Management of plum tree planting

Plum belongs to the genus Prunus of Rosaceae. It is glittering and translucent in appearance, sour and sweet in taste, and is loved by many people. Plums are conducive to the secretion of stomach acid and stomach digestive enzymes, and investigations show that plums contain amazing antioxidants, which are called "super fruits" for anti-aging and disease prevention. Today, the editor brings you the management method of plums. Let's take a look.

1. Planting method

Plum trees are usually planted in spring because plums are prone to frost injury in autumn and winter. After choosing a good place to build the garden, dig planting holes, planting holes are generally 1-1.2 meters deep, with a diameter of 0.8-1 meters. When digging holes, the excavated soil should not be transported out of the garden, but should be placed around as a backup. Then put the plum saplings vertically in the hole, be careful not to wrap the roots together and spread all the roots, because this is conducive to the overall growth of the roots and absorb nutrients. When filling the soil, shake the tree trunk while filling the soil, so that all the tree trunks are in full contact with the soil. When filling to 20-30 cm, mix fertilizer with soil and continue to fill. When filling to 50-70 cm, step on the soil while filling, and finally 10-20 cm above the ground. Water immediately after filling.

2. Soil and fertilizer management

Plum tree on the soil requirements are not very strict, no matter what kind of soil can quickly adapt to normal growth, pH has no requirements. But the soil layer is deep, and the fertile soil can promote the growth and development of plum trees, and some vegetable crops can be planted between each tree. However, if the soil is relatively poor and shallow, you can grow some beans such as broad beans, of course, this is not for your own food, but ploughed them into the soil before and after the Beginning of Spring the following year as tree fertilizer.

3. Fertilization time

The main results are as follows: (1) Fruit-picking fertilizer: fruit-picking fertilizer mainly begins to be fertilized after fruit harvest in summer, this stage is the stage when plum needs fertilizer most, and the main fertilizer can be used farm manure and green manure. The aim is to restore the nutrients lost by trees after fruit harvest and prevent early defoliation.

(2) pre-flowering fertilizer: pre-anthesis fertilizer is fertilized when flower buds sprout in spring, the amount of fertilizer needed is the least, and the main application of available nitrogen fertilizer is to promote flowering.

(3) strong fruit fertilizer: the purpose of strong fruit fertilizer is to promote fruit expansion and provide sufficient nutrients when the fruit begins to have a core, mainly applying compost, and the amount of fertilizer required is second only to the harvest period.

The above is the simple arrangement of the editor about the plums need to pay attention to before and after planting, plums are actually very easy to grow, its soil requirements are different from other fruits are not strict at all. Mainly in the growth period of three times of fertilization, these three times of fertilization related to the final yield and quality of plums, of course, there are many diseases of plum trees need to be pre-controlled.
