High-yield management techniques of fig

The fruit of figs, stems and leaves and even the whole plant can be used as medicine. The fruit can not only be used as an appetizer, aid digestion, but also treat diarrhea. It also has a certain effect on reducing blood lipids, figs have high edible and medicinal value. After most people realized its value, the market immediately got up, and there were more and more farmers, but do you know how to grow it? How to manage figs to achieve high yield? Let's take a look at it.

1. Fertilizer and water management

The basic fertilizer of figs is generally applied together during winter ploughing before and after the deciduous period, topdressing fertilizer is applied when the new shoots grow in the expansion period of the receptacle fruit, it is not suitable to apply all at once, and it is best to apply it in stages. Flower and fruit Zhuangtiling is sprayed once at flowering, young fruit stage and expansion stage to regulate the internal nutrition of the fruit. Because this can avoid the phenomenon of stunting, falling flowers and fruits caused by insufficient nutrition, which has an obvious effect on the flower and fruit protection of figs.

2. Shaping and pruning

Fig plant should not be too tall, the tree shape is mainly pile type, in the first year of planting, the plant should be kept at about 20 cm, in order to promote the basal branch growth, and then select 5 branches in the branch as the main branch to start culture. separate the branches to the direction of lateral branches and fruiting branches. The main purpose of pruning is winter pruning, supplemented by summer shearing. The main purpose of summer shearing is to protect flowers and fruits and improve yield and quality. Winter pruning is mainly for the sprouting and nutrition accumulation of plants in the second year.

3. Harvest and storage

The ripening time of figs is longer than that of other fruits. Figs are harvested in batches. The fruit will gradually mature in summer. There will be a small hole in the ripe figs. The net pattern on the pericarp can also be counted with the naked eye. Meet the market demand period can be harvested in advance, the harvest should be chosen in dry weather, in order to avoid damage to branches, harvest action should not be too big. Because ripe figs rot easily, it is important to maintain a low temperature of zero degrees and a relative humidity of more than 80% during storage.

4. Disease control

Figs will produce a lot of diseases and insect pests, such as anthrax, corner spot, etc., pests such as yellow thorn e, beetles, and so on, these diseases are due to inadequate management of the orchard, most germs, insect eggs are attached to the soil and disease remains over the winter. When the temperature picks up in spring, germs and eggs will begin to breed and parasitize on the trees, causing damage to the trees and causing diseases. The orchard must be disinfected regularly, concentrate on cleaning up the disease and debris, and disinfect the soil after harvest so as to reduce the source of disease.

The four points mentioned above are about the management of figs. Figs generally need more water and fertilizer to ensure the amount of water and fertilizer they need. And the harm of diseases and insect pests to figs is very great, we must pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, regularly clean the orchard, burn the disease and debris. It should also be noted that the high temperature of figs after ripening will lead to extremely perishable, so storage must be kept below zero temperature to prevent decay.
