Mulberry planting management technology

Mulberry is the fruit of mulberry, mulberry is very rich in nutrition and a variety of health care functions, delicious taste, has been very popular since ancient times. However, the traditional mulberry planting is mainly to raise silkworms with mulberry leaves, but now with the development of planting industry and people's demand for mulberry, the planting area of mulberry is becoming more and more extensive. So how to manage the planting of mulberry? The following editor brings you the management technology of mulberry, let's have a look!

1. Shaping and pruning

It is usually necessary to cut the height of the plant about 25 cm before planting, and pick the heart in time when the new shoot grows to about 18 cm, so as to promote the germination of lateral branches and increase the crown area. In June of the second year of planting, when the mulberry is ripe, summer pruning will begin. Each fruiting mother branch retained about 3 buds, and then truncated to promote the germination of new shoots. Cut off all the branches of summer growth, diseases and insect pests in winter. But to retain an appropriate amount of fruit mother branch, cut off the top of the branch about 18 centimeters of the growth is not full.

2. Wiping sprouts and picking hearts

Wiping the bud and picking the heart should be carried out according to the age of the tree. As a result, the fruit trees of more than two years will wipe off the adventitious buds on the trunk and the weak buds at the base of the fruiting mother branch at the end of March every year. The growth of fruit trees is often observed and the coring begins when there are about 5 new leaves at the top of the fruiting mother branch. The specific time to pick the heart is determined according to the planting area and the age of the tree, but it is usually after the Qingming Festival. At this time, coring is beneficial to promote the vegetative growth of fruit trees to reproductive growth, promote the light absorption of fruit trees, improve the yield of mulberry and enhance the quality of mulberry.

3. Water and fertilizer management

The demand for water and fertilizer of mulberry is relatively large, especially in the budding period of spring and summer, if there is a shortage of water in these two periods, it is necessary to replenish water in time. Otherwise, the growth ability of new buds is weak, and it is easy to cause diseases and insect pests, which will have a serious impact on the growth of mulberry. Then apply enough base fertilizer in winter every year, control the amount of fertilizer, mainly farm manure, reduce the proportion of chemical fertilizer. After each pruning, available nitrogen fertilizer should be applied properly, and foliar fertilizer should be properly sprayed at flowering stage and young fruit stage to increase fruit sugar content, promote fruit growth and improve fruit quality.

4. Timely harvest

Mulberry harvest is also a certain skill, under normal circumstances, mulberries usually mature around May every year. Observe the changes of the fruit, when the color of the fruit gradually changes from red to purple, and the surface luster is transparent, it shows that the fruit is almost ripe. When harvesting, we should pay attention to the harvest method and handle it gently to avoid breaking the skin, causing damage to the fruit and reducing the storability. Should be packed with plastic boxes after harvest, and should be listed in time after harvest, because mulberries are relatively fragile, so to avoid injury, they should be listed as soon as possible.

The above is a brief introduction of mulberry planting management technology, mulberry planting is relatively simple, but because there are many mulberry diseases and insect pests, it is necessary to do a good job in the prevention and management of diseases and insect pests in the planting process.
