How to improve the fruit setting rate of red bayberry

Sweet and sour red bayberry is welcomed by many people, and the nutritional value of red bayberry is very high. And bayberry juice and bayberry wine derived from bayberry are very popular in the market. Therefore, now the planting area of red bayberry is getting larger and larger, when fruit growers are planting bayberry, the first problem is how to improve the fruit setting rate. So what exactly should be done? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Scientific fertilization

Fertilization is the key measure to provide adequate nutrition for red bayberry. We should not only apply sufficient base fertilizer before planting, but also topdressing according to the growth of bayberry trees. When topdressing, we should pay attention to control the location of fertilization and the proportion of nutrients in the fertilizer. While ensuring to meet the nutrition of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, we should also pay attention to supplement the appropriate amount of trace elements to meet the nutritional needs of the growth of red bayberry. And the fertilization method should be adjusted reasonably according to the growth stage of red bayberry, because the fertilizer requirements of red bayberry are different at different stages, so we must pay more attention to it.

2. Fruit tree management

When planting bayberry, an excellent management method is the key to determine the fruit setting rate of bayberry. Therefore, when planting, we must do a good job in management, control the amount of fertilizer and irrigation, and do a good job in ploughing and weeding, and so on. In particular, it is necessary to do a good job in pruning and adjust the pruning method reasonably according to the growth of red bayberry. Open the crown of bayberry to improve the permeability of bayberry. Cutting off some overlong, overdense and overlapping branches can effectively improve the fruit setting rate of bayberry, so as to further increase the yield and expand the planting benefit.

3. Reasonable flower promotion

For bayberry trees over five years old, appropriate soil fertilization or spraying foliar fertilizer such as paclobutrazol to promote flowers. It should be noted that the weak growth of red bayberry less than five years old can not be used. When paclobutrazol is applied to the soil, the time is usually from October to March, first peeling off the topsoil of the bayberry tree, and then sprinkling paclobutrazol into the tree plate, and then covering the soil. When applying foliar fertilizer, the growing strong trees that have not yet set fruit are sprayed when the shoot is about 5 cm high in spring and summer.

4. Pollination to protect fruit

In order to improve the fruit setting rate of red bayberry, we spray gibberellin once after the full bloom or flower withering, which can significantly improve the fruit setting rate of red bayberry. Because bayberry is a kind of cross-pollinated crop, if there is an imbalance between male and female trees in the orchard, or if there are not enough male trees, then when it is cloudy and sunny, cut off some male branches and hang them on the mother tree. Finally, we also need to do a good job in fruit protection, some varieties have a serious fruit drop phenomenon before mature harvest, so we spray some anti-falling element 2-3 weeks before harvest, which can effectively reduce fruit drop phenomenon.

The above is a brief introduction to how to improve the fruit setting rate of bayberry. The fruit setting rate of bayberry is directly related to the yield, so we must pay attention to the management and protect our planting benefit. That's all for today's introduction.
