How to plant passion fruit seedlings, what are the points for attention in planting and harvesting?

Passion fruit is very much shaped like an egg, so it is also called egg fruit. Its fruit can be used not only as fruits and vegetables, but also as feed for poultry. Passion fruit is very rich in amino acids, and its taste is completely different from other fruits. It has an obvious effect on promoting the absorption and digestion of the human body, as well as beauty and beauty. It has been gradually valued by consumers, and the demand is getting higher and higher. So the editor brought you the planting method of passion fruit today, let's have a look!

1. Choose a place to build a garden

The land suitable for the growth of passion fruit should be selected before planting. Passion fruit has a strong ability to adapt to the soil. When choosing an orchard, try to choose a place with leeward and sunny soil, loose and deep soil, and convenient drainage and irrigation. Because passion fruit is a kind of trailing fruit tree, it is necessary to start the treatment of scaffolding after selecting the site. In order to facilitate the climbing and development of fruit trees in the future, the planting time should be carried out in relatively moist and cool weather without sun as far as possible. After planting, we can cover the soil with some organic fertilizer and soil, and pour enough fixed root water, and then cover it with forage to preserve fertilizer and water to promote the growth of roots and seedlings.

2. Pruning and shaping

Pruning and shaping is a necessary work in the process of planting passion fruit. When the seedlings enter the normal growth and development, the lateral buds of the seedlings should be erased in time. This can promote the growth and thickening of the main vine, and when the main vine grows to a certain length, a column should be set up to assist the shelves. When the fruit tree grows up to adulthood, it is necessary to prevent some branches of the fruit tree from growing too luxuriantly, which will harm the growth and development of the bottom of the fruit tree and affect the permeability in the orchard. Prune the fruit trees in time after harvest. But don't cut it too hard, but cut all the fruit branches to the base when you finish harvesting the last batch of fruit.

3. Water and fertilizer management

Passion fruit likes to be wet very much, but it is very afraid of stagnant water and is not resistant to drought, so it is necessary to drain the orchard in time in case of continuous rainy weather, and water the fruit trees in time in dry weather. Especially in the fruit period, fruit trees have a great demand for water, so it is necessary to provide enough water for fruit trees. Fertilization should have a reasonable plan, not partial application or overapplication, and more nitrogen fertilizer should be applied in the early stage to promote the growth and development of fruit trees. And it should be noted that in the fruit expansion period, this period is the most critical period of passion fruit, it is necessary to strengthen its water and fertilizer management, and appropriately increase the application of potash fertilizer to artificially assist fruit expansion.

4. Timely harvest

Passion fruit should be harvested in time after ripening, but it should not be harvested prematurely, otherwise it will not be mature enough and affect the commodity value. When most of the fruit color changes to purplish red, it can be harvested, and the fruit color is mainly determined according to different varieties. Or you can wait until the fruit falls automatically after ripening, and the fruit that falls automatically should be picked up as soon as possible, otherwise the fruit will rot easily if it is beaten by wind and rain or exposed to the sun. The maturity period is generally determined according to the time of flowering, and there is no specific time limit.

The above is a brief introduction to the planting method of passion fruit. Although the economic benefit of planting passion fruit is relatively high, it requires certain planting technology. For example, when overwintering, we should pay attention to protect fruit trees from cold and heat preservation, so as to prevent fruit trees from frost damage caused by too low temperature, and then cause other diseases and insect pests. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can be helpful to all of you.
