The latest cashew growing conditions

Cashew is one of our favorite nut foods, which is rich in nutritional value, can be fried, can also be used medicinally, and is one of the four dried fruits in the world. In recent years, its market has been in a steady rising trend, the market prospect is good, and it has attracted a lot of planting, but it is also a little strict to the planting environment, which is not suitable for all environments. Below, the pro-agricultural network brings you the planting environment of cashew nuts. Let's take a look.

1. Temperature

Cashew is a tropical seasonal fruit tree, native to Brazil, is a warm, positive tree species, suitable for growing in the average temperature of 24-28 degrees between 25-30 degrees, the growth is very fast, normal blossom and bear fruit. It is not cold-resistant, but the cold tolerance increases gradually with the growth of the tree age. when the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, one or two fruit trees will dry up and die, and the trees that are more than three years old can bear the cold slightly, but both old and young trees are more sensitive to temperature. especially the low temperature environment.

2. Lighting

Cashew is a light-loving tree species, in a sunny environment, grow well, blossom and bear more, too lack of light, long-term in a more hidden environment, will grow poorly, blossom and bear less. In its country of origin, Brazil, the annual light duration can reach 1500-2000 hours, so in China, only Hainan or southwest regions can meet its light duration, which can reach 1500-2500 hours per year.

3. Soil

Cashew has strong environmental adaptability and loose soil requirements. It can grow normally in dry and barren red soil, sandy soil or stony mountain areas, but its growth and flowering and fruiting quantity are not as good as those in fertile soil. Like to grow in soil with good ventilation, loose fertility and good drainage, avoid low-lying land with poor drainage or soil with high salinity, half of them grow best in areas below 400 meters above sea level.

4. Moisture

The peak growing season of cashew trees is at the beginning of the rainy season, so it is most suitable for areas with sufficient water and rapid growth, with annual precipitation of 1000-1600 mm, and avoid areas with year-round overcast and rainy seasons or areas with high groundwater levels. this will lead to long-term root flooding, leading to plant root rot, and preferably plant death.

The above are the cashew planting conditions brought by the pro-agricultural network for you. As can be seen from the above conditions, cashew nuts like temperature, sufficient light and suitable precipitation, only Hainan, Guangxi and other provinces and cities in China meet the requirements.
