Pruning techniques of peach trees in summer

In the period of vigorous growth of fruit trees in summer, and peach is also a fruit in great demand in the market, peach planting is favored by many fruit growers, and in peach planting management, pruning is more important, especially in summer pruning, if it is not pruned properly, it is very likely to create a vicious circle. So how to trim peach trees in summer? In particular, let's take a look.

1. Erase buds

To erase buds is to erase excess buds from peach trees. Generally speaking, the main method of erasing buds for days is to remove or cut off the sprouting tillers of the trunk, the plastic belt of the main branches and about 15% of the base of the main branches, and the buds and shoots that grow side by side with the main branches, so as to save the nutrient consumption of the plant and promote the flower bud differentiation.

2. Pick the heart

The role of coring is to control the growth of peach trees and create good conditions for peach branch growth. It is recommended to keep about 20 cm when coring is chosen. If the length is too short, it is very easy to stimulate a large number of shoots in the lower buds, resulting in excessive growth and excessive nutrient consumption, which is not conducive to fruit growth and development. If it is less than 30cm, there is no need to pick the heart, just remove the tender tip of the front and let it suspend and extend forward.

3. Pruning

The principle of pruning is similar to that of coring, and it needs to be long and short. for new shoots that grow too densely or do not pick coring in time, the length of pruning is about 30 centimeters. it has achieved the purpose of restraining forced growth, promoting weak branch growth, enriching inner chamber and balancing tree potential.

4. Quzhi

The twig should not be forced too hard, otherwise the branch will be broken or the bark will be broken, giving the germs an opportunity to fix the lower part with the left hand, hold the upper part with the right hand and gently rub it until the xylem is soft. bend the upper end to the gap to make it flat or drooping. The operating position is generally about 10-15 cm away from the base of the new shoot.

5. Spraying growth regulators

In May-June and September, the overgrowing fruit trees were sprayed with paclobutrazol 200-300 times, and do not water within a week after spraying. This can not only play a role in controlling prosperity, promoting flower bud growth, but also promoting fruit growth and development, and preventing fruit cracking.
