What fruits can be grown in red soil? Suitable fruit varieties at a glance

Different soils and different growing environments support different species. So do you know what fruits can be grown in red soil? Let's take a look!

1. What fruits can be grown in red soil

Red soil is mainly acidic, so some subtropical cash fruits can be grown in it. For example, common fruits such as bananas and pineapples. The specific situation still needs to be analyzed case by case, as soil quality differs from region to region.

2. Measures for improving red soil

1. To make better use of red soil, its undesirable traits must be improved, including strong leaching, few mineral nutrients, high acidity, susceptibility to aluminum and manganese toxicity, poor fertilizer retention, and heavy texture or excessive sand content.

2. Measures for improving red soil include: planting trees and forests, leveling the land, mixing sand into foreign soil, strengthening water conservancy construction, increasing the organic matter content of red soil, scientific fertilization, applying lime, and adopting a reasonable cropping system. Mineral fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium can be applied in greater amounts; nitrogen fertilizer should preferably be applied deeply in granular or spherical form, and phosphorus fertilizer should preferably be mixed with organic fertilizer and made into granular fertilizer before application; apply lime to reduce the acidity of red soil; carry out reasonable tillage; select suitable crops and forest trees, and planting green manure is a key measure for improving red soil.

3. Converting dry land to paddy fields reduces soil erosion and is conducive to the accumulation of organic matter, improving red soil productivity; protect vegetation and prevent and control erosion. Any steep slope greater than 25° should mainly be planted with trees and grass, while slopes less than 25° should be planted on contour terraces or terraced fields of varying width built according to the steepness or gentleness of the slope.
