Original Title: Luo Jintai: Exploring the "Three Tips" of Longan Planting

Luo Jintai is picking longan

Comprehensive report on agriculture, rural areas and farmers: "This spring has not been busy, flower buds have been washed, physiological flowering branches have grown into vegetative branches, affecting some yields." A few days ago, Yongchuan District Zhutuo town Longhuiya village planting big Luo Jintai told reporters, Fortunately planting longan for 15 years, He gradually found out "Three know-how," Reduce some losses.

Dwarf trees, few weeds.

"Look, the leaves of my trees are almost touching the ground. In this way, there will be no weeds growing around the stumps." Luo Jintai led reporters around his orchard while introducing his know-how.

Reporters take a closer look, many longan trees are obviously pruned, dwarfed, the leaves of the lowest layer of branches surrounded into a circle, the ground within the crown clean. Elsewhere in the orchard, weeds grew.

Luo Jintai said that he planted more than 40 mu of longan, about 1400 plants, never herbicide, also do not need artificial weeding, but in the continuous high temperature before pruning, dwarfing. "This way, not only can the soil on the surface be protected and the pruned branches wither naturally to become fertile, but it can also allow the remaining branches to absorb more nutrients." At the same time, he will trim more fruit trees on the sidewalk for tourists to pick.

Fumigation of fallen leaves to prevent frost

Luo Jintai said that in recent years, Yongchuan has encountered rain and snow many times. "Especially on the night before it clears up after snow, frost can cause devastating damage to longan trees." Therefore, every time it snows, Luo Jintai will pay more attention to the weather conditions and be prepared for emergencies at any time.

"What should I do in case of frost?" the reporter asked. Pointing to a pile of longan leaves here and there in the orchard, he said that fallen leaves were good materials for smoking. He would light leaves ahead of the expected frost, not open flames, only smoke, to break the frost damage to fruit trees.

Avoid spring "rush"

"However, there are times when I am careless. For example, this spring, I forgot the third trick I summarized." he said.

Due to the heavy snow weather in Yongchuan last year, many fruit trees entered dormancy period for a relatively long time, and the excitement of flower bud differentiation after spring could not reach_"just like people sleep for a long time and refuse to wake up."

In April this year, Luo Jin was too busy to improve longan trees in Shuidutan Village, Zhanggu Village, Tanzikou Village and Longhuiya Village of Zhutuo Town, while his wife was busy planting sweet potatoes and missed the best period of applying deciduous chlorophytin and chlorophytin. As a result, some flower buds in the orchard differentiated into vegetative branches this year, and the flowers were much less than in previous years. In addition, there was more rain in April, and the pollination and fruit setting decreased correspondingly due to rain during flowering, so this year's yield was greatly reduced compared with last year.

Last year Luo Jintai orchard output more than 30,000 jin, this year only 5000 jin. "One finger can only hold a flea!" Luo Jintai joked that they will not be distracted next year. Looking at the green longan leaves on the tree now, he said those were the fruit branches next year, estimated to yield more than 40,000 jin next year. (Reporter Ling Zeying/Photo)
