How to manage loquat trees to achieve high yield

How can loquat trees be managed to produce high yields? What do you need to pay attention to when planting loquat? Also ask experienced netizens to help introduce loquat because of its early maturity, so it has the reputation of "the first fresh fruit in early summer". But loquat belongs to low-yield fruit trees, in which the management of fruit trees is very important. Therefore, the farming network sorted out the key points of the management of loquat trees, which are listed in detail below for netizens' reference in order to obtain high yield of loquat as soon as possible. 1. The planting climate of loquat: loquat needs higher temperature, which can grow normally when the annual average temperature is above 12 ℃, but now the newly developed loquat trees in northern Jiangsu can grow normally when the annual average temperature is-10: 30 ℃. Loquat flowering in late winter and early spring, low temperature weather will affect its flowering and fruiting. If the temperature is-6 ℃ for flowering and-3 ℃ for loquat young fruit, it is suitable for loquat pollen germination when the temperature is above 10 ℃ and 20 ℃. However, when the air temperature or ground temperature is more than 30 ℃, the growth of branches, leaves and roots is slow and poor, and the fruit is exposed to a high temperature of 35 ℃ 7-15 days before picking, which is easy to cause sunburn injury and even lose edible value. Loquat has loose requirements on soil and wide adaptability. General soil can grow and bear fruit, but loose soil with more sand or gravel grows better. Second, loquat tree varieties: loquat varieties are generally divided into Hongsha loquat and Baisha loquat. Hongsha loquat variety has long life, strong tree potential and high yield, but its quality is not as good as Baisha loquat. The growth and yield of Baisha loquat is not as good as Hongsha loquat, but the quality is good, the famous varieties are round seed, breeding, chicken protein and so on. Third, fertilization of loquat trees: loquat trees need to be fertilized three times a year. Generally speaking, before flowering, the basic fertilizer of loquat is mainly farm manure (can be replaced by organic fertilizer), and the amount of fertilizer applied accounts for 70% of the total amount of fertilizer applied in the whole year; before the spring shoot of loquat tree begins to grow, the spring fertilizer is mainly nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, accounting for 20-30% of the amount of fertilizer applied in the whole year; the summer fertilizer of loquat before harvest or postharvest is mainly rotten organic fertilizer, accounting for 10% of the annual fertilizer application. Fourth, the dwarfing method of loquat tree: the dwarfing crown of loquat tree, such as trunk shape and layered shape, is mainly changed, and measures such as branch pulling and pruning are adopted to restrain the top dominance and promote the horizontal growth of the crown; the pruning of loquat tree is generally carried out in late September and ends at the end of October. 5. Flower and fruit thinning of loquat trees: early flower thinning of loquat trees can prolong the flowering period and prevent frost injury. Loquat trees are generally homogenized and bagged in the first ten days of April, leaving 2-4 fruits per ear of healthy branches without freezing damage (3-4 per ear of medium fruit type variety Baiyu and 2-3 per ear of large fruit type variety Guanyu), and 1 fruit per ear of fragile branches.
