What about ginkgo fruit drop?

Ginkgo biloba is a big deciduous tree with a very long growth cycle. The oldest ginkgo tree has been growing for hundreds of years now. Of course, the main value of ginkgo tree is ginkgo fruit, ginkgo fruit is a combination of medicinal and edible fruit, but ginkgo fruit should not eat more in a day, because ginkgo fruit contains a certain degree of toxicity. But now many growers will encounter a problem, that is, when planting, they will find that ginkgo trees often lose fruit, so what should they do when they encounter this situation? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Fertilization

When ginkgo trees blossom and produce young fruits, they should be fertilized at least twice, the first time during the period of fruit expansion, and then the second time during the kernel growth period. Trace element fertilizers such as phosphate fertilizer were applied during the fruit expansion period to promote the growth and development of the fruit. The mixed fertilizer of urea and phosphate fertilizer was applied during the kernel growth period, and the dosage was determined according to the growth and fruit of fruit trees. Increase the accumulation of nutrients in fruit trees, improve the resistance of trees, and reduce the phenomenon of fruit drop.

2. Moisture

Ginkgo trees do not like water or dryness, and should be watered in time in dry weather like summer, because drought will hinder the expansion of ginkgo fruit and prevent it from increasing yield. and it will also aggravate the phenomenon of fruit drop and have an impact on flower bud differentiation in the second year. If you encounter continuous rainy weather, serious stagnant water in the orchard, and no timely drainage, the stagnant water will make the roots unable to breathe, lack of nutrition absorption, causing a part of the ground close to the ground to begin to fall leaves and fruits. Therefore, we should timely improve the drainage and irrigation of orchards and improve the fruit setting rate of ginkgo biloba.

3. Pruning

Ginkgo trees need a lot of light and nutrients when they reach flowering, if there is not enough sunlight and water in the tree. Will cause the poor growth of the fruit, the stalk begins to turn yellow, causing the fruit to begin to drop fruit. Therefore, in the process of planting, we should properly cut off the overgrown branches, over-dense branches and overlapping branches. However, it should be noted that the wound after cutting needs to be bandaged to prevent the loss of water and nutrients due to the wound. In this way, the permeability of the tree can be enhanced, the nutrition accumulation of fruit trees can be strengthened, and the phenomenon of fruit drop can be changed.

4. Fruit thinning

Ginkgo tree is different from other fruit trees, the growth of ginkgo tree is divided into big and small years, in the big year, the number of fruits on the tree will increase, very easy to exceed the bearing range of the branches, not timely fruit thinning will make the branches can not bear the weight and break. And if there are too many fruits, the nutrients needed will also be increased, resulting in all nutrients transported to the fruit, branches and leaves do not have enough nutrition. And this will also make the situation of the big and small years more serious, so we should do a good job of fruit thinning in the young fruit stage to prevent the fruit drop caused by too much fruit in the later stage.

The above four points are the way to solve the problem of ginkgo fruit drop, of course, the editor's introduction is not very comprehensive, simply talked about these aspects. Also need to pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, diseases and insect pests are also the main cause of ginkgo fruit drop, for example, silkworm moth is one of them, you can use an appropriate amount of chemical control to reduce the probability of fruit drop.
