Planting techniques of four Seasons Pomegranate

1. Planting time: pomegranate can be planted all the year round, but it is most suitable to be planted in autumn or early spring, better in autumn in the south and in spring in the north. When pomegranate is cultivated in open field, the place with sufficient light and good drainage should be selected.

2. Apply sufficient base fertilizer: before planting four Seasons pomegranate, ripen the courtyard soil deeply, remove sand, gravel, tiles and other sundries, and replace it with fertile soil with a depth of about 50 cm. Dig the planting pit according to the planting point, with a depth of 40 cm, a length of 0.6 cm and a width of 0.8 m. The plant was fertilized with organic fertilizer of 25kg to 50kg, mixed with topsoil, and then backfilled and filled with water.

3. Planting techniques: the four seasons pomegranate planting should strictly select high-quality seedlings with complete root system, thick trunk diameter, smooth stem and full bud eyes, cut off the root cutting wound, and the planting depth should be that the original soil imprint on the neck of the root is level with the surface, and then irrigate in time, and the tree disk should be covered with plastic film after water infiltration.

Cultivation and management of pomegranate in four seasons

1. Soil management: leave a tree disk with a diameter of 1 meter under the tree. In the areas where the soil temperature is too high in summer or the courtyard hardened by cement, the tree plate can be used to cover organic matter (straw, bran shell, sawdust, etc.) or grow grass on the tree plate (planting lawn) to cool and moisturize and promote normal growth and development. If there is no mulching or growing grass, the tree plate shall be ploughed and weeded 3 or 4 times a year, with a depth of 5 cm to 10 cm.

2. Rational fertilization: a small amount of fertilizer was applied to the tree plate once a month from May to July after the seedlings survived, and 1 kilogram of rotten manure water and a small amount of urea were applied to each plant. The annular ditch was dug before the defoliation in autumn, and the plant was applied organic fertilizer of 20kg to 30kg. From the second year to the full fruit stage, the annular ditch was used to apply base fertilizer once a year, compound fertilizer and mature manure were applied in Shupan hole for 3 times, and the amount of fertilizer was adjusted according to the yield. At the same time, pay attention to foliar topdressing in the growing season, mainly nitrogen fertilizer in the early stage, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in the middle and later stage, and the total concentration of fertilizer solution does not exceed 0.3%. Extra-root topdressing can also be sprayed with biogas liquid or rotten manure.

3. Irrigation and drainage: the key periods of pomegranate irrigation are mainly the sprouting period, the fruit expansion period and the first three periods of defoliation. It is appropriate to maintain soil moisture at 60-80%, and other periods are mainly controlled flexibly according to soil moisture. Pomegranate is resistant to drought and waterlogging, so we should pay attention to drainage in the growing season to prevent the soil and tree plates from accumulating water for a long time, causing waterlogging.

Plastic surgery: rose pomegranate trees like light, and pomegranate shaping in the courtyard should not only consider the growth and fruit characteristics of pomegranate, but also have a certain ornamental nature. most of the commonly used tree shapes are trees without trunk or central trunk, mainly with "V" shape, natural happy shape and so on.
