Introduction to the planting and management techniques of mountain pig loquat, what is the method of thinning flowers and fruits in loquat?

The origin of the name of mountain pig loquat, there is a couple who put all their efforts and enthusiasm into planting loquat. They grow loquats without pesticides and fertilizers, and naturally even mountain pigs know how to eat them, so they simply call them "mountain pig loquat"! Let's take a look at the planting and management of loquat trees.

From the inside to the outside of the Gongliao on the top of the mountain, the place where they planted loquat was full of loquat trees at a glance. March and April were the season of loquat fruit, and golden and silver paper bags were covered with loquat bearing fruit. Zhan Guirong, the person in charge of mountain pig loquat, explained, "that is to ensure that the loquat fruit grows healthily inside." it looks like a Christmas tree with bells. The whole mountain of Xinshe is full of blessings from loquat.

Six years of loquat learning, insisting on cultivation without pesticides

Loquat blossoms in autumn or early winter, and begins to bear fruit in spring and early summer. "before the Lunar New year and after the Qingming Festival, loquat is the production season of loquat," explains Tseng Sheng-yen, another co-director of mountain pig loquat and Mr. Zhan Guijong. The harvest is only once a year, and the harvest time is only a little more than two months, so the golden and delicate loquat is so rare.

They insist on natural cultivation, do not use pesticides and fertilizers, and stand firm and never compromise from the very beginning. This has a good foundation for the taste of the loquat they grow.

Eat organic with skin and concentrate nutrition to make loquat taste better.

Eating organic and even the skin is the thing that mountain pig loquat is most proud of, and "centralized nutrition" is the biggest principle for them to grow good loquat. The important steps of "pruning", "flower thinning" and "fruit thinning" are all in order to fully supply nutrients to the current growth stage of fruit trees.

Zhan Guirong explained that after harvest every year, a major overhaul of the orchard must be carried out, pruning all the branches and then taking care of the buds. After blooming, there are about 200 flowers in each tree, and half of the "thinning flowers" must be thinned out. The flowers begin to bear fruit after pollination, and at this time they have to "thinning fruit." about five to six fruits are left on each branch. When the fruit grows to a certain extent, it will be covered with paper and bagged to protect Loquat-Shaped Cake. Zhan also stressed that the new buds of fruit trees will always grow, so it is necessary to always pay attention to whether there are new buds in the bud, flowering or fruiting stage and cut them off.

The challenge of diseases and insect pests is great, so we can only minimize the peaceful coexistence of ethnic groups.

Zeng Shengyan said that diseases and insect pests are also a great challenge for loquats. Anthracnose, angular spot, red clothes disease, gray spot, dirty leaf disease and black coal disease are all possible diseases of loquat trees. He said that fruit trees can only be raised and adjusted at the beginning of pruning, but if the branches are still unfortunately sick, the whole tree will be cut off and burned, and there will be no residual germs in the park.

And different seasons will also have different pest problems, litchi leaf mites, orange leaf aphids and other moths and butterflies are uninvited guests in the orchard. The bugs in the flowering stage will bite the flowers, and the worms in the fruiting stage will eat the fruit. even if they are covered with paper bags, the bugs still have a way to get into the bags and swagger to enjoy the loquat meal.

Co-prosperity with all things, organic soybean milk to feed loquat

When the loquat is ripe, the mountain pig will come to eat the loquat, and Zhan and Zeng will not drive the mountain pig away. For these "diners" large and small, they show a good attitude of co-prosperity with all things, which is also another kind of "certification" for mountain pig loquat delicacy.

Do not spray pesticides, do not drive diners, but should supplement the nutrition of loquat they are not careless. Once a piece of canvas was lifted, and under the canvas were four or five tools for grinding beans. Zhan Guirong explained that they grind organic soybeans into milk, ferment them and dilute them with water to provide nutrients for loquat. Including "root irrigation" and "foliar fertilization" in parallel, "often a friend said to me, ho, your loquat drink soy milk is better than people drink!" "

It is their intention for the cultivation of mountain pig loquat that makes this kind of mountain pig loquat very delicate. Look at the color of loquat orange enough to harvest, cut off the stem connected to the pedicel, then pluck off the dust and leaflets of loquat epidermis and gently put it into the collection bucket. If there is a little collision or bruise when collecting, there will be cracks or bruises immediately, which is very difficult to take care of.

To grow any kind of crop, if you want to have a good harvest, you must manage it carefully. Otherwise, a small carelessness will lead to no guarantee of crop harvest or quality problems.
