The planting conditions of the latest peach trees

Peach tree is a kind of deciduous small tree with fruit as fruit. According to the local climate, traffic, terrain, soil, water source and other conditions combined with the adaptability of peach tree, especially strong light-loving and waterlogging fear, choose the plot with sufficient sunshine, high dry terrain, deep soil layer, sufficient water source and good drainage. Let's take a look at the planting conditions of peach tree together!

soil

Peach trees have strong adaptability to soil. Generally, they can be planted in soil. They grow well in neutral and acidic soil. Soil pH below 4 or above 8 severely affected growth. As for the adaptability to soil texture, sandy loam with good drainage, strong permeability and fertile soil is better, showing early fruit and good quality. If the soil is too fertile, the texture is too sticky, it is easy to grow too prosperous, the result is late, the early yield is low, the quality is poor, the taste is light, and the fruit is small.

temperature

Peach trees can adapt to a wide range of temperature. From plain to altitude, except for extremely cold and hot areas, the annual average temperature is 12~17℃. The optimum temperature for peach growth is 18~23℃, and the optimum temperature for fruit maturity is about 25℃. The normal growth of peach trees will be affected if the temperature is too low or too high during the growth period. The trees will not develop normally if the temperature is too low, the fruits will not mature easily, the branches will be burned easily if the temperature is too high, and the fruit quality will decrease. The southern varieties are more resistant to high temperature.

moisture

Peach originated from continental plateau, drought tolerance, excessive rainfall, easy to make branches and leaves excessive growth, poor quality of flower bud differentiation, less quantity, poor fruit coloring, light flavor, quality decline, not resistant to storage. Because of different climate conditions, the varieties of southern group had different requirements for water. The varieties of southern group were tolerant to humid climate and performed well in southern China. The varieties of northern group were easy to cause excessive growth, few flower buds, poor fruit and low quality in southern China. Therefore, when selecting cultivars, attention should be paid to the type of population to avoid trouble in production.

illumination

Light is essential for photosynthesis of plants. Peach trees are especially fond of light, lack of light, tree tops are prolonged, flower bud differentiation is less, quality is poor, flowers and fruits should be dropped. Therefore, artificial light is too weak when planting peach trees in greenhouses. Artificial auxiliary light should be used to ensure normal growth.
