Japanese Aomori apple planting method? Aomori apple fertilization and pollination is when

Artificial planting, which lasts for a whole year, is a complicated process, but it is the most important part of producing delicious Aomori apples. It is said that an average of 10 mu (1000 mu) of apple orchards takes about 223 hours of work, which is a very experienced production technique.

Pruning and selection from the end of January to March

Pruning and selecting is the first job in a whole year, and it is also the most important technique in growing apples. Apple trees need to be arranged so that they can be fully exposed to the sun and produce good fruit.

Selection is the most experiential task, and there is a saying that "if you want to become an independent apple farmer, you must first choose at least more than a thousand apple trees."

Fertilization in April

Fruit trees need nutrients, so fertilizing is carried out every April.

Apply appropriate amount of fertilizer according to the state of the soil.

Spraying from April to August

The purpose of spraying is to protect apples from insect pests. According to the standard in Aomori County, the pesticide will be sprayed 10 times a year. The fruit trees were sprayed 7 times after fruiting.

The spraying operation will be used carefully in a safe and non-destructive environment.

Weeding from May to September

In order to prevent soil and water loss, the supplement of organic matter is easy to make grass grow in the orchard. If the grass grows too much, it will take away the water needed by the apple tree and easily cause insect pests. So date to weed 4-6 times during planting.

May pollination

Most apples do not bear fruit with pollen of the same variety. Therefore, it is necessary to use other kinds of pollen for pollination.

In the past, it was artificially pollinated, but now bees are also used for pollination.

Picking fruit from June to July

About five flowers can bloom on the same apple flower, but if they all bear fruit, they will not be able to get sufficient nutrients, not only can not grow up smoothly, but also will not blossom every other year.

Therefore, 3-5 flowers will be reduced to 1, and after the fruit picking operation, delicious apples can be planted. An apple tree can produce a total of 3000 fruits, but in the end, only about 300 will be left at the harvest stage, and at least 90% of the fruits need to be removed.)

Picking flowers will be carried out during the flowering season.

Bags from mid-June to early July

In the past, the purpose of bagging was to protect apples from diseases and insect pests, but now it is to improve preservation and coloring.

Take off the bag in September

The middle to late varieties will take off their bags every year from the middle of September to the end of September, so that the fruit will be exposed to sunshine.

Coloring stage from September to November (picking leaves and turning fruits)

Let the apple be fully exposed to the sun and color evenly.

In order to prevent the leaves from forming a shadow on the apple, the leaves will be picked 2-3 times. And turn the fruit direction so that the whole apple can be evenly exposed to sunlight and turn red.

It will also remove excess branches for apple trees, and prevent branches from sagging and adding pillars and hanging branches as the apples get bigger and heavier.

Harvest from August to November

Carefully picking apples for a whole year begins in August with artificial harvesting without harming the apples.
