Harvest time and method of kiwifruit

Kiwifruit is very rich in nutrients, has a high nutritional value, and has a relatively large planting area in China. Therefore, it has a very considerable planting prospect and development space, and is welcomed by many people. When we plant kiwifruit, we should pay attention to judge the harvest time of kiwifruit, and do a good job of harvesting. So how to harvest kiwifruit? When should it be harvested? Let's take a look at the harvest time and methods of kiwifruit with the editor.

1. Harvest time

The aboveground part of kiwifruit gradually stopped growing, and the leaves yellowed and began to fall. And the fruit begins to expand, gently squeeze harder without complete softening, is the best time for kiwifruit harvest. The harvest of kiwifruit should not be too early and too late, if too early, the fruit is not fully mature, the nutrition in the fruit is less, the fruit shape is small and very sour. If the harvest is too late, the storage and transportation capacity of the fruit is poor, and it is vulnerable to low temperature freezing injury, which affects the planting benefit. Therefore, we should harvest kiwifruit in time to ensure the inherent quality of kiwifruit and improve the storage performance of kiwifruit.

2. Harvest preparation

When preparing to harvest kiwifruit, stop watering for the first five days. Nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied within three weeks. If it is rainy after rain or when there is dew in the morning, it cannot be harvested and should be carried out on a sunny day. The harvester should wear good gloves and should not smoke during harvest to prevent the fruit from mechanical wounds caused by external factors, resulting in a decline in storage performance. If ripe wild kiwifruit is harvested, its pedicel is completely loose. Therefore, when harvesting, we should pay attention to avoid fruit falling, resulting in mechanical damage.

3. Harvesting method

When harvesting kiwifruit, we should first harvest kiwifruit in batches. Because the ripening time of different planting plots in the same orchard, or even the superior fruits of different branches on the same plant, can not be kept the same. Therefore, we should do a good job of harvesting in batches, first from the outside, and gradually to the inside. And first go down and then go up, according to the level of fruit trees, can not harvest injured fruit, can not be harvested all at one time. Then we should pay attention to the selection of harvest, that is, can not harvest injured fruit, insect pest fruit and abnormal fruit and so on.

Then when harvesting, but also scientific harvest, first hold the fruit with your hand, and then push the fruit upward and gently turn, do not pull hard and randomly. When picking fruit, we should pay attention to the strength, pick and put it gently, and do a good job of shipping. Prevent kiwifruit from being bruised and squeezed during shipment. Therefore, it is best to be able to carry out with the pick-up, timely transport into storage. The bottom of kiwifruit should also pay attention to laying some cushions, and the same varieties should be put together to facilitate later transportation.

The above is a brief introduction to the time and methods of kiwifruit harvest. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
