How to select pistachio seeds?

In general, it requires high yield and strong disease resistance. However, due to the different planting environment, growers can make slight adjustments, such as drought-tolerant varieties in dry environment and varieties with strong moisture resistance in humid environment. In addition, other environmental requirements should be selected according to the specific situation. Then we have to choose the plumpness and disease resistance of the seeds, and whether they are old or not.

What are the methods of raising seedlings of pistachio?

1. Select the place

The pistachio is a kind of fruit that likes light and warmth very much, so this determines that the climate of the planting land is relatively stable throughout the year, followed by the planting land preferably sunny, and the land should be relatively flat and without depression. then there are hills, plains and slopes with good wind shelter and good drainage.

2. Land preparation

There are only two requirements for soil preparation: the first is to turn at least 25 cm deep, and the second is to flatten the soil in time. The last thing is that the base fertilizer is fully applied, mainly farm organic fertilizer.

3. Sowing seeds

There are many kinds of sowing methods of pistachio, such as seed sowing, grafting, cutting and striping, etc., the most primitive is seed sowing, and it is also a more popular way of sowing at the same time. Secondly, grafting sowing is also very popular, the first is the high survival rate, the second is the guarantee of quality and output, and finally, it can shorten the growth period.

4. Close planting

It is planted every spring in April and May, and when we plant it, we need reasonable close planting. Under normal circumstances, 200 to 300 pistachio trees can be planted in an acre of land. During the planting, it is planted according to the row spacing of 1.52 meters and the plant spacing of one meter to 1.5 meters.

5. Management

Basically, it only needs to be fertilized up to three times a year, usually in the way of ditch fertilization. Flower thinning is carried out in the peak period of blooming, while fruit thinning is carried out when the fruit has a big finger after the flower fades. The final work of clearing the garden is also more important, which can prevent diseases and increase yield.

6. Pollination

In order to improve the success rate of human heart fruit setting, artificial pollination is a very important work, artificial pollination is artificial point pollination, which is time-consuming, but the fruit rate is very high. It is mainly to smear the pollen one by one, which is more troublesome, and those with less area can be considered.

Pistachio is a famous tropical fruit introduced from abroad, which is mainly grown in Guangzhou, Hainan and Taiwan, where the climate is warmer all the year round. However, due to the small scale of planting, the current market is relatively rare.
