The planting conditions of the latest sugar tangerine

Shatang orange is a famous variety of citrus. Its pulp tastes without residue and tastes sweet, so it is deeply loved by men and women of all ages in our country. Recently, the planting prospect of sugar orange has been concerned by many people, but due to the limited growth conditions of sugar orange, it has always led to less planting area. So what conditions do you need to grow sugar tangerine? Let's take a look.

1. Soil requirements

Citrus has a wide adaptability to soil. It can be planted in red and yellow loam, beach and seashore, and can grow in the soil environment of pH 4.5-8, but the suitable pH value is 5.5-6.5. The root system of citrus needs high oxygen content when growing, so try to choose the soil with loose soil, rich in organic matter and good drainage. If the soil is heavy and poorly drained, it can easily lead to soil hardening, affect the root respiration of sugar orange, make it grow poorly, affect the yield and quality, and the fruit taste is sour.

2. Temperature requirement

Sand sugar orange likes a warm environment, afraid of high temperature environment, high temperature environment is not conducive to the growth of sugar orange, generally the temperature is higher than 37 degrees, the root system of the plant will stop growing. And temperature also has a certain effect on the quality of fruit, growing at a suitable temperature, its sugar content and soluble solids will increase with the increase of temperature, and the acidity will decrease, and the quality will be better. The suitable temperature for its growth is between 12.5 and 37 degrees. In autumn, flower bud differentiation requires a temperature of about 20 degrees and 10 degrees day and night. Once the temperature is below zero, it may produce varying degrees of freezing injury, and when it is serious, it will freeze to death directly.

3. Lighting requirements

Sugar orange is a highly negative tolerant tree species, but if you want to achieve high yield, you still need to increase sufficient light, generally in the annual sunshine area of 1200-2000 hours can grow normally. Growing in areas with good light conditions and abundant calories, its fruit has high sugar content, acid content and high sugar-acid ratio.

4. Moisture requirement

Sugar orange is suitable for planting in tropical and subtropical areas with annual precipitation of about 1000 mm, but because of the uneven distribution of precipitation, artificial watering is often needed to replenish water. In production and cultivation, the relative water content of the soil should be controlled at about 60% Mel 80%. Once it is lower than 60%, it should be watered in time. In case of heavy rain, the phenomenon of stagnant water in the soil or high groundwater table may cause root rot and death in orchards with poor drainage, so it is necessary to take good drainage measures.
