fig requirements for environmental conditions
Fig is a flowering plant of Moraceae, which is mainly distributed in some tropical areas and has a large planting area in some tropical provinces in the south of China. And now the market demand of figs in our country is increasing, and the planting area is naturally getting wider and wider. However, growing figs is not so simple, because figs have certain requirements on the environment. So what are the environmental conditions for fig planting? Let's take a look at it with the editor.
1. Soil
Figs are not strict with the soil and can grow normally on almost any soil. However, yield and fruit quality will still be affected. The deep, fertile, pest-free and alkaline soil is the most suitable for the growth of figs. And figs are very salt-tolerant, and their salt-alkali tolerance is among the best of all fruits. However, the growth of figs requires a lot of calcium, and the demand for calcium is very large, so we have to check the content of calcium in the soil when we choose the soil. If there is a lack of calcium, we can sprinkle an appropriate amount of lime in the soil to adjust.
2. Temperature
Fig tree is a kind of tropical deciduous fruit tree, which is suitable for growing in high temperature environment. Figs are very resistant to high temperature, and most varieties are not suitable to grow in a low temperature environment. Therefore, before planting, we should pay attention to the temperature changes around the planting land and the planting varieties. If the varieties are not tolerant to low temperature, they should not be planted outside the tropics. So if you want to plant in places where the temperature changes greatly, you must choose the planting varieties, such as Blanc, etc., otherwise it will lead to planting failure.
3. Moisture
Fig root absorptive capacity is very strong, the demand for water is not very large, planting in more dry places can also get a higher yield. In addition, figs also have a strong ability to resist waterlogging, but if the humidity is too high, the waterlogging damage is too serious. May lead to fruit cracking, fruit drop and other phenomena. Fig growth should not be too little water, too little, then the fruit quality will be seriously reduced. Therefore, in the process of planting, we must control moisture, ensure that the orchard can discharge and irrigate, create a good environment for the growth of fig trees, increase yield and enhance quality.
4. Lighting
As I just said, figs are tropical fruits, so figs have a great demand for light. When we plant, we should ensure that there is sufficient light. If the light is not enough, the leaves of the fig tree will be dim and the photosynthesis will decline, which will lead to a serious shortage of fruit nutrition accumulation and reduce fruit quality. And the growth of fruit trees will also be greatly affected, in serious cases, flower bud differentiation fails, resulting in unable to set fruit. Therefore, light is also an indispensable basic condition for growing figs.
The above is a brief introduction to the environmental conditions of fig growth. Figs cannot be planted in many places due to light and temperature, but depending on current planting technology, greenhouse technology can still be used in some non-tropical provinces. It just takes more manpower and material resources, so we should think carefully before planting. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only.
