Mistakes in Apple Orchard Management

Summer is coming, and the weather is also the hottest season of the year. It is hot and rainy in summer. The change of weather also increases the difficulty of orchard management, but in fact, many people have a lot of misunderstandings when managing apple trees, so what is the misunderstanding? How can these misunderstandings be corrected? Below, I have listed some of the most common misunderstandings for your reference.

1. No watering in drought

In June every year, drought and water shortage occur in many places, and this situation lasts for about a month. But June is the time when the flower buds and young fruits of apple trees expand, and it is also a time when fruit trees are in urgent need of a lot of fertilizer and water. However, many growers are afraid to wash out the flower buds because of watering, which is actually wrong, because watering at this time is not only conducive to flower bud differentiation, but also reduce the phenomenon of apple fruit cracking, killing two birds with one stone.

2. Single fertilizer

Apple trees need comprehensive fertilization in the growth process, if a single fertilization, whether it is phosphate fertilizer, potash fertilizer or other chemical fertilizer, which is extremely disadvantageous to the development of apple trees. When the Beginning of Summer is approaching in spring, we should apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, less nitrogen fertilizer, and some trace element foliar fertilizer, which must meet the nutrients needed for the growth and development of apple trees.

3. Concentration of fertilization

Many fruit growers concentrate on only one part of the tree when fertilizing, but this will evenly absorb nutrients and limit the growth of the apple tree. Fertilization should be in accordance with the arrangement of trees to dig ditches, pits, centralized strip application, this method of fertilization is suitable for apple trees when they are still young trees. But when it comes to fruit, fertilizers should be applied according to the condition of the tree.

4. Fertilizer problem

Many friends fertilize according to their own feelings, fertilizing whenever they are free and when they have money to buy fertilizer. But the best fertilization time for apple trees in summer is around 6.1. And many people pour unripe farm manure directly into the orchard, which not only fails to promote growth, but also causes apple trees to burn roots.

5. Bagging time

Now in order to pursue high quality, premature and high yield, many people will put a bag on the apple. But the time of bagging is also fastidious, bagging time too early will affect the development of young fruit, too late will make the apple surface green bad, the color is not good. The bagging time should be based on when you are going to harvest and sell the fruit. Early-maturing varieties should begin bagging about 3 months before harvest, and mid-late-maturing varieties should begin bagging before 3.5-April.

These are the most common misunderstandings of many fruit growers, but not just these, such as the quality and quantity of bagging, disease treatment and so on. There are many more serious problems in the management of fruit growers, so the editor did not list them all. The correct management method is the prerequisite for a good harvest. I hope you will pay more attention to it.
