The latest course and time of planting techniques and methods of dragon fruit

It is a kind of fruit with relatively high nutritional value, which is more common in the market at present, and the market prospect is stable. Mainly widely planted in southern China, because of its high requirements for temperature growth, so some friends are not very ideal. Today, the pro-agricultural network will take you to learn about the planting method of dragon fruit.

First, planting time

Many friends think that dragon fruit can be planted in all seasons, this is true, but it is in the tropics as an example, in our country is the most suitable or spring, generally in March-April to start planting. Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit, the temperature requirement is generally higher than 18 ℃, when it is higher than 40 ℃, it will damage the fruit trees. Therefore, spring is generally suitable in our country, but we can already harvest in hot summer, so that production will not be reduced.

II. Planting methods

1. Land selection

As a matter of fact, dragon fruit has very low requirements for soil, and it can also be planted in some relatively barren places, but it requires extensive application of fertilizer, and its size and taste may not pass, resulting in loss of economic benefits. Generally speaking, normal cultivated land or hillside terraced soil is fine, but in order to produce high yield, it is necessary to choose land with long direct radiation time, good soil permeability and conducive to irrigation and drainage, so that daily manual management can worry a lot less.

2. Fertilizer and water management

The dragon fruit is multi-harvested and can be harvested many times a year, so its fertilization lies in a small amount of fertilizer many times. Pitaya is a plant with shallow roots, so we need to concentrate on watering the roots every day, otherwise the irrigated water will seep directly into the ground and the roots will be watered in vain. Fertilizer should be applied after each flowering, mainly organic fertilizer, which is spread around the root to facilitate the absorption of fertilizer. If possible, some farm manure can be applied to maintain the overall nutritional requirements of the plant.

3. Field management

After planting, the dragon fruit should establish a support around it, and tie the plant to the support to help it grow. Every day, it is necessary to clean up the necrotic branches in the field, and the heart of the tree is usually removed when the branch is 1.2m long, in order to ensure that the nutrition of dragon fruit can maximize the supply of other healthy branches in order to better bear fruit. When the weather is too hot, the use of water vapor cooling, spray out of the water had better simulate the form of drizzle precipitation, so as not to damage the roots.

The above is some information about dragon fruit planting. As a tropical fruit, it is not recommended to grow dragon fruit when the winter temperature is below 5 ℃. Some people say that you can build a greenhouse, and here the editor tells you that your cost is not as cheap and easy as the other ones you grow.
