Key points of management of peach trees in spring

When the temperature warms up in spring, Rain Water is abundant, just entering the sprouting, flowering and fruit-setting period. the management of this stage is related to the yield and quality in the later stage and directly affects the income of fruit farmers. So how to manage peach trees in spring? Let's take a look at the detailed introduction.

1. Topdressing

In March, the temperature rebounded and stabilized, and peach trees entered the sprouting, flowering and shoot growth periods, all of which consumed a lot of nutrients. Therefore, in order to meet the nutrients needed for the growth and development of peach trees, topdressing should be applied in time, especially for fruit trees with weak growth last year or fruit trees with higher yield, nitrogen fertilizer can be applied properly before budding, which can promote plant growth and development and fruit setting. And for the more prosperous plants can not be applied, so as not to cause fruit trees to grow, which is not conducive to blossom and fruit setting.

2. Flower thinning and anti-freezing

The temperature warms up in spring, but there will still be cold in late spring. The sudden low temperature will cause frost damage to peach trees, which is disadvantageous to its flowering and affect the fruit setting rate, so it is necessary to take good anti-freezing measures before and after flowering. You can spray chemicals before and after flowering. In addition, for the varieties with high fruit setting rate, the flowers can be thinned from bud stage to early flowering stage, too dense and basal flowers can be thinned, which can save nutrient consumption, concentrate nutrients and improve fruit setting rate.

3. Weeding and loosening the soil

The temperature rebounded in spring, which is also a period of recovery of all things. in addition to peach trees sprouting and blooming, weeds in the garden also begin to grow vigorously, which will seize the nutrients of peach trees and provide a breeding place for diseases and insect pests. Therefore, it is necessary to weed and loosen the soil in time, which can not only reduce weeds and trees to seize nutrients, reduce diseases and insect pests, but also increase soil permeability, help to reduce ground humidity, increase low temperature, and promote root growth and development.

4. Pest control

Spring is also a period of recovery of diseases and insect pests. In March, emphasis should be placed on the control of scale insects. If the harm of scale insects was serious last year, scale mites could be sprayed throughout the garden to control the disease. In order to prevent the disease, stone-sulfur mixture could be sprayed throughout the country. In April, we should focus on the prevention and control of aphids and perforation, especially before and after peach sprouting, once aphids are found, spray imidacloprid in time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the gummy disease caused by other diseases. After the peach tree blossoms, the diseased leaves can be removed manually and the overwintering larvae of other insect pests can be killed.
