Banana is a very common fruit in our daily life, its pulp is very soft and waxy, rich in nutrients, often eating banana can effectively prevent high blood pressure, and has a very good soothing effect on cerebral nerves. At the same time, it can treat diseases such as constipation and gastric ulcers, but for people who lose weight, they still eat less and get fat. Today we are mainly going to learn the notes of banana planting. Let's take a look at it.

1. Time

The reason why we should pay attention to the planting time of banana is that banana is a kind of temperature-loving plant, which is suitable for planting in places where the four seasons are relatively warm, so its planting time is basically related to the temperature in time. Then the temperature suitable for banana planting is usually about 25 to 35 degrees, and the most suitable temperature for banana growth is about 20 to 30 degrees. So the best planting time is in March and April and August and September of each year. The most unsuitable season for growing bananas is winter, so don't plant them in winter.

2. Density

The yield of banana is closely related to the planting density. if the planting density is small, then the land can not be fully utilized, but if the density is too high, the yield of banana is not high. therefore, we should carry out reasonable density planning according to the growth habits of bananas and the fertility of the soil. Planting in fertile soil is usually planted according to row spacing of three meters and plant spacing of about 2.8 meters. In relatively poor soil, the row spacing is generally 2.5 meters and the plant spacing is about 1.5 meters, and it is appropriate to plant about 130 to 260 plants per mu on average.

3. Fertilizer and water

Banana fertilization is mainly in accordance with the principle of frequent application of thin fertilizer and heavy application of base fertilizer. For young banana trees, we usually need to apply fertilizer every other week or so, mainly nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, while adult banana trees only need to be fertilized three or four times a year, mainly nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, in which the ratio of fertilizer is 1: 1: 4, but we also need appropriate amount of topdressing and dung ash to grow banana trees better. Both output and quality will be higher. As for the water management can be carried out at the same time when fertilizing, each watering should not be too large, keep the soil moisture at about 70%, at the same time, too much water in the field should be discharged in time, otherwise the plant is very easy to rot.

4. Soil

We all know that banana tree is a kind of unique fruit tree, its root system is relatively tender, so it is easy to be hurt, so we must be very careful when choosing soil. It is best to plant in the soil with better soil permeability, loose soil, more dry organic matter and humus, followed by alluvial plains and other places.

5. Wind power

The banana tree is relatively fragile, and the wind does great harm to it, so when we choose the planting site, we should choose the place of leeward or shelter as far as possible. This can fundamentally solve the problem of banana wind damage, but if the conditions do not permit, then we need to build a shelter wall around it, which can effectively prevent wind damage.

6. Disease

Although the banana tree is relatively fragile, its diseases and insect pests are still very few compared with other fruit trees. usually, scab and black spot occur occasionally, both of which are mainly the branches and leaves of good banana trees. we can prevent it by strengthening the density management and water and fertilizer management in the field, and we can use Dasheng 500x liquid and deserved 1000 times spray to prevent the disease.
