Flowering management techniques of Chaenomeles sinensis

Papaya is familiar to us, it has a wide range of uses, the plant can be used as an ornamental tree, the fruit can be eaten as fruit, the whole plant can be used as medicine, and its nutritional value, medicinal value and economic value are very high. In cultivation, the florescence management of papaya is very important, its florescence affects its fruit setting rate, and is closely related to the yield. So how to manage the flowering period of papaya? Let's take a look.

1. Fertilization

In order to ensure that the fruit has enough reasons to grow, fertilizer must be applied during the flowering period, especially after the flower fade, which means that the fruit begins to grow, and nutrients must be maintained. At this time, fertilizer can be applied nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, but fertilization should be moderate, not excessive, if excessive fertilization will affect fruit growth. Fertilization is generally calculated according to the size of the plant, about 250-500 grams per plant, and the fertilizer can be dissolved by watering after fertilization to speed up the absorption of the plant.

2. Release bees and pollinate

Papaya can self-flower and bear fruit, but in order to improve the fruit setting rate, we must rely on cross-pollination, which is beneficial to the fruit setting rate, and the fruit quality is better. Beehives can be placed in the garden in hot weather, so you can rely on bees for pollination, generally 1-2 boxes of bees per hectare, not too much or too little. Too much will affect the planting personnel, too little is not conducive to the transmission of points, to grasp the degree, according to the actual situation to increase or decrease the beehive.

3. Artificial assisted pollination

Artificial pollination can also be carried out, which is mainly aimed at papaya varieties with low fruit setting rate, these varieties have low self-pollination rate and low yield, so artificial pollination should be carried out. Pollination is to carefully take out the pollen of papaya, do not hurt the buds, store after drying, pollination is to use a brush to point the pollen on the blooming style. Pollen can also be mixed into pollen liquid and sprayed carefully with a sprayer, which can also achieve the purpose of pollination, which is suitable for large-scale planting.

4. Thinning flowers and fruits

Flower thinning should be carried out at the stage of inflorescence protruding and bud separation, which takes a week to operate. When thinning flowers, the thin inflorescences that are too many and too dense can be thinned out according to the spacing, and the strong inflorescences can be kept at certain intervals. This avoids the consumption of nutrients by thin inflorescences, so that more nutrients supply robust inflorescence growth, so that the fruit has more nutrients, the growth is more robust. The same is true in the fruit period, thinning out the overgrown achenes, which can increase the yield of the plant and increase the economic benefits.
