Detailed Explanation of the Planting and Management Techniques of Sanhong Honey Pomelo

Planting Sanhong honey pomelo requires building a pomelo orchard, selecting suitable seedlings, then expanding the planting holes and improving the soil to increase fertility; pruning is mainly done in the form of thinning branches, with more pruning of the outer branches of the canopy and less pruning of the inner branches. Fertilize reasonably during the growth stage, and the method of applying base fertilizer in autumn can be used, and reasonable fruit thinning and bagging should not be neglected either.

Planting and Management of Sanhong Honey Pomelo

1. When planting Sanhong honey pomelo, a spacing of 2.5x3 is generally adopted for plant spacing and row spacing, that is, the distance between honey pomelo plants in each row is 2.5 m, and the distance between two rows of honey pomelo trees is 3 m. Of course, the specific planting depends on the land area. In some areas, for the convenience of mechanization, a plant spacing and row spacing of 3.5x3 will be adopted.

2. After planting, build up the soil and water for the first time. This watering is called root-settling water, and it is a must after planting honey pomelo. If root-settling water is not applied, it can easily lead to poor root growth of the seedlings and thus death.

3. After spring arrives, the young trees will begin to sprout, and after the young trees sprout, topdressing work should be carried out. When topdressing young seedlings, attention should be paid to frequent and light application, and the amount used should not be too much. In addition to compound fertilizer, 1 – 2 year old young trees also need to be applied with organic fertilizer once a year, such as farmyard manure like chicken manure, sheep manure, and pond grass green mud.

4. Honey pomelo fruit trees also need attention to flower promotion. From the end of October when the autumn shoots mature to the end of the year is the flower bud differentiation period. During this period, flower promotion work should be done well. One is to spray paclobutrazol, and the other is to carry out girdling on the trees.
