Time and method of girdling of pomegranate trees

In the process of pomegranate planting, pomegranate will be continuously shaped and pruned, which can achieve high yield and quality, and girdling is a commonly used pruning method during pomegranate growth. If the time of girdling is different, its purpose is also different. for example, girdling in May can increase the fruit setting rate of pomegranate, while girdling in July can speed up flower bud differentiation and achieve the purpose of promotion. But girdling also requires certain skills and methods, otherwise it is easy to lead to plant death, so let's take a look at the girdling technology of pomegranate trees.

1. Girdling time

The time of girdling is mainly in summer and can be carried out from May to July. This stage is the growth period of pomegranate and can recover quickly after girdling. When entering August, the temperature began to drop, pomegranate trees in the ring peeling, the wound caused by ring peeling is not suitable to heal, easy to be disturbed by bacteria, thus affecting the later growth, it is strictly forbidden to be girdled.

2. The object of girdling

Girdling should also pay attention to the object, not all trees and areas are suitable for girdling, and some plants are weak in growth. if girdling is carried out, it will lead to the formation of a large number of buds, which will consume not much nutrients and lead to premature senescence and death of plants. Therefore, the object of girdling is generally the tree body with too strong tree potential and luxuriant leaves, mainly peeling its trunk, main branch, side branch and auxiliary branch. its main purpose is to control its flower growth and promote its flower bud formation.

3. Ring peeling method

In girdling, we should pay attention to the width of the wound, not too wide or too narrow, too wide wound does not heal, too narrow, the healing time is too early, will reduce the role of girdling, the general width is 1/10 or 1/15 of the periphery vinegar. First of all, the trunk is girdled, and at 10-20cm on the ground, where the bark is smooth and smooth, cut the trunk around with a knife to reach the depth of xylem, and then cut across the top according to the width to peel off the bark. Using the same method, other parts are girdled.

4. Wound protection

After girdling, the wound should be protected in time to avoid the invasion of germs, and the wound can be bandaged with a newspaper or plastic film, because the wound healing of the pomegranate must be in a dark environment to heal normally, if exposed to the sun, it will cause the wound to not heal normally, and in serious cases it will lead to plant death.

5. Post-peeling management

After pomegranate ring peeling, as long as the wound is handled properly, it will generally heal completely after one month, then it is necessary to remove the newspaper or plastic film bandaging the wound in time, which is conducive to the growth of the tree trunk. If the wound is too wide or too deep because of the improper time of anti-girdling.

And prevent excessive peeling of branches so that the wound does not heal in the inner sea in January, we should continue to bandage it in time. And strengthen fertilizer and water management to promote its recovery, when the number of flowers is large, it can appropriately thinning flowers, reduce nutrient consumption and maintain growth.
