1. Methods to prevent cherry cracking.
Cherry cracking is caused by the fruit absorbing water too quickly and the peel can't adapt quickly, here are some ways to prevent cherry cracking:
Watering in moderation: Control the amount of watering and avoid watering violently during droughts. Keep the surface moist, but don't let the water penetrate deep into the roots of the tree.
Mulching: Mulching reduces soil moisture evaporation while helping to maintain proper soil moisture, reducing the risk of cracking on the cherry surface.
Avoid drastic temperature changes: Large temperature changes can induce cherry cracking, so try to avoid large temperature differences between inside and outside the greenhouse.
Second, the use of large cherry anti-cracking fruit drugs.
Large cherry anti-cracking fruit is usually treated with medication, and here are some of the drugs that can be used for large cherry anti-cracking fruit:
1.Boric acid.
How it works: Boric acid strengthens the cell wall and improves the tensile resistance of the peel, thereby reducing the possibility of fruit splitting.
Application: Before and after the cherry begins to color, spray 01% boric acid solution, sprayed every 7-10 days.
2.Calcium. Principle of action: Calcium can increase the binding force between fruit cells, strengthen the peel tissue, and reduce the risk of fruit cracking.
How to use: Choose a product containing calcium organicate, such as calcium lactate, and macerate or foliar spray according to the product instructions.
3.Biomass.
Principle of action: Biomass promotes cell differentiation and increase of wall thickness, and improves the tension resistance of fruits.
How to use: Spray a suitable concentration of biomass solution before and after the cherries start to color.
4.Other medications.
In addition to the above-mentioned drugs, there are some other drugs that are also used for the anti-cracking fruit treatment of large cherries, such as potassium nitrate, etc. When using these medications, it is important to follow the product instructions and local regulations to ensure that they are safe and effective to use.
Epilogue. Through the above methods to prevent cherry cracking and the use of anti-cracking drugs for large cherries, we can better protect cherry fruits, reduce the occurrence of fruit cracking, and improve fruit quality and yield. Hope you find this information helpful!
