The latest course of High-yield cultivation techniques of Ziziphus jujuba

Zizyphus jujuba, also known as longevity fruit, chicken claw fruit and so on, is a very common wild fruit in the countryside. although it is not often seen in the market, it still has a certain economic value and edible value. Jujube fruit is very rich in fat sugar, not only can be eaten raw, but also can make wine and boil sugar and so on. It has the functions of soothing and calming the mind, promoting urine excretion and so on. Now the market of Ziziphus jujuba is also gradually rising, so the editor has sorted out the high-yield cultivation techniques of Zizyphus jujuba. Let's have a look.

1. Land selection and preparation

The adaptability of Zizyphus jujuba is relatively strong, generally growing in the sunny and humid environment, the most suitable place for the growth and development of Zizyphus jujuba is the land with fertile soil, good drainage and irrigation system and moderate PH value. Because there are too many wild varieties, so it has not been paid attention to by people, with the felling, environmental pollution and other problems, resulting in a rapid decline in resources, lack of commodities. Therefore, jujube should be planted on a large scale. After selecting a suitable planting area before planting, we should first dig a planting pit with a depth and width of about one meter, dig the sloping land into fish scales, prevent excessive soil erosion, and put some dead branches and leaves in the pit as fertilizer planting.

2. Seedling and sowing

The propagation mode of jujube tree is mainly seed reproduction, which begins to collect seeds when it is ripe in November every year. The skin of the seed is reddish brown, generally a fruit contains 3 seeds, the seed is leathery, and the mesoembryo is yellow and white, so it is difficult to absorb water. Therefore, it should be germinated with wet sand after harvest, and each layer of seeds should be stored with a layer of wet sand. Generally, radicles will appear after two months. Then you can start to sow seeds, usually in early April when the seedlings can emerge, wait until the seedlings grow out of about 5 true leaves, start to grow seedlings. Stay strong to weak, in the seedling stage should often be watered and fertilized to promote the growth of seedlings.

3. Post-planting management

Because the growth rate of jujube seedlings is very slow, the management of young trees must be strengthened after planting, and it usually takes 5-6 years to hang fruit after planting. Every spring and summer, when weeds grow in disorder, we must loosen the soil and weed in time, and water in time when we encounter dry weather. Fertilizer is applied once a year in spring, summer and winter to promote the growth of trees. The use of modern dwarfing branch pulling techniques can effectively reduce the time for trees to hang fruit. In the second year after planting, when the young tree grows to about 1.5 meters, bend its trunk to achieve the purpose of early and multi-fruit, and improve the economic benefits of planting.

4. Harvesting and processing

When the jujube is not fully ripe, the pedicel will contain a lot of tannins, which will affect our taste and make us feel sour and dry and difficult to eat. After several frosts every winter, the fruit stalk is ripe when the sidewalk is reddish brown and begins to be harvested. Cut off the fruit branches, store them in a cool zone, and in a week or so, you can go on the market and sell them. It can also be squeezed into juice for sale. The main thing is to tidy up the shape, tie it into a small handful and sell it to various bars and hotels.

The above is a brief introduction to the high-yield cultivation techniques of Zizyphus jujuba. The most important point in the planting process is the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests. Because it takes so long to mature and hang the fruit, if you still encounter diseases and insect pests, it will lead to a decline in production or even extinction, making people lose all their money. Therefore, we must pay close attention to the situation of each tree and deal with abnormal situations in a timely manner. You still have to carefully consider the planting time and conditions to consider whether it is suitable for large-scale planting!
