Apple must be a kind of fruit that many people like to eat very much. Apple is very rich in nutrients. It is also a kind of fruit with a wide planting area in our country. However, when planting, many people will find that the fruit setting rate of apple trees is not very high, and its yield is not very ideal. So how can we improve the fruit setting rate of apples when we plant them? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Fertilizer and water management

In the late stage of apple planting, it is necessary to do a good job in fertilizer and water management to improve the flower bud quality of apple trees. Because the fruit setting rate of apple trees has a lot to do with the quality of flower bud geese. The flower buds of apple trees are closely related to nutrition when they are formed. So if we want to improve the quality of flower buds, then we should maintain a certain degree of nutrition in the early stage of planting. In autumn and winter, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied to promote apple trees to overwinter, and then properly watered to avoid leaf senescence and improve the utilization time of leaf photosynthesis. Increase the accumulation of nutrients in trees, improve the quality of flower buds, and promote apple fruit setting.

2. Thinning flowers and fruits

Thinning flowers and fruits is also very important when planting apple trees. Because the carrying capacity of apple trees is limited, if the amount of flowers and fruits exceeds the bearing range of apple trees, it will consume too much nutrition and aggravate the phenomenon of falling flowers and fruits. Therefore, we need to carry out flower thinning when the inflorescences of apple trees are separated, keeping each inflorescence about 22 cm apart. Remove the weak flowers, top flowers and other flowers, and keep the central flowers. And fruit retention for similar work, the time should not be too late, otherwise it will lose the effect of thinning flowers and fruits.

3. Artificial pollination

Because the natural pollination of apple trees is not very stable, and the success rate is not very high. Therefore, we also need to carry out artificial pollination properly when planting. Artificial pollination is usually carried out on a sunny day, preferably within the day after the apple tree blossoms. Because at this time the style of pollination ability is strong, the success rate is also relatively high. Usually use a brush to pollinate around, and begin to pollinate when the apple tree blossoms in the center. Pollination should be careful, and the trees with more blossoms can control the interval between pollination. The pollination method should be adjusted reasonably according to the growth of apple trees and the distribution of flowers.

4. Pest control

There are many diseases and insect pests in apple trees, such as flower rot and beetles that harm the mosaic of apple trees. All these will seriously affect the fruit setting of apple trees, resulting in a decline in the fruit setting rate of apple trees. Therefore, we must do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, often observe their growth, and achieve early detection and treatment of diseases and insect pests. When abnormal conditions are found, specific diseases and insect pests should be examined in time, and then symptomatic prevention and control should be carried out. Avoid the spread of the disease, expand the affected area, promote the growth of apple trees, and improve the fruit setting rate.

The above is a brief introduction to how to improve the fruit setting rate of apples. In fact, there are flowering bees, pruning and so on can effectively improve its fruit setting rate and ensure planting benefits, so we should also strengthen management, do a good job in basic work, and protect our own planting benefits. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
