Matters needing attention in planting Citrus

Citrus is a kind of fruit with wide planting area in China. Citrus is also a kind of thermophilic and humid fruit. It tastes very good and is welcomed by many people. It is also divided into many different varieties, such as crystal sugar orange, orange, etc., each variety is very popular in the market. But there are many people who like it. Do you know what to pay attention to when planting citrus? The following small series today introduces what to pay attention to when planting citrus.

1. Temperature

Citrus is a kind of warm-loving fruit, there is a good saying that "orange Huainan is orange, orange Huaibei is orange" This is precisely because of the temperature caused. The final yield and quality of citrus are controlled by temperature. The minimum growth temperature of citrus should not be lower than 12 ℃, and the most suitable growth temperature of citrus should be between 25-30 ℃. If the ambient temperature exceeds 35 degrees, the growth of citrus will be hindered to a certain extent, and citrus will not grow below 12 degrees. Therefore, when planting citrus, the temperature should be kept as close as possible to the stage suitable for citrus growth. Planting friends should choose whether to plant according to the weather conditions of the planting area and the surrounding environment.

2. Light

Light is also very important for the normal growth of citrus. In the process of citrus growth, it is necessary to keep citrus trees with sufficient light time in order to make citrus grow better. According to experiments, citrus requires at least 1000 hours of light per year, or even longer. Long enough illumination time can promote citrus growth and development, improve fruit maturity and sugar content, so it is very important to meet the illumination time of citrus. Citrus planting density can be increased appropriately, because if the planting density is too thin, the sun will burn the fruit and tree body, so in order to reduce these damages, planting can be slightly more dense.

3. Moisture

It is also said that citrus is more like a humid environment, and citrus trees need a lot of water a year, requiring annual precipitation at least not less than 1200 mm. However, if there are more rainy season areas also need to pay attention to drainage work, because too much water on citrus growth will also cause a certain impact. Pay attention not to let there be ponding in the orchard. In case of continuous drought weather, we should pay attention to watering for drought prevention. Therefore, when we water, we should make relative measures according to different changes. One thing to ensure is to provide enough water for citrus growth. Because water shortage will lead to citrus yield and quality decline.

4. Soil

Citrus soil requirements are not very strict, it can be planted in most places, such as mountains and hills. As long as the soil layer is relatively deep and the soil is relatively loose, citrus can grow normally. The organic matter in the soil is 4%, and the PH value is 4.8-8.5. Citrus can grow normally. But PH value around 6 is the most suitable for citrus growth, if more than 8, citrus leaves will begin to turn yellow. Therefore, when planting, choose good soil, in order to effectively improve the quality and yield of citrus oh!

The above four points are the things that need to be paid attention to when planting citrus. What needs special attention is temperature and light. Temperature changes will directly affect the growth of citrus, so the temperature around citrus must be controlled during planting. Moreover, citrus is very fond of light, but when the sun shines, we should pay attention to prevent being burned, so planting citrus also needs to master certain skills.
