Causes and Protective measures of Cherry Fruit cracking

The most worrying thing about many fruits in the process of planting is the phenomenon of fruit cracking, and cherries are no exception, which is a very troublesome thing for cherry fruit cracking. Once the fruit is cracked, the bacteria will invade from the crack, resulting in fruit rot, and once the fruit crack can not be put on the market for sale, it will cause great economic losses to fruit growers. What about the split cherry fruit? Are there any prevention and control measures? The following pro-agricultural network brings you the causes and control measures of cherry fruit cracking.

1. The variety is not suitable

There are many varieties of cherry, the characteristics of these varieties are different, the probability of fruit cracking is also different, some varieties have thin flesh, the probability of fruit cracking is higher, while some varieties have good pulp elasticity and low probability of fruit cracking. On the other hand, some varieties have high fruit setting rate, not only high yield, but also in the fruit expansion period, because the amount of fruit is large, the nutrient transported by the plant is relatively small, so the expansion is slower and the probability of fruit cracking is low, while the variety with low fruit setting rate has less fruit. the plant nutrient transport is more and faster, and it will grow rapidly during the expansion period, so the fruit cracking rate is high.

Prevention and control measures: select the variety of fruit resistance to plant, from the root source to solve this problem.

2. Imbalance of soil and water

Some fruit growers choose clayey soil with poor drainage, or apply more chemical fertilizer and basically no organic fertilizer when applying fertilizer, which leads to the lack of a lot of trace elements in the soil in the long run, and finally the soil is agglomerated and the permeability is poor. The root growth of the plant is blocked, and the ability of water storage and drainage is poor, but in the overcast and rainy season, the soil is easy to accumulate water, and when the fruit expands, it absorbs too much water, which leads to fruit cracking.

Prevention and control measures: choose soil with loose soil and good drainage to plant, fertilize and use organic fertilizer or farm manure, try not to apply chemical fertilizer, plough and weed 2-3 times a year, loosen the soil around the planting several times to prevent soil consolidation. Timely watering during drought and timely drainage in rainy season.

3. Air humidity

Air humidity is also a major cause of normal cherry fruit cracking, in the fruit expansion period, the sudden change of air humidity will also cause fruit cracking phenomenon.

Prevention and control measures: if planted in the greenhouse, it is necessary to balance the humidity in the room, especially when the fruit is fully ripe, cherries can continue to grow when they are ripe, so keep the humidity level. If it is open-air planting, it is necessary to build protective measures to protect against rain to reduce the incidence of fruit cracking and bird damage. In addition, there is the harm of preventing frost in cold areas.

The above are the causes and protective measures of cherry cracking brought by pro-agricultural network. I hope this article can help friends who are planting and want to plant cherries, more agricultural knowledge, please pay attention to pro-agricultural network.
