Planting method of kumquat

Kumquat is a kind of citrus, commonly known as small orange, but kumquat is very different from other oranges. Its pericarp can be eaten directly or used in medicine. It is a healthy fruit and is commonly cultivated in the south. But there is also a certain market prospect in the north. The price is better and the economic benefit is higher. In the specific planting, how to operate it? Let's go and have a look now.

First, select seeds

In the year before last, we can plant fruits with large and full harvest, glossy skin color, normal, disease-free fruit as a seed choice. Plane the fruit, remove all the seeds and rinse the mucus with alkaline water. Then the dry flat, incomplete seeds will be removed. Air-dry the full seeds and you can sow them.

Second, choose an orchard

It is best to plant the garden on a wide plain or on a small slope. The soil layer is required to be loose and deep, some gravel can be added to increase the soil permeability, and the poor soil can be improved and fertilized before planting. Harvesting and transportation, seedling transportation should be convenient, and finally there are traffic roads. Ploughing the whole garden before sowing, you can establish planting ridges, which are generally about 5 centimeters, and the ditches do not need to be set aside specially.

III. Planting methods and management

1. Sowing and fertilization

Seeds are usually sown in spring and autumn, from March to April in spring and from October to November in autumn. It is best to plant in spring with a high survival rate. About 70% of the base fertilizer needed for the whole year is applied before planting, and the fertilizer is generally made from crop straw and grain husks after disinfection and decay. Generally speaking, strip-furrow fertilization is carried out. Direct sowing or on-demand sowing, strip sowing is OK, after sowing, it should be watered and covered with hay to maintain humidity. Pseudo-planting is needed when the seedling emerges to about 20 cm. Apply light fertilizer and water frequently before emergence. Satisfy the seed germination. Topdressing fertilizer in real time after emergence, but the concentration should not be too high, causing root damage. At this time, you can pull out weeds to avoid striving for fertilizer. In the future, we will see that the soil is moist, fertile and fertile.

3. Survive

Check the emergence rate in time after emergence, and you can reseed. If you are susceptible to the disease, you should also spray in time for prevention and treatment. Maintain upright growth, pruning bifurcations grow, and so on when the false plant grows to 80 cm high, it can be transplanted in the field. Transplanting with about 30 cm soil ball, the planting pit is twice the depth and width of the soil ball, straight planting, fixed root fertilizer and water to observe the survival.

The above content mainly talks about the whole planting process of kumquat from sowing to seedling growth and transplanting, recalling whether the actual planting situation is the same? Better planting methods can be selected for comparison.
