Cherry is delicious but difficult to grow. How to prevent cherry cracking

For a period of time before cherries are on the market, what fruit farmers fear most is rain, because after rain, the cherries in the field begin to crack, but the fruits that can be listed on the market are cracking one after another, but the fruit growers are really worried.

Cherry

The main results are as follows: 1. Select anti-cracking fruit varieties. At present, no big cherry varieties with complete resistance to fruit cracking have been found, but the number and degree of fruit cracking vary with different varieties. Such as big purple, crystal, Binku and other varieties, because of its low pericarp strength, many stomata and large, strong water absorption, heavy fruit cracking; Samit, Rabins and other light fruit cracking varieties.

In addition, the cracking of big cherries is mostly caused by drought and rain before harvest, so farmers can also use early-maturing cherry varieties that mature before the rainy season to avoid the rainy season, such as Zaofeng, red light, Zhifu red and so on.

2. The soil moisture content of cherry growing steadily. Cherry fruit cracking is also closely related to the uneven distribution of soil water content. For example, when this soil is in a state of lack of water for a long time, cherry fruit cracking will occur when it suddenly rains; if the soil moisture remains relatively saturated and stable, even if it rains suddenly, the fruit cracking will be lighter.

3. Spray calcium salt before harvest. According to the experiment, spraying 0.2% calcium chloride solution 3 times every 7 days before fruit harvest can reduce the phenomenon of fruit cracking and prolong the shelf life of big cherries.

4. in addition, before the cherry begins to color and the rainy season comes, build a plastic film shelter for the cherry to create a rain-free environment and effectively prevent cherry fruit cracking.

Although the above methods can not completely prevent cherry fruit cracking, but can also reduce the loss a little, so fruit growers friends might as well give it a try.
