Detailed Explanation of Peach Planting Techniques and Management Key Points

Peach Peach, also called “eagle-beak honey peach”, “eagle-beak peach”, “Shangping honey peach”, “Pitou eagle-beak peach”. It is famous for its bright color, large fruit, tender flesh, and sweet, crisp taste. So what are the peach planting techniques?

Planting techniques

1. Fertilization techniques

Generally, fertilization is carried out before the seedlings sprout, during development, and after picking. Fertilization during development is to make the fruit more plump.

2. Drainage system

In order to protect the peach trees, the drip irrigation technology under film is used, so there will be no water accumulation in the planting base. This technology can not only save water resources and protect the soil structure, but also reduce the management work of farmers, making management more convenient. Because the humidity in the air is reduced, the growth rate of the fruit trees and the incidence of pests and diseases are controlled.

3. Autumn and winter pruning

When pruning, try to keep the 3 main branches in a Y shape or a natural open-center shape. The height of the main trunk is best at 40cm, and the inclination angle needs to be controlled between 45 and 65°, which can make the branches of the fruit tree look more beautiful. Because peach growth fears strong light exposure, but cannot lack photosynthesis. Therefore, in order to match its growth needs, prune the back branches, water sprouts, and overly vigorous branches. Fruit-bearing branches can be treated by twig twisting, pinching, and various other methods, so that the peach branches can develop under full branches; for overly vigorous branches, when the spring shoots have grown about 10cm, or after the fruit trees finish harvesting in autumn, spray the branches with 300 times paclobutrazol, which can effectively control the shoots and reduce excessive fruit production.

4. Fruit bagging

Bagging can avoid pollution of the fruit caused by pesticides and the environment, isolate pests and diseases, make the mature fruit smooth in appearance, and improve the quality of the peach.

5. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

The main insect pests that have the greatest impact on the peach are the fruit-sucking noctuid moth and the peach fruit borer, and the main diseases are scab and mildew spot shot-hole disease. To prevent and control these pests and diseases, methods such as pruning branches, leaves, and fruits eroded by pests and diseases, manually catching pests, covering the ground with film, or applying pesticides to the peach can control the incidence of pests and diseases through agricultural means; physical methods such as applying adhesive film on the trunk and black light lamps can also be used to lure pests and eliminate them; improve bagging quality, reduce fruit erosion by pests and diseases, and use bagging as much as possible to prevent pests and diseases.
