Cultivation techniques of jujube

Red jujube, also known as jujube, belongs to the genus Rhamnaceae. Red jujube is very rich in vitamins and is very popular in our country. Red jujube is used to cook porridge and soup, but also has a high medicinal value. Many people think that red dates are processed, but in fact, red dates are cultivated, and the dried dates seen in the market are just dried dates after drying the water. So how to cultivate red jujube? Today's editor brings you the cultivation techniques of red jujube, let's have a look!

1. Planting method

Proper planting ponds should be dug before planting, and attention should be paid to separating the topsoil from the subsoil when digging the planting ponds. Then put an appropriate amount of green manure and farm manure in the planting pond and then backfill the soil, which is 20-35 cm higher than the ground. Dig the planting hole when planting, put the seedlings into the center of the planting hole, and then fill the soil, pay attention to fill while stepping on the filling. After filling the soil, make a round tree plate along the seedlings and cover the plastic film to improve the soil fertility and water retention. When planting, we should pay attention to the planting density to prevent the seedlings from affecting each other's growth and reduce the yield.

2. Fertilizer and water management

After successful planting, it is necessary to do a good job in the fertilizer and water management of the orchard, promote the absorption of water and nutrients of seedlings, and enhance the ability of precocious growth. Half a month before jujube germination in spring, appropriate amount of urea and water should be applied under each young tree to promote the germination and emergence of young trees. Jujube has a large tree shape and many fruits, so the demand for water and fertilizer in the growth process is relatively large. Therefore, we should apply fertilizer at least once a month after the young trees germinate, and water them properly according to the water content of the soil and the growth of jujube trees. When topdressing, we should pay attention to the concentration and position of topdressing, so as not to hurt the roots of jujube trees and hinder the growth of jujube trees.

3. Shaping and pruning

As I just said, the shape of the jujube tree is relatively large, if the jujube tree is not shaped and allowed to grow during the growth process. There may be some problems affecting the growth of jujube trees, such as excessive growth of branches, closure of fruit trees and so on. Therefore, we should prune reasonably according to the growth of jujube trees, and cut off the sprouting tillers and redundant branches of the roots in time after planting. Rational use of growth regulators to control the growth of external and top branches and the use of nitrogen fertilizer to prevent the phenomenon of vigorous growth. But do not use too much, otherwise it may stop the growth of jujube, resulting in unable to blossom and bear fruit.

4. Reasonable intercropping

The planting distance between jujube trees is relatively large, resulting in a large part of the waste of land resources, in order to make full use of land and improve the utilization rate of land. We can interplant reasonably in the orchard, but to select intercropping plants, we cannot choose tall plants such as corn. Because the nutritional needs of tall plants are larger, they will not only rob jujube trees for nutrition, but also block the sun of jujube trees because they are too high. Therefore, intercropping plants are best to choose legume crops, can also plant green manure, so that not only make full use of the land, reduce weeds, but also turn into the soil as natural farm manure after maturity to provide adequate nutrition for jujube trees.

The above is a brief introduction of red jujube cultivation techniques, red jujube is very common in our life. And because the red jujube is rich in nutrition, its market demand is also very large, but it should be noted that because the cultivation area of red jujube is getting larger and larger, and the output is more and more, so the competitiveness is big, and the market price is gradually declining. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
