Apple planting techniques: Apple farmers' work in the four seasons, how to pollinate apple trees artificially?

What is the four seasons homework of apple farmers? is it the same as the technique of potted apples? Let's have a look!

At the end of March, before the apple trees blossomed, fruit farmers began to "administer medicine". Although they were "beating", they actually sprayed fungicides, pesticides and other agricultural agents on the trees to prevent and treat diseases and insect pests. Depending on the weather, the medicine will be given every seven to ten days, and in conjunction with each growing period, different formulations of topdressing will be applied to the fruit trees all the way to September, while the apple mining It falls between mid-October and early November.

Not only that, but during the short flowering period, some fruit growers pollinate the fruit trees themselves, or even buy expensive imported pollen, which is placed on the pistil stigma of apple flowers, increasing the chances of successful pollination. Ah Kai works in an apple orchard with limited manpower, and he doesn't think it is necessary to order pollen. Relying on natural wild flowers, vanilla and other nectar plants in the orchard, he attracts wild bees to stay in the orchard and help pollinate the fruit trees when they bloom. In addition, there is a consensus among most orchards to stop spraying pesticides during flowering, so as not to harm bees and harm the pollination of fruit trees.

At the same time, another work of Akai in early spring is to irrigate the root fertilizer, using his own fermented liquid fertilizer rich in beneficial bacteria and nutrients, combined with the solar terms when the fruit tree wakes up from dormancy, and irrigate the soil several times according to the weather conditions. let the roots of fruit trees grow better. After that, when the fruit trees begin to bear fruit in May, the fruit growers will be busy thinning the fruit, and the young fruit that grows from the receptacle should be pulled out when it is only the size of the little thumb. Because apple flowering is divided into early flower, middle flower and late flower, although the nutrition distribution of early flower fruit is the most, the fruit of early flower and middle flower is usually left according to the amount of fruit thinning, while the fruit of late flower is usually small, and it is easy to grow into deformed fruit and ripen slowly. however, if the fruit is not good in case of climate, it will also leave the fruit of late flower.

As the weather turns hot, different varieties of apples begin to turn red, green, or yellow. fruit farmers have to worry not only about weather changes, but also about fallen leaves. Apples have four or five early defoliation diseases, and if they are not properly controlled, they will begin to fall leaves in July and August. Fruit trees are unable to accumulate nutrients due to lack of photosynthesis, resulting in fruits that cannot grow, turn sweet, and are not easy to mature. This is also the reason why apple farmers do not dare to stop their medicine too early. After all, apple orchards that rent a lot of land in the mountains often cost millions of dollars in rent, and it is difficult for them to bear any possible risk that will affect the harvest.
