The method of setting up dragon fruit

Fire dragon fruit is a very popular fruit in China, there is a very large market demand, and its price is relatively close to the people. In the cultivation of dragon fruit, the construction work is very important, reasonable construction has a great impact on the yield and fruit quality of dragon fruit. So how to set up a fight when planting dragon fruit? Today, the editor brings you the method of setting up the dragon fruit. Let's take a look at it.

1. Height and angle of erection

When building a frame, the first thing we should pay attention to is to control the height of the bracket. The vertical distance from the top of the support to the ground should be maintained at about 180 cm, so that the length of the branches drooping from the top is not less than 150 cm, which promotes the formation of fruiting branches and facilitates later farming operations. Then control the angle, because the lower vertical growth direction will grow at a certain angle with the top bracket. If the angle is too small, it is easy to pull and press the branch, causing the branch to break and damage. Usually, the radius of the upper bracket is about 1 stroke 5 of the vertical height. If it is a disc, then the radius of the disc should be kept at about 35cm.

2. Scaffold material

The growth time of dragon fruit is very long, the longest time, the growth cycle of a dragon fruit tree can reach 20 years or more. Because the growth of dragon fruit is large, and the soil has to be kept in a moist state for a long time. Therefore, it is not suitable to choose perishable trees, bamboo and other materials, should be hard, pressure-resistant and corrosion-resistant steel and cement prefabricated parts. It is not suitable to simply use steel as support material, because in summer, the temperature is very high, and steel is a kind of material with strong thermal conductivity, which is easy to cause burns to attached stems and leaves.

3. Stent stability

The support is built by burying the bottom of the main column in the soil. However, because the soil is in a moist state for a long time, the soil will be relatively soft and easy to affect the stability of the column. And the bracket is also relatively high, but also attached to a large number of dragon fruit branches, the pressure is very great. If it is affected by strong winds and other external environmental factors, it is easy to lose the center of gravity and cause the pillar to topple. Therefore, the depth of the soil at the bottom of the main column of the support should be determined according to the changes of the soil quality and the surrounding environment. Usually the shallowest should be kept around 50cm, and then the upper drooping branches should be evenly distributed.

4. Erection density

The density of the frame is also very important, and the reasonable density is the basic guarantee for the growth, shaping and pruning of dragon fruit. Because dragon fruit is a perennial tropical fruit, it has strong sprouting power, and its growth ability will become stronger and stronger with the increase of growth years. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the plant row spacing should be controlled at about 2-2.5 meters. In the early growth period of dragon fruit, because the growth rate of dragon fruit is slower, so many people will increase the density. It led to the disorderly growth of dragon fruit in the later stage, which not only decreased the permeability, but also had a great influence on the flowering and fruiting of dragon fruit.

The above is a brief introduction to the method of dragon fruit erection. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can be helpful to all of you.
