Fertilizer and Water Management of Orange trees

Orange is a kind of fruit belonging to citrus, which has a large planting area in our country. When planting orange trees, fertilizer and water management is very important for the yield and quality of oranges. Fertilizer and water management is a key measure to meet the nutrition and moisture of oranges, so how to manage fertilizer and water when planting orange trees? The following editor brings you the fertilizer and water management of orange trees. Let's have a look!

1. Water management

When planting orange trees, water management is very important. In some places, the rainfall may be more, but if the distribution is uniform and dry and wet alternately, it will not play a good role in the growth of orange trees. Because orange trees have a certain demand for water, no matter in the shoot stage or in the flower and fruit stage. It is necessary to keep enough water in order for the orange tree to blossom and bear fruit normally. But do not have too much water, if too much water in the soil produces stagnant water, then the roots will rot because of lack of oxygen.

Therefore, we must strengthen water management and do a good job in drainage and irrigation of orange trees according to the water demand characteristics of orange trees. Try to keep the soil moist in spring. Because spring is the time when orange trees sprout and blossom, there should be enough water to ensure the growth and development of orange trees' spring shoots and floral organs. At the same time, it can also effectively reduce the physiological fruit drop of orange trees after blooming. In the orange orchard, it is necessary to open a good ditch to avoid continuous rainy days, resulting in stagnant water retting the roots and rotting the roots.

2. Fertilization management

In the young stage of orange trees, it is the main stage to cultivate the crown of orange trees. At this time, in order to achieve the goal of rapid growth, early fruit and high yield of orange trees. According to the growth characteristics of young trees, such as fast growth rate, small growth, low root distribution and poor fertilizer tolerance, etc. Take more and a small amount as the principle of fertilization. About two fertilizers were applied before and after the spring shoot, and the fertilizer was mainly manure water and urea to promote the rooting of orange trees.

Then, after entering the fruiting stage, spring fertilizer is generally applied twice or so. For the first time, it should be applied about half a month before spring bud germination to ensure the healthy growth of spring shoots. Then the second fertilization was carried out in March. Mainly for the flowers withered, to supplement the nutrients consumed by flowering, to promote the spring shoot to turn green as soon as possible, to ensure the normal development of young fruits. However, we should pay attention to the application of nitrogen fertilizer, the lack of nitrogen fertilizer can easily lead to fruit drop of orange trees, but it should not be too much, too much will easily lead to a large number of late spring and summer shoots, which is disadvantageous to its growth.

The above is a brief introduction to the main points of fertilizer and water management of orange trees. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
