Venus** apple is a fruit with a unique flavor and nutritional value, which has been favored by consumers in recent years. In order to meet the market demand, more and more fruit growers are starting to grow Venus** apples. However, it is not easy to grow this apple successfully, and it requires mastery of certain cultivation techniques. This article will take a closer look at the cultivation techniques of Venus** apples to help growers grow this delicious and nutritious fruit.
1. Choose a suitable planting location.
Venus** apples require specific climatic and soil conditions to grow. First of all, choose a plot that is sunny, well ventilated, and well drained. In addition, the soil pH should be at 50-7.0, and the soil is fertile and rich in organic matter. If the planting site does not meet these requirements, the growers need to take measures to improve it, such as adding organic fertilizer and adjusting the pH of the soil.
2. Choose the right variety.
There are several varieties of Venus apples, each with its own unique flavor and growth characteristics. Therefore, when choosing varieties, growers should choose the right varieties according to the local climate, soil and market demand. At present, the more popular varieties on the market are "Venus**", "Venus Goddess" and "Venus Honey" and so on.
3. Reasonable dense planting.
Reasonable dense planting is the key to the high yield of Venus apples. Generally speaking, the planting density per mu should be between 80-120 plants. If the planting density is too large, it will affect the growth and fruit quality of the plant;If the planting density is too small, it will affect the yield. Therefore, growers should choose the right planting density according to the actual situation.
Fourth, scientific fertilization.
Scientific fertilization is an important guarantee for the growth of Venus apples. In the process of fertilization, it is necessary to follow the principle of "organic fertilizer as the mainstay, chemical fertilizer as the supplement". At the same time, the type and amount of fertilizer should be determined according to the growth of the plant and the soil condition. Generally speaking, sufficient organic fertilizer should be applied in autumn every year, and an appropriate amount of chemical fertilizer should be applied at the same time. During the growth period, top dressing can be carried out as needed, such as nitrogen fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, etc.
5. Reasonable irrigation.
Venus apples need plenty of water to grow. During the dry season, farmers should irrigate in time to keep the soil moist. At the same time, before the rainy season, farmers should also do a good job of draining water to prevent excessive water from affecting plant growth and fruit quality.
6. Pruning and shaping.
Pruning and shaping is one of the important measures for the high yield and quality of Venus** apples. Through pruning and shaping, plant branching and canopy formation can be promoted, and yield and quality can be improved. Generally speaking, pruning can be divided into two types: winter pruning and summer pruning. Winter pruning is mainly to remove diseased branches, weak branches and overlapping branches to keep the tree neat;Summer pruning is mainly through topping, thinning and other methods to control the crown size and growth rate.
7. Pest control.
Venus** apples are susceptible to a variety of pests and diseases, such as anthracnose, ring disease, aphids, spider mites, etc. Growers should regularly check the growth of their plants, detect them in time and take control measures. In the process of prevention and control, it is necessary to follow the principle of "prevention first, supplemented by prevention", and take comprehensive prevention and control measures, such as the use of biological pesticides, hanging black lights, etc. At the same time, the garden should be cleared in time after fruit picking to remove residues such as dead branches and fallen leaves and diseased fruits to reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases.
In short, Venus** apple cultivation technology needs to master many aspects, including the selection of suitable planting sites, the selection of suitable varieties, reasonable dense planting, scientific fertilization, reasonable irrigation, pruning and shaping, and pest control. Only by fully mastering these technical measures and applying them can growers achieve high yield and high quality of Venus** apples.
