Why does the latest loquat appear early flowering phenomenon

Loquat is a kind of favorite fruit, and it also has high medicinal value. Now the scale of loquat planting continues to expand, so there are more and more problems in planting. With the change of seasonal climate, many growers report that loquat has the phenomenon of early spring. Why? So what does loquat early blossom mean? What are the measures to prevent early blooming? Let's take a look at it next.

1. What is the early flowering phenomenon of loquat?

The normal flowering period of loquat usually lasts from October to January of the following year, and the loquat flowers blooming during this period belong to the normal flowering period. Of course, different loquat varieties, planted in different climatic conditions, its flowering may be earlier or slightly delayed, which is a very normal phenomenon. However, if loquat blossoms before October, then this kind of loquat is called early flowering, and growers are also very worried, because it is very likely that they will not be able to survive the winter normally, then the yield and quality of the coming year will be impaired. Therefore, we should avoid the emergence of early flowers in the planting process.

2. The causes of early flowering.

There are many reasons for early flowering in loquat. First of all, it is caused by natural conditions, followed by man-made replenishment of water and fertilizer in winter and spring, and there is a slight contradiction between the fruits and has not been improved. finally, it is caused by extensive planting methods and unprofessional planting technology. All these are the reasons for the early flowering of loquat, so simply and popularly speaking, the fruiting branches of loquat promote the formation of flower spikes under the condition of high or low temperature, and are forced to enter the flowering stage when the branches and shoots are not fully developed.

3. Measures to prevent early flowering

Now that we know that loquat will blossom early, then we need to prepare for prevention in advance. The first thing is to choose the right varieties according to the local climate to prevent the emergence of early flowers and affect the yield. Secondly, we should be prepared to prevent high and low temperature, avoid early flowering of loquat after harvest, and promote the normal growth of loquat branches and leaves. There is reasonable water and fertilizer management, it is best to carry out root drying and fertilization, to prolong the growth cycle of loquat trees, so as to maintain the tree potential and improve the cold protection ability of loquat trees. There is summer pruning, timely topping and de-budding to achieve the purpose of artificial control, which is also a good way to prevent early blooming. The last is to carry out intensive planting management, and constantly improve their own planting technology.

In fact, the emergence of early flowers in loquat does not have a great impact in itself, because now out-of-season fruit cultivation actually uses this principle. But if we want to have a high yield, when loquat blossoms early, we need to be prepared to survive the winter and improve the pollination fruit setting rate of loquat, otherwise the loss will be considerable.
