The latest breeding methods of apple trees

A fruit tree's reproduction method is diversified, it is difficult to let it develop for a long time by relying on one model alone. The same is true for apple trees. In recent years, in order for apple trees to bear some relatively good fruits, their reproduction methods are not few. Let's learn about the common reproduction methods of apple trees together with Xiaobian.

1. Seed reproduction

Seed reproduction is a long-standing planting method in China. Generally, apple seeds are cultured in batches after treatment, and transplanted after seedling development. The reason for this is that the seedling rate is high, and because the cultivation environment is similar, the later management is more convenient, the variety difference is not big, the fruit and quality are relatively OK, which is a relatively common way at present. The disadvantage is that the cultivation time is long, the energy required in the middle is large, and it is very important for seed selection, otherwise it is easy to cause losses.

2. Grafting propagation

Grafting is a solution that everyone has come up with in recent years for the apple tree's "one tree with many fruits", that is, a fruit tree that allows it to bear a variety of apples. The first trees to be transplanted must be very strong and planted more than 2 years old, and then selected high-quality sprouts will be grafted onto the new trees. The advantage of this is that it can continue to expand the use value of apple trees, bear better quality fruits, and obtain higher profits. The disadvantage was that it was easy to die if it was managed during grafting. Secondly, the skill could only be guaranteed once, and it was very likely to be assimilated later, resulting in the need to transplant again. This method is suitable for growers who take the fine route and do not pursue yield.

3. Cutting propagation

Cuttage is a traditional memory in China. Many fruit trees in China can be propagated by cuttage, and apple trees are no exception. This choice of pruning object is very important, poor development can easily lead to branch death. When cutting branches, there need to be 5-6 buds above, cut off from the node, not stay in the air for too long, and send them to the cutting point immediately. The invention has the advantages that high-quality seedlings can be independently selected, and seedlings with high quality and right quantity can be selected. The disadvantage is that the survival rate is low, and certain planting techniques are needed. Otherwise, it is easy to have problems because of poor management. It is suitable for some people who intend to expand the planting area.

The above are several ways of apple tree reproduction. At present, apple trees are still very popular in China, and apples are also a kind of fruit that everyone eats more daily. These breeding methods can be referred to, more information can be paid attention to our website.
