Cultivation techniques of Ziziphus jujuba

Taiwan green jujube is also called Indian jujube, because it is native to India, and now it is cultivated after many generations of cultivation, and this kind of jujube can be used by the whole tree. The development prospect of this kind of fruit is good. The cultivation of specific techniques has to go through some processes, during which there are also many problems to pay attention to. Let's start to introduce them to you now.

First, choose a place to build a garden

Choose a wide, high hillside to plant deep, fertile, loose sandy loam. Sometimes the conditions for building a garden in such a place are not so good, as long as there is no sand and low-lying land with water.

2. Planting

The planting distance is generally more than 6 meters, and the row spacing is about 5 meters. Because the tree grows fast and has strong branches, the interval is relatively wide in order not to affect the growth. Planting should not be too dense, growth will be hindered, management is not convenient, growth is poor. Base fertilizer should be applied for planting, including 30 jin of farm manure, 1 jin of compound fertilizer, 1 jin of calcium fertilizer, 0.4 jin of magnesium fertilizer and 0.0251 kg of boron fertilizer. Cover the grass after planting to prevent the sun and evaporate water.

Third, fertilization and water control

Fast growth, high consumption, need to apply more fertilizer, mainly to apply more base fertilizer, more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before flowering, the base fertilizer can use poultry fertilizer, but it is best to use mild compost. About 1200 jin per mu, plus 50 jin of compound fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer, as a result, the main application of compound fertilizer, after picking to supplement nitrogen fertilizer, promote shoots. Watering throughout the growing period is usually watered when the soil is dry, about once a week, sometimes twice a week. It is mainly watered in the fruit period, and the water content should be maintained at 60% all the time.

4. Pruning

Young trees are mainly shaped in the first year of planting, followed by pruning, and adult tree pruning is mainly divided into summer pruning and winter pruning. After the young tree is planted, cut it off 50cm from the ground after germination, set the stem, and then leave lateral branches, leaving 3 to 4 lateral branches at an angle of 30 to 40 degrees. When the lateral branch grows to 1.6 meters, it can pick the heart, and then promote the subordinate branches. In summer, the basal buds and superfluous shoots were mainly removed, and strong summer shoots were left for fruiting branch culture. The main purpose of pruning dead branches and diseased branches in winter is to adjust the shape of the tree.

The main purpose of cultivating Zizyphus jujuba is to build orchards and cultivate plants after planting, so that the plants can grow and develop better and will not be affected by other external factors, so it is best to carry out this work carefully. This can provide a guarantee for growth.
