Matters needing attention in planting pistachio

Pistachio is a kind of fruit with high nutritional value, its fruit is called pistachio because it looks like a human heart, and some fruits are shaped like persimmons, which can also be called Wu Feng persimmons. Its taste is sweet and delicious, trunk milk is still the raw material of chewing gum, and it has certain medicinal value. At present, it has been planted in all provinces and cities in the south of China. So what do you need to pay attention to when planting? Let's take a look.

1. Planting environment

The survival rate of the pistachio has a great relationship with its planting place. The pistachio is suitable to be planted in a sunny and warm environment, so the planting bottom requires that the temperature should not be too low or too high all the year round. It is best to choose leeward to the sun, deep soil, slightly higher terrain, good drainage, not low-lying water in the hills, slopes or mountains. After selecting the planting site, it is necessary to turn it deep into 25-30cm, combined with ploughing is to apply base fertilizer, fine and leveling in the rake.

2. Reasonable close planting

Generally, after raising seedlings, it will be planted in April-May in spring, and the planting is also related to the yield and quality of pistachios. Only reasonable close planting can improve the yield and quality and maximize the economic benefits. Under normal circumstances, 200-300 pistachio trees can be planted per mu, and their row spacing should be controlled at 1.5 m × 1.5 m. Only in this way can the permeability between plants be ensured, and trees can be planted per mu according to the actual situation.

3. Fertilizer and water management

Young trees are mainly vegetative after planting, and a lot of nutrients will be consumed every time. If the nutrients are insufficient, it is disadvantageous to its growth, so fertilizer should be applied in time before drawing new shoots. It is best to apply quick-acting fertilizer, which can speed up the shoot and expand the crown, while for fruiting trees, it is mainly organic fertilizer with continuous supply of nutrients, once after fruit harvest and once in spring and autumn, in order to improve the quality of fruit. In addition to fertilizing once, water is also extremely important, watering in time during drought and timely drainage in the rainy season to avoid stagnant water and rotting roots.

4. Artificial pollination

In order to improve the fruit setting rate of fruit trees, artificial pollination is also an important matter. generally, there are two forms of artificial pollination. One is the point method, that is, the collection of pollen from male flowers, which is time-consuming and labor-consuming when using tools to smear pollen on female flowers one by one, but the pollination rate is high, so it is suitable for planting on a small scale. There is also a method of spraying powder, which uses tools to spray the collected pollen on the female flowers, which is more efficient and has a good success rate, which is suitable for large-scale planting. It must be noted that pollination must be done on cloudy or sunny days from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
