The latest course of fig planting techniques and methods

Fig, which originated in the Mediterranean countries, is one of the oldest cultivated fruit trees in the world. It was introduced into China as early as the Han Dynasty. Fig is a hidden inflorescence formed by the expansion of the receptacle, the floret is hidden in the receptacle, people can only see the false fruit formed by the receptacle, but can not see the flowers, so it is called "fig", which is a perennial deciduous fruit tree. Figs have a long fruiting period, including summer fruit and autumn fruit. Figs have strong adaptability, lax soil requirements, and can grow normally in an environment where the temperature is not lower than-12 ℃. In the cold season in the north of China, measures to prevent cold and keep warm can also be planted. Tolerant to drought, shade and salt, it has the advantages of fast growth, early fruit and high yield.

Cutting seedling raising technique

There are many ways of fig reproduction, generally using cutting propagation, a year and many months can be cut, the survival rate is high.

1. Site selection: non-saline-alkali soil should be selected. Although it is resistant to salt and alkali, it contains slightly higher salt and alkali, and it is easy to die during the cutting period, so it is better to use fertile sandy loam and soil with high content of organic matter.

2. Cuttings: cuttings should be collected when the sap stops flowing after defoliation in autumn, and before germination in spring. The sprouting branches from the ground or the lower trunk of the mother tree are used as cuttings. in order to ensure the storage quality, the cuttings should be soaked in clean water for about 3 days before storage. After fishing, they should be covered with fine sand and irrigated with proper amount of water to keep the soil moist.

3. Cutting method: cuttings with suitable thickness, smooth cutting without stubble, no splitting and about 20 cm in length are used for cutting. According to the land, it is appropriate to fine the ground and fertilize the bed first. Generally, the bed is 50 cm wide and 33 cm high, or a small ridge of 35 cm, with a monopoly distance of about 35 cm, followed by cutting, along with watering, with a cutting depth of 17418 cm. The cutting time should be controlled about 3 days before the local healing and rooting period, at this time cutting can reduce the influence of external adverse climate, and its healing growth rate is fast.

Management after cuttage

Although fig cuttings are easy to heal and take root, we should also pay attention to the management after cutting. the main points of management are as follows:

The main results are as follows: 1. During the period of healing tissue formation, the high temperature should be raised in time, and at the same time, the water supply should be strengthened. In the late stage of healing and rooting, the cuttings grew a large number of hairy roots, and the temperature gradually increased, so attention should be paid to increasing soil moisture.

2. After healing and rooting and leaf-growing period, we should avoid pouring mud water, cut and prevent the phenomenon of sticking leaves, and pay more attention to low-bed cutting.

3. Adhere to the soil moisture watering, the soil moisture should be watered less or not, and if the soil is dry, it is appropriate to keep the soil moist.

4. Fig seedlings are not resistant to cold, so the simple way is to bury the soil or cover the mulch such as grass curtain, leaves and straw before the first freezing or falling spring cold.

5. before and after the seedlings enter the vegetative growth period, adhere to the light application of compound fertilizer based on nitrogen fertilizer once a month. The amount of fertilizer application increased gradually with the increase of seedling age. With the deepening of seedling roots, the effect of deep furrow application is better, but attention should be paid to avoid root damage during fertilization.
