Passion fruit, as a popular tropical fruit, has been widely cultivated in southern China in recent years. But in the process of passion fruit planting, there is a common saying that "the seedlings should be changed in three years". So, why does passion fruit planting need to change seedlings every three years?
We need to understand what it means to "change seedlings". In passion fruit planting, seedling replacement does not mean that the entire orchard is replaced, but that some or all of the plants are replaced at a certain time interval. The main purpose of this is to improve the productivity and economic efficiency of the orchard.
During the growth of passion fruit, the yield and quality of passion fruit may decline as the tree ages. This is because as the tree ages, so does the tree's need for nutrients and water, and if these needs are not met, the tree's growth and fruit-setting ability will be affected. With regular seedling replacement, orchards can maintain high yields and high-quality fruits.
Passion fruit plants may be attacked by various pests and diseases during their growth. Over time, these pests and diseases may accumulate to a certain extent, causing serious damage to fruit trees. By changing seedlings regularly, the spread and spread of pests and diseases can be effectively controlled, and the overall health of the orchard can be protected.
Passion fruit cultivation requires a significant investment of time and money. Over time, some aging fruit trees may not be able to produce the expected economic benefits. By changing seedlings regularly, orchards can introduce new varieties or better quality plants, improving economic efficiency and market competitiveness.
The passion fruit seedlings need to be changed in three years to maintain the high yield, high quality, health and economic efficiency of the orchard. By changing seedlings regularly, orchards can continuously optimize their planting structures and management practices to adapt to changing market demands and agricultural technology developments.
