How to prevent bayberry from falling fruit

Red bayberry is a kind of fruit that many people like to eat very much, and it has a great market demand in our country. Waxberry not only has a huge market, but also its market price is only increasing every year. However, when planting bayberry, the fruit drop often occurs, resulting in a serious decline in yield. So what is the main reason for the fruit drop of bayberry? How to prevent bayberry from falling fruit? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

First, the cause of fruit drop

1. Branch growth

The branch growth of red bayberry is directly related to the flower and fruit setting of red bayberry. After entering the flowering stage, the spring shoots begin to grow, and the growth is relatively strong. At this time, the growth direction of bayberry is the symbiosis of reproduction and nutrition. If it is not dealt with in time, the new shoots will rob the nutrition of flowers and young fruits. Lead to insufficient nutrition in the growth of flowers and fruits, resulting in a large number of falling flowers and fruits. Therefore, if the more spring shoots grow, the lower the fruit setting rate will be, and in serious cases, it will lead to all fruit drop.

2. Species of red bayberry

There are many varieties of red bayberry in our country now, and the growth characteristics will naturally be different with different varieties. Of course, there are also some varieties that lead to the drop of flowers and fruits. And the growth of bayberry tree also has a lot to do with its flower and fruit sitting. For example, if the young bayberry grows strongly, it will rob the nutrition of the flower and fruit development of red bayberry because of the growth demand, and its fruit setting rate will naturally be much lower than that of adult trees. And the phenomenon of falling flowers and fruits will also occur when the growth of bayberry trees is too weak due to various factors such as management, diseases and insect pests and weather.

II. Prevention and control methods

1. Pay attention to avoiding the rain

The mature period of red bayberry is usually in the period of heavy rain in summer. At this time, high temperature and humidity can easily lead to fruit drop, so if we start to protect ourselves from the rain about two weeks before picking, it can effectively reduce fruit drop. When giving red bayberry shelter from the rain, choose a reasonable film mulching method according to its own conditions, such as scaffolding film mulching, simple membrane umbrella and direct mulching. After covering the film, pay attention to fixing the film to avoid being blown away by the wind. And the top of the crown should keep a certain distance from the middle branches, leaves and fruits to improve the permeability of fruit trees and avoid sunburn.

2. Timely harvest

Timely harvest can effectively prevent some raw and ripe bayberry from falling. According to past planting experience, if the phenomenon of fruit drop is more serious, then we can harvest in advance. Usually, the maturity time and harvest time of red bayberry will be different according to the planting area. If the same bayberry tree has different maturity time, it should be harvested in batches and be carried out in time after maturity. Finally, for some varieties with serious fruit drop, we should properly spray some anti-falling hormone, but we should pay attention to control the dosage to avoid drug damage.

The above is a brief introduction to how to prevent bayberry from falling fruit. There are many reasons for the fruit drop of bayberry, but some of them are caused by our mismanagement, so we must pay more attention to it. That's all for today's introduction.
