote the growth of the fruit during the fruit expansion period. When watering, you should be careful not to let it be immersed for a long time, otherwise it will easily lead to lack of oxygen in the root, and it should be drained in time on cloudy and rainy days.

4. Field management

When the dragon fruit branches reach about 130 cm, they should carry out coring work to promote branching. When planting dragon fruit, it is best to plant some white meat types of dragon fruit, so that the two varieties can pollinate each other, which can significantly improve the seed setting rate. If you encounter cloudy and rainy weather, it is necessary to do a good job of artificial pollination to improve the success rate of pollination. Then after the fruit is harvested every year, we should pay attention to pruning, cut off some excessive branches, promote the extraction of new branches, and ensure the yield of the following year.

The above is a brief introduction of dragon fruit planting technology. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can be helpful to all of you.
