Cultivation techniques of blueberry

Blueberry is a kind of Ericaceae plant, although it watered blueberry, in fact, its shape and ordinary orange has no similarities. Blueberry fruit crisp and juicy, containing a variety of nutrients needed by the human body. And blueberry leaves can also be dried for tea, has a certain medicinal value. So how do you plant blueberries now? Today, Xiaobian brought you the cultivation technology of blueberry. Let's take a look at it together!

1. Land selection and preparation

Blueberry suitable for living in acidic soil, and in fertility, soil loose deep, rich in organic humus soil, yield has significantly improved. Planting plots need sufficient water, and leeward sunny, pay attention to the number of surrounding trees, too many trees will block the sunshine of blueberry, affecting the growth of blueberry. After selecting the land, it is necessary to remove the roots of previous crops in the soil in time to reduce germs. And in order to ensure the normal growth of blueberry, weeds should be cleaned up before planting, and then apply sufficient base fertilizer before sowing.

2. Timely planting

After selecting and preparing the land, planting in time according to the change of weather, controlling the planting density, in order to ensure the yield of blueberry, appropriate dense planting can be carried out. Generally, the best planting time is around the beginning of spring every year, which can ensure sufficient moisture in winter, so it can also be planted in autumn and winter. When planting backfill soil, add proper amount of bark, sawdust and other substances to improve soil fertility. And pay attention to improve the acidity of the soil, if the acidity is insufficient, a small amount of sulfuric acid can be mixed in the soil.

3. Timely topdressing

Blueberry for fertilizer demand is not very large, moderate or so, too much fertilizer not only can not promote the growth of blueberries, but also will have a certain impact. Especially after planting seedlings must not apply nitrogen fertilizer, because seedlings are very sensitive to nitrogen fertilizer. Therefore, we should try to apply as little fertilizer as possible in the first year of planting, even if the base fertilizer is sufficient, we can not apply fertilizer. When the soil fertility is high and the soil PH value is suitable, a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer can be applied, but nitrate nitrogen fertilizer cannot be used. It should be noted that no matter when fertilization is applied, fertilizer cannot be applied directly to the roots of bilberry to prevent burning.

4. Shaping and pruning

After planting, we should do a good job of shaping and pruning according to the growth of blueberry in time. In 1-2 years or so, in order to promote the development of young blueberry trees, we should remove the flower buds on the young trees in time. Then the second year can start to leave fruit, but pay attention to the number of fruits left, not too much, otherwise the tree body can not bear, resulting in fruit drop. And to the lower horizontal growth branches, excessive long branches, dead branches, old branches and other useless branches cut off. These branches not only fail to bear fruit, but also consume too much nutrition and increase planting costs.

That's all for today's introduction. The blueberry market is developing now, and there is a certain market demand for blueberries, so people who want to grow them can consider it!
