Matters needing attention in the latest mulberry planting

Mulberry has high nutritional value and medicinal value. It can not only be eaten as a fruit, but also can be used as medicine. It is a necessary food for health preservation. I remember that when I was a child in my hometown, there were mulberry trees in many places. At that time, no one asked for mulberries, but now the value of mulberries is high, so some people specially plant mulberries. The following are some problems that need to be paid attention to in planting mulberries sorted out by the editor of pro-agricultural network. I hope they can be of all help to you.

1. Planting conditions

Although mulberry has strong adaptability, there are still some necessary planting requirements. First of all, if you want to have a high yield, it is best to choose sand with good soil fertility, permeability and drainage. The second is to choose a sunny place, its growth needs a lot of light, and then it is best to plant in winter and spring every year, and finally choose a good variety.

2. Planting density

Many people do not consider the problem of density when planting, and some people still think that the more plants they plant, the higher the yield. In fact, this is not the case, and its density has a certain scientific basis. The usual density is planted at a distance of 1.5 meters between rows and 1.2 meters between plants, but we also need to make specific arrangements according to the fertility of the planting land and the selection of varieties. Generally speaking, the row spacing is controlled at about 1.3 to 1.5 meters, and the plant spacing is controlled at about 1.2 to 1.3 meters.

3. Fertilizer and water management

In fact, fertilizer and water management must be mentioned, although we all know that fertilizer and water management is very important, but if fertilizer and water management is not scientific, it will also cause great harm to mulberry trees. The newly planted mulberry tree is very fragile at this time, and it is likely to die if it is not managed well. Usually, fertilization needs to be carried out three times a year, the first time is usually in the early spring, mainly with feces and urine and urea irrigation, irrigation should be careful not to be too close to the root, otherwise it will burn to death. The second fertilization should wait until the mulberry blossoms, when we should combine ploughing, weeding and watering at the same time, mainly farm manure. The third fertilization, that is, a week after flower fade, was mainly ditched with organic fertilizer combined with urea, and an appropriate amount of dimethoate milk could be sprayed.

4. Pruning and pruning

Many people basically do not notice the problem of pruning and leaf pruning when planting mulberries, so there are often all kinds of diseases and insect pests or the yield is worse than year after year, one of the very important factors is that there is no pruning. Pruning can be done appropriately once a year, usually when winter is around February, or when mulberries begin to sprout and grow new shoots in early spring. The principle of pruning is to prune for the purpose of removing diseased branches, old branches, weak branches and dense branches.
