Causes of Malformed Peaches

Peach is a kind of fruit that we eat more in our life, and the planting area of peach trees in our country is also relatively large. When planting peach trees, we should not only pay attention to the yield and quality of peaches. Also pay attention to its appearance, the appearance will also directly affect the commodity value of peaches. In many cases, fruit growers will find that peach trees are prone to a lot of abnormal fruits. So what is the reason for the abnormal fruit of peach trees? How can it be reduced? Let's take a look at it together.

First, the cause of abnormal fruit

1. Climatic reasons

In the peach flower bud differentiation period, if the weather is not good, then it is easy to cause peach trees to appear abnormal fruit phenomenon. For example, if you encounter the weather of long-term high temperature and water shortage, it will inhibit the flower bud differentiation of peach trees, or even stop. There are many peach varieties, especially early-maturing varieties, which have the phenomenon of abnormal fruit. It is mainly due to the great changes in the surrounding environment. If peach trees are stimulated during flower bud differentiation or do not meet the conditions needed for flower bud differentiation, then the normal growth of peach trees will be seriously affected, resulting in a variety of adverse phenomena.

2. Reasons for variety

Variety is also the main cause of abnormal fruit of peach trees. For example, there are more abnormal fruits in early-maturing varieties, but less in mid-late-maturing varieties. Because the mature time of precocious varieties is relatively early, after the later stage, basically no one takes care of, improper management of water and fertilizer, resulting in there are no sufficient conditions for flower bud differentiation. On the other hand, the middle and late maturing varieties are just the opposite, so the phenomenon of abnormal fruit is less. In addition, if the distance between the two flowers is too small, then in the fruit, the fruit is easy to connect together, thus forming the deformed fruit of "twins".

Second, how to reduce abnormal fruit

1. Improve the environment

After peach trees enter the flower bud differentiation period, we should do a good job in improving the environment. From July to August, peach flower bud differentiation is the most sensitive to the change of temperature. The temperature should not be too high, if it exceeds 30 degrees, then shading should be done well to reduce the light intensity and temperature. Reducing the phenomenon of double pistil flower bud can also reduce the phenomenon of abnormal fruit. In addition, in the high temperature stage, we should pay attention to keep the soil moist, can properly grow weeds, improve the soil environment, and improve the soil moisture capacity. Water can also be sprayed appropriately to reduce the temperature in small areas of the orchard at high temperatures.

2. Strengthen the management

When managing peach trees, we should manage them according to the characteristics of early, middle and late ripening of the varieties. Do a good job in water and fertilizer management, foliar fertilization, pruning plant protection and other work. Especially after entering September, the management method should be adjusted reasonably according to the changes of the weather. When the weather is dry and the temperature is high, it is necessary to water and fertilize in time. If there is a drought in September, it will affect the growth of peach autumn shoots, resulting in the original accumulation of transpiration and the increase of abnormal flowers. Therefore, there will be more abnormal fruits of peach trees the following year, so we must strengthen our management work. The deformities should be removed in time to avoid consuming too much nutrition.

The above is a brief introduction to the reasons for the abnormal fruit of peach trees. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
