1. Planting environment

Citrus has strong adaptability and can grow normally in most of the soil. But artificial planting is generally suitable for soil rich in humus, normal drainage and irrigation, permeable, soft and well-structured soil. This can ensure the amount of flowers and fruits of sugar orange, which is sensitive to the change of temperature in the process of growth. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure a suitable temperature around the planting area, and pay attention to controlling humidity, moisture and so on. It is necessary to ensure that sugar orange has a good growth environment and improve the economic benefits of sugar orange cultivation.

2. Selection and planting

The varieties of citrus should choose the varieties with strong disease resistance, high yield and good quality. Before planting, the roots of the seedlings should be unfolded and put into the planting pit. Then tread lightly while filling the soil, and then pour enough water to set the root. Then cover the weed film around the planting pit to improve the heat preservation and moisture retention capacity of the soil. It should be watered once a day for three days after planting, and once a week according to the weather after about 7 days. Then open in March is topdressing, promote sugar orange trees to form a crown, fertilization should pay attention to the amount, not too much, to prevent prosperous growth, mainly to more than a small amount.

3. Young tree management

It is a young tree stage after planting until the first flowering. The young tree period of sugar orange is generally about one and a half years. In the young tree stage, it is necessary to do a good job of topdressing and increase the proportion of nutrition. Promote the growth and development of the crown and root of the sugar orange tree. After planting, pruning should be done according to the tree structure, and about 5 short branches should be retained on each main branch.
