Temperature requirements of Loquat at different growth stages

Loquat is a kind of fruit liked by many people, and its nutritional value is very high. Now the planting area in our country is also relatively large, when planting loquat, the management work is very important. For example, temperature, humidity, light and so on, all need our attention. Especially the temperature, loquat different growth periods of the temperature requirements are not the same, then the following and Xiaobian to take a look at the pipa different growth periods of the temperature requirements!

1. Temperature requirement

The flowering period of loquat is mainly in autumn and winter. When loquat is cultivated in facilities, the first batch of loquat flowers in autumn is mainly used. Therefore, if the loquat tree is covered and heated in winter, it will not break the dormancy period of deciduous fruit trees. It can be covered when loquat blossoms in autumn, but if it is covered prematurely, it will affect the pollination and fertilization of loquat. The ripening time of loquat fruit is usually before summer, so the growth of loquat in high temperature environment is not very good, so temperature regulation is very important.

2. Temperature management in young fruit stage.

The young fruit period of loquat depends on the cultivation conditions. If the loquat is cultivated at elevated temperature, it is usually in December-January. If there is no heating, it is usually in January-February. For the management of the young fruit stage of loquat, the highest heating temperature should not exceed 25 degrees, and the lowest temperature should be kept above 5 degrees. The temperature can be adjusted by heating, air exchange and so on. If there is no heating, then the temperature should be kept above zero at night, and if the temperature is too low, we should also pay attention to appropriate heating, mainly according to the development period of loquat.

3. Management of fruit expansion period

If the fruit expansion period of loquat is heated, then in February-March, if there is no heating condition, then it will be in March-April. During the fruit expansion period, the temperature gradually rises, and the growth rate of loquat will be accelerated. However, in the environment of high natural light intensity, the temperature in the shed will rise sharply, which can easily cause loquat to be damaged by high temperature, so we should pay attention to do a good job of temperature mediation. The range of heating should be kept at about 8 degrees, and the maximum temperature should not exceed 28 degrees. If there is no heating, the temperature will remain around 5 degrees at the end of March and 10 degrees in late April.

4. Fruit ripening period

The ripening period of loquat fruit is also different because of the cultivation method. The mature period of heating cultivation is about March-April, if there is no heating condition, then it is in April-May. The temperature management in this period is similar to that in the fruit expansion period, with a maximum temperature of no more than 30 degrees. The water content of the soil should not be too high, it should be kept dry properly, and fertilization and watering should be done well after fruit picking.

The above is a brief introduction to the temperature requirements of loquat in different growth periods. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can be helpful to all of you.
