The latest measures to protect flowers and fruits of citrus

Citrus is a kind of fruit that everyone likes to eat, there are many varieties of citrus, such as sugar orange, mandarin, etc., the market demand in our country is very large, and also have a certain planting area. However, the phenomenon of falling flowers and fruits of citrus is quite serious, so we must take measures to protect flowers and fruits when we plant oranges. So how exactly should we do it? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Fertilizing and spraying

When we plant citrus, we should pay attention to fertilizing and spraying, in order to promote the ripening of spring shoots and enhance the growth of citrus trees. Reasonable nutrition ratio can effectively reduce the phenomenon of citrus falling flowers and fruits. In general, major citrus trees are sprayed with foliar fertilizer rich in trace elements before flowering. Then we should pay attention to the reasonable spraying of flower and fruit protection agent, which can obviously improve the quality of flower buds and achieve the purpose of flower and fruit protection.

2. Water management

Water is very important to the growth of citrus. An appropriate amount of water can ensure the growth of citrus, increase the yield and enhance the fruit quality. When we plant the fruit, we should keep the soil moist, which can significantly improve the stress resistance of the citrus fruit-bearing mother branch. Attention should be paid to keeping it dry and wet properly to prevent excessive moisture from causing rotten roots and causing citrus trees to fall flowers and fruits. However, in the case of dry weather, we should also pay attention to watering to ensure that the water is within the suitable range of citrus growth.

3. Ring cutting to protect fruit

Reasonable ring-cutting of citrus trees is the main measure to protect fruit. When planting, we should do ring-cutting work on some strong trees. The first ring cutting is usually carried out when the physiological fruit drop occurs. Cut the trunk ring of the citrus tree once, and then cut it again according to the growth of the citrus tree and the number of fruits when it falls the second time. Can effectively improve the citrus fruit setting rate, in the ring cutting should be careful not to hurt the xylem, and not to the old trees, weak trees for ring cutting.

4. Scientific pruning

The nutritional contradiction between shoot branches and fruit branches often occurs in the growth process of citrus trees. Therefore, we should pay attention to do a good job of pruning spring shoots, and the main object of pruning is to grow branches. After pruning the spring shoots, we should also pay attention to the heart-picking work. When the spring shoot grows to about 15 centimeters, it is the best time to pick the heart. Then when the summer shoot grows to 4 centimeters, cut it all and pick the buds. To prevent excessive nutrition consumption, resulting in insufficient nutrition and fruit drop phenomenon, the nutrition will be concentrated on the fruit, do a good job of flower and fruit protection measures.

The above is a brief introduction to the measures to protect flowers and fruits of citrus. When we plant, we also need to ensure sufficient light, improve the permeability of the orchard, enhance the light, and promote the normal growth of citrus. That's all for today's introduction.
