Cultivation techniques of Golden Fruit

Golden fruit, also known as milk eggplant, five-finger eggplant, etc., is a kind of fruit belonging to Solanaceae. There is a certain planting area in the south of our country, and the shape of the golden fruit has about five prominent things, similar to human fingers. However, the golden fruit should not be eaten too much, mainly for garden ornamental and medicinal purposes. So how to cultivate the golden fruit? The following editor brings you the cultivation techniques of golden fruit, let's have a look!

1. Land selection and preparation

The growth ability of golden fruit is relatively strong, although it can grow normally in all kinds of soil, we still have to choose soft and transparent soil with normal drainage and irrigation when planting. Only in this way can we ensure the normal growth of the golden fruit, and the golden fruit does not require much PH value of the soil. However, it will vary according to the change of planting area. For example, it is sour in the south and slightly alkaline in the north, and the previous crop of the soil should not be Solanaceae. Prevent from causing repeated crop diseases and insect pests, avoid affecting the growth of golden fruits, and protect their own economic benefits of planting.

2. Sowing seeds at the right time

The planting method of golden fruit is mainly sowing, and the seeds are extracted from the fruit which is full and succulent, smooth and bright and free from diseases and insect pests after the fruit is ripe. Then wash the seeds with clean water, wash the residual pulp and mucus, air-dry them, and store them in a dry and ventilated place. Then sow in March-April, sowing should not be too deep, its depth should not exceed 1 cm, because the top soil ability of golden fruit seed is very poor. If it is too deep, it is difficult to emerge seedlings, keep the soil moist after sowing, do a good job of shading at the seedling stage, gradually increase the light time with the growth, and start planting when the seedlings grow to about 16 centimeters.

3. Water and fertilizer management

Golden fruit likes fertilizer and water, so the management of water and fertilizer in the process of golden fruit growth is very important. During the golden fruit growing period, fertilizer should be applied every half a month or so. Then in the bud stage of the plant, it is mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to provide sufficient nutrition and improve the rate of flowering and fruiting. Keep the soil moist in spring and properly control watering to prevent the decrease of soil temperature and affect the growth of golden fruit. Properly cover the plastic film to promote the nutrient absorption of the root. Then it should be watered in time after entering the growth period, especially in summer and autumn and other seasons.

4. Field management

The growth of golden fruit is sensitive to the change of temperature. the most suitable temperature in the growth period is about 20 degrees, and the temperature control should be raised to 25-30 degrees during the fruit-hanging period. Then do a good job in overwintering management, when overwintering to ensure that the greenhouse temperature is not less than 10 degrees. At the same time of controlling the temperature, we should also do a good job of pruning according to the golden fruit plant. when the plant grows to about 35 cm, it should be properly coring to promote the growth of lateral branches and improve the rate of flowering and fruiting. Then wipe off the excess branches and retain an appropriate amount of branches to improve the ornamental value of the golden fruit plant.

The above is a brief introduction to the cultivation techniques of golden fruit, the cultivation of golden fruit is relatively simple, and the incidence of diseases and insect pests is low. However, we still need to do a good job in field management, and we should know that the golden fruit is not mainly edible, and we should not eat too much, so this is a problem that we need to pay attention to when planting. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
