Mulberry planting precautions

Mulberry nutritional value and medicinal value are very high, it can be eaten as a fruit, but also can be used as medicine, it is now essential for health. Remember when I was a child in my hometown, there were mulberry trees in many places. At that time, no one wanted mulberry trees, but now the value of mulberry trees is high, so someone planted them specially. The following are some of the problems that need to be paid attention to when planting mulberry, which are sorted out by the small editor of the pro-agricultural network. I hope I can help you all.

1, planting conditions

Although mulberry adaptability is strong, but there are still some necessary planting requirements, first of all, if you want high yield, it is best to choose in the soil fertile, permeability and drainage are better planting, followed by the choice of sunny places, its growth requires a lot of light, and then it is best to plant in winter and spring every year, and finally choose a good variety.

2. Planting density

Many people do not consider the density when planting, and some people also think that the more plants planted, the higher the yield, in fact, this is not the case, its density has a certain scientific basis. The usual density is planted at a distance of about 1.5 meters between rows and 1.2 meters between plants, but we also need to make specific arrangements according to the fertility of the planting land and the selection of varieties. Generally, the row spacing is controlled at about 1.3 meters to 1.5 meters, and the plant spacing is controlled at about 1.2 meters to 1.3 meters.

3. Fertilizer and water management

Fertilizer and water management is actually a point that must be mentioned. Although everyone knows that fertilizer and water management is very important, if fertilizer and water management is not scientific, it will also cause great damage to mulberry trees. The newly planted mulberry tree is very fragile at this time, and if it is not managed well, it is likely to die. Usually three times a year need to be fertilized, the first time is generally in the early spring of each year, mainly with excrement urine water and urea irrigation, irrigation should be careful not to be too close to the roots, otherwise it will burn. The second fertilization should wait until mulberry trees bloom, when we should combine intertillage weeding and watering at the same time, mainly with farm manure. The third fertilization is one week after flowering, mainly organic fertilizer combined with urea for furrow fertilization, and can spray appropriate amount of dimethoate milk.

4. Pruning and cutting leaves

Many people basically don't notice the problem of pruning and cutting leaves when planting mulberry, so there are often various diseases and insect pests or the phenomenon that the yield is not as good as one year. One of the very important factors is that there is no pruning. Pruning can be carried out once a year, usually in winter is about February, or in the early spring of each year when mulberry begins to sprout new shoots. The pruning principle is to remove diseased branches, old branches, weak branches, dense branches for the purpose of pruning.
