Cherry seedling raising technique

Cherry is a kind of fruit with high price in the market, but its market demand is very high and has been in short supply. This is because of this, led to the cherry artificial planting boom, which also promoted the development of cherry seedlings. So today, let's have a simple understanding of the breeding techniques of calicot.

1. Seedling site selection and consolidation

The cherry nursery ground is generally flat, but with a certain slope, but the slope is generally not higher than five degrees, so the seedling land is convenient for drainage. The second is that the soil quality of the seedling land should be loose, so it is better to be sandy loam, such as the soil prone to land consolidation or the soil with high stickiness is not suitable for seedling cultivation. In addition, the previous cherry or cherry had better not be used to raise seedlings, it is easy to get sick. Three thousand jin of soil fertilizer was applied before soil preparation, then deep ploughing was carried out, the soil and fertilizer were fully mixed, and finally leveled, the ditch was opened, and a high border about one meter wide was made.

2. Seedling raising method

There are many ways to raise cherry seedlings, but the editor here is just a simple introduction to you. The first is the traditional seed nursery, in which the seeds are evenly scattered in the nursery ground, covered with soil to cover the seeds, and watered for emergence. The second is split-plant propagation, which is a commonly used cherry seedling raising method at present, which mainly uses the way of striping to raise seedlings, select strong cherry branches, pile soil strips or horizontal strips, and wait for cherry branches to grow new roots to transplant seedlings. There is cutting seedlings, this method is also very simple, first of all, to select a strong cherry, good quality branches, cut the branches into about 15 centimeters, soaked with rooting agents, the cuttings can be inserted into the nursery ground. The last is grafting, which needs to select cherry rootstocks and scions, and then use branch grafting or bud grafting.

3. Seedling stage management

Different seedling raising methods of cherry so its management in the seedling stage is also different. For seed breeding, we need to keep the soil moist in the field to avoid stagnant water in the seedling field. After the emergence of cherries, topdressing is good if there is not enough fertility. The management is very simple. Pressing seedlings is also very simple, we only need to pay attention to whether the branches are compacted, if there is no compaction, adjust, and fix the branches at the same time. Cutting seedlings need to pay attention to water management in the field, in the seedling period, do not need too much watering, so as to avoid cutting branches rot, but also can not appear dry, because this will lead to branches dry. The most troublesome thing is the grafting management, do not water within 20 days after grafting, at the same time, it is best to pay attention to shelter from the rain, do not have water intrusion. The second is to fertilize the new buds after germination to promote the growth of branches and leaves, and then it can be watered. Finally, you have to wait for the new cherry branch to grow to about ten centimeters before you can untie it.

At present, the planting scale of cherry is still expanding, which means that the demand for cherry seedlings is also increasing, so we should constantly improve the seedling technology, so as to improve the quality of cherry seedlings.
