A Detailed Explanation of the Growth and Fruiting Habits of Kernel Apricot and the Key Points of Pruning Techniques
I. Growth and fruiting habits of kernel apricot: 1. Weak branching ability: After planting, kernel apricot produces a few long branches, and once these long branches enter the fruiting stage, they rarely branch, often showing insufficient branch quantity under natural growth. 2. High germination rate: Whether the long branches of kernel apricot are left unpruned or cut back, the vast majority of buds can germinate, ...

A Complete Guide to the Key Technical Points for Establishing an Apricot Orchard for Kernel Production
Apricot trees are fruit trees that love sunlight, tolerate drought, and fear waterlogging and frost, so an orchard should be established on a sunny, high, and dry site; it must not be established on shady slopes, waterlogged lowlands, or valley bottoms where cold air easily settles. Apricot trees are long-lived fruit trees; generally even 100- to 200-year-old trees still bear heavily, so the planned row and plant spacing should be somewhat large. However, to meet the need for early high yields, temporary trees can be set up when the orchard is established, and gradually thinned out or transplanted as the trees age. The row and plant spacing for the permanent rows can be designed at 4 m x 6 m, and for temporarily densified orchards at 2 m x 3 m; by around 10 years of age the temporary trees should be dealt with in time.

Gansu Tianshui kernel-apricot cultivation technology passes appraisal
Recently, the project "Development of Wasteland Resources in Tianshui City -- Demonstration of High-Yield Cultivation Technology for 100,000 mu of Kernel Apricot," jointly undertaken and implemented by the Tianshui Municipal Fruit Tree Research Institute and the horticulture departments of various counties and districts, passed the achievement appraisal of the Provincial Science and Technology Department. Experts believe that the project uses "four types of wasteland" for kernel-apricot base construction, which not only saves cultivated land but also plays an important role in reducing soil erosion and windbreak and sand fixation, and its results have reached the advanced level of similar projects in China. Up to now, the city has built 20 mu of improved-variety kernel-apricot scion orchards, established 647 mu of improved-variety seedling bases, propagated 8.31 million improved-variety seedlings, and reached 116,700 mu of production bases, with an annual output of 682,300 kg and an output value of 27.292 million yuan.

Detailed Explanation of High-Light-Efficiency Tree Shape Renovation Techniques for Kernel Apricot
In regions where kernel apricots are cultivated, we found that due to the influence of traditional habits, most fruit growers either do not prune or prune unreasonably. Each tree has an average of 8 to 10 large branches, the tree shape is chaotic, the proportion of complete flowers is low, the fruiting zone moves outward, the canopy is closed and shaded, and the small fruit-bearing branches in the lower part die prematurely due to shading, resulting in late fruiting, low yield and poor quality of kernel apricots. Therefore, high-light-efficiency tree shape renovation must be carried out to improve quality and efficiency. High-light-efficiency tree structure for kernel apricots After several years of exploration and practice, we believe that the high-light-efficiency tree shape for apricot should be

Detailed Explanation of Knowledge About Third-Grade Improved Varieties of Kernel Apricots
1. Yiwofeng Yiwofeng, also known as Cibian and Xiaolongwangmao, is one of the main cultivars in Hebei. The fruit is oval, slightly more rounded than Longwangmao, with a single fruit weight of 8.5-11.0 grams and a maximum of 15 grams. The skin is yellow, and when fully ripe it splits along the suture, freestone. Single kernel weight is 1.6-1.9 grams, and the kernel yield rate is 18.5%-20.5%. Kernel weight is 0.52-0.62 grams, kernel extraction rate is 38.2%, the kernel flesh is milky white, and the taste is sweet and fragrant. Extremely high-yielding, but not resistant to late frost. 2. Sanganqi (provisional name) Sanganqi is from He

Apricot kernel cultivar Weixuan No. 1 is suitable for cultivation in cold regions
Weixuan No. 1 apricot kernel was bred by the Forestry Bureau of Weichang County and approved by the Hebei Provincial Forest Tree Improved Variety Approval Committee in 2007. 1. Cultivar characteristics. The tree has a relatively strong central leader, an open tree posture, and a natural round-headed tree shape. The branches have strong sprouting ability, and fruiting is mainly on short fruit spurs, though axillary flower buds can also bear fruit. Generally, it flowers and bears fruit 3 years after planting; a 5-year-old tree produces 25 kg of fruit per tree and 7.5 kg of kernels per tree, and enters full bearing period at 7-8 years. The fruit averages 13.6 g in weight (when the skin is green), is broadly ovate, with a greenish-yellow ground color and red on the sunny side.

What varieties are first-grade superior varieties of apricots for kernel use?
1. Longwangmao Among the apricot varieties for kernel use currently mainly cultivated in production in China, only Longwangmao is first-grade, and it is called "Longhuang Big Almond" internationally. The fruit is oblate, with an average single fruit weight of 18 g and a maximum of 24 g; the skin is orange-yellow and the flesh is thin; the stone is free. The kernel rate is 17.5%, and the dry stone weight is 2.3 g. The kernel yield is 37.6%, and the average dry kernel weight is 0.8-0.84 g. The kernel is flat and plump, conical with a flat base; the kernel skin is brownish-yellow, and the kernel flesh is milky white, fragrant and crisp in taste, with a slight bitterness. The average yield per tree at 5-6 years old

Introduction to the Characteristics of the Twin-Kernel Soft-Shell Almond Variety
The nut is round and spherical with a pointed tip and light brown color; sweet kernel; thick shell, averaging 0.10 cm; nut weight 1.77-1.83 g, with about 720 nuts per kilogram; kernel weight 0.98-1.15 g. Kernel yield 55.7%-63.0%, oil content 55.4%-56.0%. Twin-kernel rate about 80%. The tree habit is slightly spreading. It bears fruit mainly on small short fruiting branches, with relatively high yield. Strong resistance and wide adaptability. The fruit ripens in late August. Leaves are dark green, broadly lanceolate, with flat leaf margins. On small short fruiting branches there are 2-4 single flowers, white in color.

Detailed Explanation of Pruning and Training Techniques for Kernel Apricot
Apricot trees are extremely sun-loving. In other countries, tree forms with 2 main branches and no lateral branches on the trunk, or with 4 main branches and no lateral branches on the trunk, are often used. In China, the natural round-headed form or the open-center tiered form is usually adopted, and a few regions use the natural spindle form. In short, there should not be too many main branches, the spacing between tiers should be large, sunlight should be able to enter the inner canopy, there should be many small branch groups and few large branch groups, and then high yields can be achieved. 1. Pruning of young trees Young trees need to expand their canopy as quickly as possible. When pruning, moderately cut back the leaders of the main branches, remove competing branches, crowded branches and whorled branches, and let the main branch leaders grow outward at an angle as single leaders.

Canned Apricot Kernel Processing Methods and Technical Key Points
(1) Process flow: Raw materials → cleaning → shell cracking → material selection → rinsing and soaking → peeling → debittering → color protection → blanching and rinsing → canning → adding broth → exhausting and sealing → sterilization and cooling → heat preservation inspection → finished product (2) Technical requirements 1. Raw materials and cleaning: Select apricot kernels that are large, glossy, fresh, free from mold and damage, and wash them thoroughly with running clean water, then drain. 2. Shell cracking and material washing: Use manual or mechanical shelling to crack the shells and obtain the kernels, selecting high-quality apricot kernels that are plump, free from rot, deterioration and insect damage.
