Didn't you blow a strong wind not long ago, why is my pepper almost gone, and you still have a bumper harvest here? ”
Why did you cut all the fruiting branches, so that the pepper tree became a 'light pole commander', can it still be sent next year? ”
Recently, the base of Wei Zhongqin, a large pepper grower in Shuanglong Village, Shuijiang Town, Nanchuan District, Chongqing, ushered in a large number of peers who "learned from the experience".
Why don't the light leaves bear fruit?
Many pepper growers' questions mainly focus on one point: "Why do the flowers bloom well this year and the leaves grow a lot, but they just don't bear fruit." ”
It is understood that in recent years, Nanchuan District will develop Zanthoxylum as a poverty alleviation and ecological greening industry, and the Zanthoxylum industry in many towns and streets in the district has developed rapidly, and the existing planting area has reached nearly 20,000 acres. However, many growers are "novices", lack of technology, and have invested manpower and material resources, but they have encountered the phenomenon that peppercorns do not bear fruit or lose fruit.
The failure to bear fruit is related to fertilization and management, and there are many reasons, which should be analyzed one by one. Huo Zhonghua said that the fruit loss is caused by problems in pollination and nutrient supply, as well as continuous rainy weather, and must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis in order to prescribe the right medicine. "But whether it is no fruit, fruit loss, or fruit growth, it is related to fertilization, disease control and insect control, and promotion and control technology. ”
The Jiangjin experience cannot be copied
In the past, I applied fertilizer very casually, I could apply it whenever I wanted, and I applied it when I had time. Now the peppercorns not only do not bear fruit, but also dozens of plants have died. Hu Zeyuan, a large pepper grower in Gaofeng Village, Lengshuiguan Town, took the initiative to sign up to learn this time.
Huo Zhonghua said that Zanthoxylum pepper should avoid high chlorine, and can not be continuously applied with chlorine fertilizer, so it should be mainly sulfur and potassium compound fertilizer, and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be matched. He particularly emphasized that the altitude, climate, soil and other natural conditions of Nanchuan and Jiangjin, the pepper planting area of our city, are different, and the growers cannot copy the experience of Jiangjin, but must combine the local conditions and adapt measures to local conditions.
For example, the moon mother fertilizer is generally applied in early to mid-June, a little later than Jiangjin, or applied 10 to 15 days before fruit picking, mainly with high-nitrogen compound fertilizer; Overwintering fertilizer was applied in late October, mainly balanced compound fertilizer; Pre-flowering fertilizer was applied in late January, mainly potassium-increasing compound fertilizer; Fruit-strengthening fertilizer was applied in early to mid-April, mainly with high-potassium compound fertilizer.
Picking is no longer "peppery".
It is understood that the Nanchuan people have been planting pepper for a long time, but it has not been large-scale, and a large reason is that it is difficult to pick fruits. The pepper trees are tall and covered in thorns, and many people are reluctant to do this job because they need to wear thick leather gloves for picking.
The pepper trees in Wei Zhongqin's base have made many growers shine, and the branches of the pepper have been cut off one by one, leaving only one water-absorbing branch. Workers pick pepper fruits directly on the branches, which is convenient and labor-saving.
But after this pile, can the peppercorns still be sent next year? Will production be affected? Many people asked suspiciously.
Don't worry, the more you cut the pepper branches, the more willing you are, and if you don't cut them, you won't send them, which is the new technology of pepper planting. Huo Zhonghua said that many people refuse to prune in the traditional way, but do not bear fruit or bear little fruit. The pile technology must leave a water-absorbing branch, and it is necessary to match the corresponding regulator in the three periods of branch aging, promoting germination, and fruit preservation and falling, so as to improve the pollination rate and fruit hanging rate, etc., to ensure that the pepper bears fruit and bears large fruits.
