What if the latest dragon fruit is not sweet?

I believe everyone has eaten dragon fruit. It has full juice and sweet taste. In the market because of its unique appearance to attract people's attention, but many growers have a situation, to the fruit harvest, found that the fruit is not sweet, which affects the taste of dragon fruit, will reduce economic benefits. So what is the cause of the unsweetness of dragon fruit? What should we do about it? Let's take a look at the detailed introduction.

1. Variety reasons

There are many varieties of dragon fruit, different varieties have different sugar content, some varieties have high sugar content, and some varieties have low sugar content, so there will be various varieties of sweetness is not sweet, not sweet may choose the variety with low sugar content.

Solution: for this situation, the selection of seeds should be extremely careful. If you want to plant dragon fruits with high sweetness, you should choose varieties with high sugar content.

2. The influence of growth environment

Generally speaking, whether the soil is nutritious or not and climate reasons will affect the growth of dragon fruit. The lack of a certain element in the soil will lead to the condition of fruit trees, in which potassium is the element that controls the sugar content of dragon fruit. Potassium can promote the formation and transport of sugar. In addition, light, temperature difference and rainfall all affect the sugar accumulation of dragon fruit, especially the temperature difference between day and night, which is closely related to the sugar accumulation of dragon fruit.

Solution: when planting, it is appropriate to choose loose and fertile soil with good drainage, and apply base fertilizer before planting to ensure that the plant has sufficient nutrients for growth and development. In the management, attention should be paid to the regulation of temperature and moisture, and during fruit development, the temperature difference between day and night should be opened as far as possible to make the fruit accumulate more sugar and improve sweetness.

3. Tree health

The sweetness of the fruit is closely related to the health status of the green parts of the plant. when the plant grows, the stronger the photosynthesis of its green part is, the synthetic nutrients survive the winter, and the fruit has sufficient nutrients to grow, its quality will be higher and higher, so the sweetness will be higher and higher.

Solution: reasonable flower thinning and fruit thinning can control the hanging amount of dragon fruit, at the same time, it can also make the tree have good permeability, enhance the light conditions, improve the photosynthesis of green parts, and synthesize more nutrients. At the same time, we should do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, enhance the proportion of high-efficiency branches, improve photosynthesis, increase the accumulation of dry matter, and improve sweetness.

The above is the introduction of how to do if the dragon fruit is not sweet. I hope it can help you know more about it. Please pay attention to us.
