Management skills of young citrus trees in spring
Young citrus trees refer to the period before fruiting, which generally means that after planting for 1-2 years, the citrus that has not yet begun to bear fruit is called young trees. The main purpose of this management is to urge them to expand the crown and form a tree shape as soon as possible, so as to provide the basis for the first fruit. So how to manage young citrus trees in spring? Let's get to know it with the editor.

The spring shoot of citrus can be pruned properly before it germinates in spring, and the principle of pruning is to cut as little as possible on the basis of tree shaping, so as not to affect the subsequent growth. In principle, the more branches and leaves of young citrus trees, the faster the plant growth, but if the growth process is not controlled, it is very easy to form a large number of overgrown branches and dense branches, which is extremely disadvantageous to plant growth. so we need to improve pruning to adjust.
2. Apply spring fertilizer well
No matter what the soil fertility of young citrus trees is, for the management of young trees, spring shoot fertilizer should be well applied in spring, and the amount of spring fertilizer should be controlled according to the size of young trees. Spring fertilizer is mainly to promote the sprouting and growth of new shoots, so it is mainly nitrogen fertilizer. If base fertilizer or overwintering fertilizer was applied last autumn, then nitrogen fertilizer can be applied directly and urea can be selected. The way of fertilization is recommended to apply in annular ditch, and then cover the soil, not recommended to spread, which will cause fertilizer waste. Conditional orchards can also adopt the principle of integration of fertilizer and water and frequent application of thin fertilizer.
3. Protection of branches and leaves
The main control objects are diseases and insect pests that can eat or destroy leaf function. Aphids are the key diseases and insect pests of young citrus trees in spring, and it is not too late to control them if red spiders and whitefly occur and cause harm. Control of canker depends on the varieties planted, if it is a wide-skinned variety, then do not need to consider, anthracnose can be in the peak period of shoot growth, combined with aphid control, only need to add a little difenoconazole.
