The planting technique of blue honey prune seedlings is easily mastered by professional guidance
1. The characteristics and value of blue honey prunes.
Blue honey prune is a promising fruit tree variety whose fruit has a unique flavor and rich nutritional value. With people's increasing attention to healthy eating, the market demand for blue honey prune as a healthy fruit is increasing year by year. In order to meet this market demand, more and more fruit growers are experimenting with the cultivation of blue prunes. Mastering the right cultivation techniques is essential to improve the yield and quality of blue prunes.
2. Choose a suitable planting environment.
The growth of blue prunes requires plenty of sunlight, water, and fertilizer. When choosing a planting site, make sure that the land is flat, well ventilated, and has convenient drainage and irrigation conditions. In addition, the pH of the soil should be moderate to facilitate root growth and nutrient uptake. Avoid planting on unsuitable land such as low-lying land and saline-alkali land.
3. Choose high-quality seedlings.
Choosing high-quality, robust blue honey prune seedlings is the key to successful planting. Saplings of pure varieties, robust growth, and free of pests and diseases should be selected. When purchasing, pay attention to whether the root system of the seedling is developed and whether the branches are full. Seedlings that have undergone detoxification treatment are preferentially selected to improve survival rate and yield.
Fourth, reasonable dense planting.
Planting density is determined based on soil fertility and management level. Generally speaking, 30-50 blue honey prune seedlings can be planted per mu. Reasonable dense planting is beneficial to improve early yield and fruit quality. During the planting process, the seedlings are planted according to the specified row spacing and plant spacing to ensure that the seedlings are arranged neatly and easy to manage.
Fifth, scientific fertilization.
Fertilization is an important measure to improve the yield and quality of blue honey prunes. According to the soil nutrient status and tree body demand, the fertilization time and amount should be reasonably arranged. During the growth process, fast-acting fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are applied to meet the nutrients required for tree growth. At the same time, organic fertilizer was applied to increase the content of soil organic matter and improve soil structure. Follow the principle of "thin fertilizer and diligent application" to avoid root burning caused by excessive fertilization.
6. Water management.
Water is an important factor in the growth of blue prunes. Depending on soil moisture and weather conditions, water or drain at the right time. During the dry season, timely irrigation to keep the soil moist;During the rainy season, pay attention to dredging ditches to prevent stagnant water from flooding the roots. Through reasonable irrigation and drainage measures, the normal growth of the tree is ensured and the quality of the fruit is improved.
7. Pruning and shaping.
Pruning and shaping are necessary means to achieve high yield and quality of blue honey prunes. Pruning removes redundant branches to promote ventilation and light transmission of the tree, balance the tree's momentum, and improve fruit yield and quality. Depending on the shape of the tree and the stage of growth, different pruning methods are employed. The young tree stage is mainly shaping, and a good tree structure is cultivatedAdult trees are mainly pruned to keep the tree body ventilated and light, and prolong the full fruiting period.
8. Pest control.
Pests and diseases are important factors affecting the yield and quality of blue honey prunes. Fruit farmers should strengthen the monitoring and prevention of pests and diseases, and follow the principle of "prevention first, comprehensive control". In the planting process, strengthen the health care of the tree and improve the ability to resist diseases;Regular inspections to detect and improve pests and diseases in a timely manner. Adopt green prevention and control technologies such as biological control and agricultural control to reduce the use of chemical pesticides and ensure the safe production and quality of fruits.
9. Fruit harvesting and post-harvest treatment.
Fruit harvesting and post-harvest treatment are important links to ensure the quality of blue honey prunes. According to the ripeness of the fruit and the market demand, the harvest time is reasonably arranged. Harvesting should be carried out on sunny days to avoid fruit rot caused by harvesting on rainy days. After harvesting, the fruit should be graded, cleaned, packaged and other treatments to improve the commodity value and market competitiveness of the fruit. At the same time, the research and application of fruit storage and preservation technology should be strengthened to extend the shelf life and sales period of fruits.
