Technical points of Flower and Fruit thinning of Waxberry

In the production of fruit trees, in order to improve the yield and quality, but also to reduce the phenomenon of falling flowers and fruits, it is necessary for us to carry out the work of thinning flowers and fruits so as to maintain a reasonable load on the trees. The same is true of red bayberry, so how to thinning flowers and fruits of red bayberry? Let's get to know it with the editor.

1. The reasons for flower and fruit thinning of red bayberry.

Red bayberry is an evergreen fruit tree, which generally has the characteristics of more fruit in last year and less flowers in the next year, so red bayberry should reasonably control the ratio of leaves to fruits, leaving more fruit in strong trees, less fruit in weak trees, and thinning flowers and fruits in shoots. Red bayberry flower thinning and fruit thinning should be early and uniform, so that the fruit quality will be good, ripening will be earlier, fruit rot and fruit drop phenomenon will be less. Generally speaking, there are 2 thin shoots and short shoots, 3 coarse shoots and 2 Murray without spring shoots on the fruit. when thinning fruit, small fruits, diseases and insect pests and abnormal fruits should be removed at the same time to regulate the vegetative growth and reproductive growth of fruit trees.

2. the method of cutting short fruiting branches and thinning flowers.

This method is generally carried out from February to March. For the big tree with excessive flower bud differentiation, the whole tree is uniformly truncated with 1/5 or 2/5 fruiting branches, while the weak and dense fruiting branches are removed, and 0.5-1kg urea is applied to each plant to promote its multiple vegetative branches.

3. Chemical flower thinning method

This method is suitable for big year trees in full bloom, which can reduce the amount of flowers by 30% and 50%, and can also increase the fruit of bayberry, mature earlier and increase the rate of high-quality fruit. For young or young trees, gibberellin can be sprayed after harvest, once every 10 days, 2-3 times in a row, to increase the amount of autumn shoots and inhibit flower bud formation.

4. Artificial fruit thinning

Fruit thinning is one of the most effective and simple methods to overcome the big and small years of red bayberry, but artificial fruit thinning is time-consuming and rarely used in producing areas, and artificial fruit thinning generally needs two or three times. One time, 20 days after flowering, the fruit grew to the size of peanut, when the dense fruit, small fruit and dehiscent fruit were mainly removed; the second time, when the fruit diameter was about one centimeter, the small fruit and bad fruit were mainly removed.
