How to plant longan with high yield

Longan is what we call longan, it is a typical tropical fruit, but also a very popular fruit in the market. Whether it is fresh longan or dried longan, their market sales are quite good. In recent years, the planting area of longan in China is expanding, trial planting has been carried out in many places, and the results of planting are also very obvious. The following is the editor to show you how to make longan productive.

1. Select excellent varieties

The most basic condition of longan planting is the selection of seedlings. If the quality of longan seedlings is high, the survival rate and late yield will be much higher. At present, there are more and more varieties of longan in our country, so we have to choose the right varieties according to the local topography, soil, climate and other conditions. For example, Dongguan No. 3, Liangqing No. 1, Green Shell Baoyuan and other varieties are all very good. After selecting the variety, we need to select high-quality seedlings, generally choose seedlings with developed roots, strong vitality, uniform size and well-developed branches.

2. Scientific land preparation

Longan has higher requirements for planting land, which is one of the reasons why longan can not be planted in many places in our country at present. Longan planting land should choose sunny areas with fertile soil, good drainage, high groundwater level, convenient transportation and good water conservancy conditions. Then is the land preparation and afforestation, the general growers are using the way of hole reclamation for land preparation. However, if the land is not cultivated all the year round, then we had better carry out full reclamation, which can reduce the late field operation and the infection of diseases and insect pests. Then dig the planting hole according to the length, width, and height of 60 cm, and the hole is 80 cm deep. Add about 40 cm of farm manure to the hole clock as base fertilizer, and finally cover it with a thin layer of soil.

3. Cultivation and management

The branches and leaves of the selected longan seedlings can be planted only after reasonable pruning. When planting, the roots of longan seedlings should be completely stretched, and then the seedlings should be righted by hand, and then backfilled with soil. After filling the soil back, the ground should be compacted and watered. However, it is important to note that when compacting the soil, do not use a hoe or other tools, but only with your feet.

4. Branch and leaf management

After longan trees are planted, in order to promote the growth of young trees and form a complete tree shape as soon as possible, we should constantly prune branches and leaves. After the longan tree enters the fruiting period, branch and leaf pruning is also very necessary, which is of great help to improve the yield of longan. In general, we remove withered branches, old branches, disease and insect branches, weak branches, dense branches and sterile branches to cultivate new fruiting mother branches.

5. Flower and fruit management

During the period of longan blooming and fruiting, we should also manage it scientifically so as to ensure the output and quality of longan. In the early flowering stage of longan, we should carry out topdressing to prolong the florescence of longan and improve the green rate of pollination of longan. In the full bloom of longan, we should pick out some residual flowers, weak flowers, disease and insect flowers to improve the fruit setting rate of longan. After the longan sits, we need to remove the weak fruit, the long dense fruit and the abnormal fruit to improve the quality of longan and fertilize it in the later stage to promote the growth of the fruit.

Today, the editor would like to share with you about the high-yield longan planting process and methods, so much for this. Under normal circumstances, if we plant according to the above process, basically there will not be too much problem. Of course, if you want to know more about longan, then remember to follow us.
