Matters needing attention in the latest planting of citrus

Citrus is a fruit with a wide planting area in China, and citrus is also a kind of fruit that likes temperature and humidity. It tastes very good and is welcomed by many people. It is also divided into many different varieties, such as ice sugar orange, fertile orange and so on, each of which is very popular in the market. But there are a lot of people who like it, so do you know what to pay attention to when growing oranges? Today, the editor will introduce what you should pay attention to when growing oranges.

1. Temperature

Citrus is a kind of temperature-loving fruit, there is a good saying that "tangerine raw Huainan is orange, orange raw Huaibei is trifoliate orange." this is precisely because of the temperature. The final yield and quality of citrus is controlled by temperature, the lowest growth temperature of citrus can not be lower than 12 degrees, the most suitable temperature for citrus growth is between 25 and 30 degrees. If the ambient temperature exceeds 35 degrees, then the growth of oranges will be hindered to some extent, and oranges below 12 degrees will not grow, so when planting oranges, try to keep the temperature within the stage suitable for citrus growth. Planting friends should choose whether they can plant or not according to the weather conditions of the planting site and the surrounding environment.

2. Lighting

Light is also very important for the normal growth of citrus. In the process of citrus growth, it is necessary to maintain sufficient light time in order to make citrus grow and develop better. According to experiments, oranges need at least 1000 hours of light each year, or even longer. Long enough light time can promote the growth and development of citrus and improve the maturity and sugar content of citrus fruit, so it is very important to meet the light time of citrus. The planting density of oranges can be increased appropriately, because if the planting density is too thin, the sun will burn the fruits and trees, so in order to reduce these damage, planting can be slightly denser.

3. Moisture

As mentioned earlier, citrus prefer a humid environment, and citrus trees need a lot of water in a year, requiring that the annual precipitation should not be at least less than 1200mm. However, in areas with more rainy season, we also need to pay attention to drainage, because too much water will also have a certain impact on the growth of citrus. Be careful not to have stagnant water in the orchard. In continuous dry weather, we should pay attention to watering against drought. Therefore, when we carry out watering, we should take relative measures according to different changes, and there is one guarantee that we should provide enough water for citrus growth. Because lack of water will lead to a decline in the yield and quality of citrus.

4. Soil

Citrus is not very strict on soil, it can be grown in most places, such as mountains and hills. As long as the soil is relatively deep and loose, the citrus can grow well, and the organic matter in the soil can grow well when the pH value is 4.8-8.5. But the PH value is about 6 is the most suitable for citrus growth, if more than 8, the citrus leaves will begin to turn yellow. Therefore, when planting, choose good soil quality in order to effectively improve the quality and yield of citrus!

The above four points are the things you need to pay attention to when growing oranges, and you need to pay special attention to temperature and light. The change of temperature will directly affect the growth of citrus, so the temperature around the citrus must be controlled in the process of planting. And oranges like light very much, but they also need to pay attention to prevent burns when the sun shines, so growing oranges also requires everyone to master certain skills.
