Notes on the latest planting of Virgin Fruit

Virgin fruit in our daily life is also called small tomato, is a very common fruit, its appearance is very smooth. The individual is relatively small, basically one bite at a time, not only a kind of fruit, but also can be used to stir-fry vegetables as vegetables. It tastes no sour tomatoes, with some sweetness, and is rich in nutrients. Everyone will have some misunderstandings when planting, so what should we pay attention to when planting virgin fruit? Let's take a look at it.

1. Growth needs

The temperature suitable for the growth of virgin fruit is generally about 25 degrees, and the difference needs to be 10 degrees at night, so the average temperature can be controlled between 15 and 24 degrees. Light time will also have certain requirements, the daily light time should be 5-6 hours is the best, the soil moisture should be controlled at about 60%. Deep soil, loose soil and fertile soil can make the virgin fruit grow better, and the virgin fruit has a greater demand for fertilizer in the growth process. And each growth stage of the virgin fruit should have different fertilizers. For example, more nitrogen fertilizer can effectively promote the growth of the virgin fruit in the early growth stage, while more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is needed in the middle and later stage.

2. Sowing and raising seedlings

Virgin fruit has a very strong adaptability, as long as the growth temperature of virgin fruit is well controlled, it can be planted at any time of the year. For example, in the south, it can be planted every spring and autumn. When planting, we want to prevent germs in the seeds or viruses in the ovules. The seeds should be wrapped in gauze before planting, then soak the rest in trisodium phosphate water for about 15 minutes, and then take out the seeds. Put the seeds at a temperature of about 30 degrees and start sprouting. Wash the seeds on both sides with warm water every day. After 3-4 days, you can begin to raise seedlings.

3. Soil preparation and fertilization

Before planting, the orchard should be fertilized with sufficient base fertilizer, then the land should be deeply ploughed, the soil should be evenly mixed with the base fertilizer, the fertilizer of the soil should be improved, and then the land should be leveled. Then they begin to make beds, each with a height of about 30cm. The method of double-border planting can be implemented to control the planting distance between each plant. This can not only promote the normal growth of virgin fruit, but also prepare for pruning in the later stage. In the process of virgin fruit growth, it is necessary to remove weeds in the orchard, prevent the production of pathogens and parasites, affect the normal growth of the plant, and determine the final transplanting time according to the inflorescence. The planting quantity should be determined according to the planting land area.

4. build a frame and prune.

When the virgin fruit grows to the 35cm or so, it should be ready to set up the scaffolding, which can be built into a zigzag shape with iron wire or branches, and tie up the top of the shelf, which can not only enhance the permeability of the orchard to a certain extent, but also effectively control diseases and insect pests. The lateral branch of virgin fruit has a very strong growth ability, if there is no tube, it will have a great impact on the growth and development of the main branch. Therefore, we should wipe off the buds on the side branches in time, and cut off all the diseased branches, diseased fruits and residual leaves, which can not only effectively increase the yield, but also prevent the impact of the side branches.

The above four points are the matters that need to be paid attention to when planting virgin fruit, and we should pay attention to the invasion of some diseases and insect pests when planting. The orchard should be managed frequently, disinfect the orchard regularly, clean up the diseased branches, drop leaves and fruits, pay attention to ploughing and cultivating soil when overwintering, reduce the pathogens remaining in the soil and reduce the incidence of disease.
