Orchard Management of Lemon

Lemon is warm and shady, but it is not cold-resistant or heat-resistant. According to the experiment, the market demand and market price of lemon are gradually rising steadily, and the economic benefits are becoming more and more considerable. Many people are planting, although you may have a relatively correct planting method, but this is still far from enough, after the lemon tree is planted, the next orchard management is the most important step. How to do a good orchard management in order to make lemons produce better fruit? Let's take a look at it.

1. Fertilizer and water management

The characteristic of lemon tree fertilization is that spring fertilizer should be applied early, stable fruit fertilizer should be applied according to the situation, strong fruit fertilizer and topdressing fruit fertilizer should be applied at least three times a year, and the amount of fertilizer should be determined by the number of fruits and the degree of soil fertility. Fertilizing lemon trees is mainly based on farm manure, supplemented by chemical fertilizer, and spring flower fertilizer when the Beginning of Spring grows new shoots every year. Spring flower fertilizer is mainly quick-acting fertilizer and organic fertilizer. Tree species with weak growth and more flowers should be applied more, while tree species with strong growth and less flowers can be applied less or not. Lemon trees also have important requirements for water. In case of drought, water should be replenished immediately to ensure that fruiting trees have sufficient water supply and development fruit during spring shoot emergence and young fruit stage.

2. Reasonable pruning

The shaping and pruning of lemon trees can be carried out all the year round, but mainly in winter and spring, supplemented by the growing season. The initial stage of fruiting trees should be mainly light and sparse, in order to cultivate excellent fruiting mother branches, so as to gradually increase the amount of flowers every year. However, with the increase of tree age year by year, the amount of tree pruning should begin to increase appropriately. Pruning is mainly based on summer pruning, on the one hand, to prune too long branches to enhance tree permeability, and on the other hand, to cultivate tree shape and thinning branches that may disturb the tree shape. The purpose of keeping the weak vegetative branches as mother branches in spring and autumn is to ensure that there are enough flowers and fruits in the coming year, so that the nutrition of the tree can turn to reproductive growth in time.

3. Flower and fruit management

In the summer of last year, autumn shoots should be placed according to the growth, age, fruit number and precipitation of lemon trees, in order to make lemon trees form good fruiting mother branches, and to protect their branches and leaves. to avoid being troubled by diseases and insect pests. After the autumn shoots are fully mature, we can begin to loosen the soil and cut off the roots, in order to control the growth rate of lemon winter shoots and promote flower bud differentiation in the coming year. After the lemon trees thank the flowers, you should immediately take measures to protect the fruit. if you encounter cloudy and rainy weather, shake the tree in time and shake the water out of the flowers to avoid rotting the flowers.

4. Fruit bagging

Although there was no bagging in the past, bagging technology became popular after people discovered the benefits of bagging, and now bagging can be used no matter what fruits are planted or even some melons and vegetables. Lemon bagging to choose strong growth, well-managed plants, fruits need to choose no difference in appearance, no diseases and insect pests, good growth of lemon fruit bagging. The time is usually around July every year. Before bagging, the orchard needs to be thoroughly sterilized, sprayed once every three days and sprayed twice. When the potion is dry, you can start bagging.

The above is the orchard management technology when planting lemon, manage the orchard well, reduce the source of disease and reduce the incidence of disease. To make lemons have a good growth environment, we need to pay additional attention to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, no matter what diseases and insect pests are not dealt with in time. It will lead to a substantial reduction in orchard production, a rapid decline in quality, and may even be wiped out.
