Old pepper tree is one of the important crops in agricultural production and has high economic value. However, as the tree ages, the yield and quality of old pepper trees tend to suffer. In order to improve the yield and quality of old pepper trees, pruning and regeneration technology has become an effective means. This article will introduce in detail the method of pruning and regrowing old pepper trees, so that fruit farmers can easily master this practical technique.
The purpose of pruning old pepper trees is to promote the growth of new branches and improve yield and quality by pruning old trees. By pruning the old, weak, sick and disabled branches, it provides space and nutrients for the growth of new branches, makes new branches grow robust, and improves the yield and quality of fruits.
Trimming time. The pruning time for old pepper trees is generally chosen to be carried out in spring or autumn. Spring pruning is good for the growth and development of new shoots, while autumn pruning is good for nutrient accumulation and flower bud differentiation. Depending on the local climatic conditions and the growth of the old pepper trees, choose the right pruning time.
Pruning method. 1) Thinning of diseased and weak branches: Remove diseased and weak branches, dead branches, and long branches on old pepper trees to provide space for the growth of new branches.
2) Truncation of the main branch: According to the growth of the old pepper tree, the main branch is truncated to promote the growth of new branches. The length of the stub should be determined according to the growth of the main branch and the purpose of pruning.
3) Prune the side branches: Prune the side branches on the old pepper tree to a state of flat and oblique growth to promote the growth of new branches. At the same time, it is necessary to keep the length and angle of the side branches appropriate to avoid affecting the growth of new branches.
Management after pruning.
1) Fertilization: Fertilization should be applied in time after pruning to provide sufficient nutrients for the growth of new branches. You can choose organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer for fertilization, following the principle of "thin fertilizer and frequent application".
2) Watering: After pruning, it is necessary to water in time to keep the soil moist and promote the growth of new branches. At the same time, care should be taken to avoid root rot caused by stagnant water.
3) Pest control: After pruning, it is necessary to check the occurrence of pests and diseases in time, and once signs of pests and diseases are found, measures should be taken to prevent and control them in time. Biological control, chemical agents and other methods can be used for prevention and control.
Care should be taken during the pruning process to avoid damage to the old pepper tree;
After pruning, it is necessary to carry out management work such as fertilization and watering in time to promote the growth of new branches
In the process of pest control, we should pay attention to the safe use of pesticides to avoid harm to the environment and human body
In the process of pruning and reoccurring, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining hygiene and cleanliness to avoid infection with pests and diseases.
Through the pruning and re-pruning method of old pepper trees introduced above, fruit farmers can easily master this practical technique. In the process of pruning and reoccurring, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of appropriate pruning time and method, and timely carry out management work such as fertilization and watering. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining hygiene and cleanliness to avoid infection with pests and diseases. It is hoped that these methods will help fruit farmers improve the yield and quality of old pepper trees, and increase economic benefits.
