How to promote pomegranate flowering

Pomegranate is a very popular fruit. Pomegranate has a very high sugar content, has a large market demand, and is very rich in nutrients. Now the planting area of pomegranate in China is also relatively large, when planting pomegranate, it is sometimes found that the flowering rate of pomegranate is very low. So how can we manage to promote more flowering of pomegranate? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Lighting

Pomegranate is a tropical fruit, likes to grow in sunny places, has a strong ability to withstand high temperature. Therefore, when planting pomegranates, there is generally no need for sunshade. Make sure you have plenty of light during the growing period. You can also put it in the sun in summer, so that the flowering rate and the quality of flowers will be improved a lot. When planting pomegranates, many people often shade the pomegranate trees, which is actually very disadvantageous to the growth of pomegranates. If the pomegranate does not have enough light during the growing period, it is very easy to cause the branches and leaves to grow, and the flowering rate will naturally decrease.

2. Moisture

Pomegranate likes to grow on moist soil, but its waterlogging resistance is very poor. Therefore, when we plant pomegranate, we should not only keep sufficient soil water content, but also avoid soil water accumulation. In summer, it usually needs to be watered once a day. When the temperature is lower in autumn, water can be watered every two days. However, it is necessary to control the amount of water after entering the flowering and fruit stage, and wait until the branches and leaves are slightly withered before watering. If the soil is too dry, the phenomenon of falling buds and dried fruit is easy to occur, which is also the main reason that affects flowering.

3. Fertilizer

There is a great demand for fertilizer for pomegranate growth, and sufficient base fertilizer should be applied to pomegranate every year. The base fertilizer is mainly fully mature farm manure, and the dilute liquid fertilizer is applied once a month during the growing period of pomegranate in that year. Then in the second year of the growing season, about half a month or so to apply. Sufficient phosphate fertilizer should be applied before pomegranate budding to improve the flowering rate. After entering the flowering stage, the amount of topdressing should be reduced, and some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied after flowering. To promote the development of fruit, but we must pay attention to control the amount and frequency of fertilizer application, especially nitrogen fertilizer, do not over-apply, otherwise it is easy to cause overgrowth and reduce the flowering rate.

4. Pruning

When planting pomegranate, we should pay attention to cutting off some dense branches, old and weak branches, and concentrate nutrients on the strong branches. Promote the flowering of branches, improve the freshness of flowers, and the yield and quality of fruit will be improved. If the pomegranate does not blossom, then we have to promote the flower bud. Start the necessary pruning work and erase the top buds at the tip of the branches. It can not only avoid the phenomenon of overgrowth of plants, but also promote the growth of new lateral branches, and the flowering rate will be increased.

The above is a brief introduction to how to promote the flowering of pomegranate. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can be helpful to all of you.
