What should be done in pear orchard management from June to July?

1. Continue to do a good job of shaping young pear trees.

A good tree shape is the foundation for high-quality and high-yield pear trees. The “low-crown open-center” type is recommended, that is, one main trunk and 2-3 large main branches. This tree shape is especially suitable for coastal areas and is also one of the effective measures to prevent typhoon damage.

2. Focus on fertilizer and water management. Fertilizer and water management is fundamental. Only by meeting and promoting the rapid growth of young pear trees with high-standard fertilizer and water conditions can a high-yield framework be formed quickly, so as to achieve the goal of early production. Fertilization principle: “apply thin fertilizer frequently.” Method: apply fertilizer once every 20-30 days. In the early stage, mainly nitrogen fertilizer, with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer applied as well. Use 0.1 kg of 45% compound fertilizer per plant, and when the soil is moist, broadcast it around the root area of the pear tree.

3. Focus on pest and disease control. At present, the main pear tree diseases include “pear scab” and “black spot disease”; the main pests include “pear psylla,” “pear stink bug,” “scarab beetle,” “longhorn beetle,” etc. You can use “insecticidal compound” at 3000 times + “Daconil” at 600 times + 0.2-0.3% monopotassium phosphate, and spray in the evening for control, then spray once more after an interval of 15-20 days.

4. Continue to do a good job of ditching and drainage in the pear orchard to lower the groundwater level. It is now the plum rain season, so the ditches must be interconnected, drainage must be smooth, and there must be no standing water.

II. Production pear orchard:

1. Quickly finish the final work of fruit thinning and bagging.

2. Apply more fruit-swelling fertilizer: according to tree age and fruiting conditions, additional fruit-swelling fertilizer should be applied before early July, preferably in two applications. Apply 1-1.5 kg of 45% compound fertilizer per plant to promote pear fruit expansion and achieve high quality and premium fruit.

3. Continue to do a good job of pest and disease control in the pear orchard. Production pear orchards have lush branches and leaves, and pest and disease damage is relatively greater. The pesticides used are the same as for young pear orchards, but spraying must be careful and thorough, striving to reduce pest and disease damage to a minimum and ensure the production of high-quality pollution-free fruit.
