The fruit of potted lotus fog for several years

Potted lotus fog if well managed, after careful maintenance, the second year will be able to a small amount of results, good management work in the later stage, the number will gradually increase.

First, the pruning of lotus mist

The lotus flower should adopt the natural round head pruning method, leave a trunk after planting, cut off the upper end at the 60cm off the ground, pull out the new branches and leave 3-4 branches, let them grow naturally and become the main branches. Pruning branches after fruit harvest every year, cutting off disease and insect branches, withered branches, over-dense branches and overgrown branches and so on. In order to promote the early flowering of Yangpu peach, we should not only maintain a good tree shape to make the crown ventilated and transparent, but also pay attention to the control of diseases and insect pests and rational fertilization. After pruning, it is necessary to protect the wound in time, apply grease "callus anticorrosive film" to seal the wound, prevent dry crack and germ invasion.

II. Fertilizer and Water Management of Lotus Fruit

The lotus flower grows fast and needs a large amount of fertilizer. 1-4-year-old trees are generally based on available fertilizer, apply more nitrogen and potassium fertilizer in the early stage, dig annular trenches in the crown drip line, and do not apply more nitrogen fertilizer in the flower bud differentiation period. The amount of fertilizer applied at the flower and fruit stage from March to April and at the end of fruit harvest in July is 25% of the whole year, respectively. The amount of fertilizer applied from September to October accounts for 50% of the whole year, and phosphate and potassium fertilizer is applied again after the small fruit. Manage moisture scientifically, keep orchard dry from September to October to facilitate flower bud differentiation, and keep the soil moist at other times to prevent flowers and fruits from falling.

Third, thinning flowers and fruits

The number of flowers is more, and the amount of fruit is also larger, so the spike at the end of the branch should be thinned first. There are 1-2 pairs of flower spikes on the big branches. Thinning the overdense flower spike and bagging when the flower ear has about 2cm can improve the fruit quality and prevent the damage of fruit flies.

IV. Harvest

The lotus fruit can be harvested when its navel is unfolded. The fruit can only be stored for one week at room temperature and should be sold immediately after packing.
