Notes on the planting of the latest oranges

Oranges are the fruits we know very well. Orange juice we like to drink in our lives is made from it. It tastes very good and smells good. Coupled with the high nutritional content, there are many non-staple foods with it as raw materials on the market, so its market demand is so great that it attracts a lot of people to grow it. But there are a lot of problems to pay attention to when planting. Here are some notes on orange planting with Xiaobian.

1. Seed selection

Orange is originally a hybrid fruit of grapefruit and orange. after long-term cultivation and breeding, it has many varieties, such as oranges, sweet oranges, limes, and blood oranges, which are popular in recent years. We often eat these, so we have some hesitation before planting. We don't know what to plant. When selecting seeds, we depend on the consumption in the market and the location, to see which varieties are popular with consumers, and then plant excellent varieties according to the actual local conditions.

2. Soil preparation and fertilization

In addition to selecting the varieties suitable for planting, the next step is to choose the land for planting, and after the land selection is the yield of soil preparation and base fertilizer, in order to plant oranges well, improve the survival rate of seedlings, and lay the foundation for high yield and high yield in the future. First of all, to turn the soil deep, ploughing can make the soil loose, but also can use the sun to kill germs and pests in the soil, reducing the possibility of diseases and insect pests. After ploughing, we should control the distance between rows, dig caves with deep 60cm and 60 seedlings wide, and bring in about 50 kilograms of mature farm manure and 20-30 kilograms of ternary compound fertilizer as base fertilizer in each cave. After pouring, we should cover a layer of shallow soil and wet it. It is best to plant tree seedlings.

3. Fertilizer and water management

Oranges have different requirements for fertility and water at different growth stages. in order to promote their growth and form a crown as soon as possible, oranges have to be fertilized about 6 times a year, usually with the application of organic fertilizer and foliar fertilizer. When the plant begins to bear fruit, topdressing 4 times a year, mainly applying organic fertilizer and farm manure with foliar fertilizer, organic fertilizer and farm fertilizer generally use ring ditch application or hole application method, which can improve fertilizer use efficiency.

In the seedling stage to often water, keep the soil moist, promote seedling growth, but there can be no stagnant water, timely drainage after the rainy season, so as not to rot the roots of the seedlings. When it comes to the fruiting period, it is usually watered once a month, and the watering times and water quantity should be controlled in the middle and later period of the fruiting period. this is because the fruit has to accumulate and precipitate sugar, too much water and light taste.

4. Field management

In addition to fertilizer management, attention should also be paid to field management, which mainly involves weeding, pruning, flower and fruit thinning, pest control, and so on. Mid-tillage weeding is mainly in the seedling stage, which can enhance soil permeability and accelerate plant root growth; pruning should be carried out during the whole growth period, and seedlings will prune off messy branches and leaves; pruning during the growing period in order to promote lateral branch growth and control plant height, so that its lateral growth, more blossom and fruit; pruning old, weak, diseased and residual branches and leaves in fruit stage, so that nutrients are concentrated in the fruit and improve yield and quality.
