Dekopon is suitable for growing in an environment with deep and fertile soil, moderate acidity and alkalinity, and a relatively small slope. Therefore, when selecting land, try to choose gentle slope areas with a slope of less than 25 degrees for planting. After selecting the land, the soil should be deeply plowed, and an appropriate amount of base fertilizer should be applied. Then, according to a plant spacing of 3 m and a row spacing of 4 m, dig a hole 80 cm wide and 90 cm deep for later planting.

Go to the seedling market and buy some young seedlings that look robust, have thick roots, and have no disease or damage on the surface.

(1) Planting time: February in spring or September to November.
(2) Planting method: first spread 40 to 50 cm of base fertilizer into the hole, then spread 3 to 4 cm of fine soil, finally straighten the root system of the young seedling and plant it into the hole, then straighten it, cover it with soil, press it firm, and water an appropriate amount.

Generally, during the seedling stage, nitrogen fertilizer and ternary compound fertilizer are applied 5 to 6 times, and during the growth period, long flowering period, fruiting period and after fruiting, base fertilizer is applied once each time. The specific amount of fertilizer applied is determined according to the fertility of the soil.
(2) Water requirements: Dekopon does not have high water requirements, as long as the soil is kept moist. Generally, in dry summer seasons, the amount of watering can be appropriately increased, and in rainy seasons drainage measures should be done well. In the later stage of fruit growth, watering can be appropriately reduced.
(3) Pruning and shaping: during the growth period of Dekopon, some diseased branches, miscellaneous branches, low branches and other branches that are unfavorable to plant growth will grow, so pruning should be carried out in due course according to the growth condition of the plant. Generally, there is little need for pruning during the young tree stage. During the fruiting stage, some skeletal branches can be cut off, and during the full fruiting stage, some dead branches, dense branches, weak branches, old branches, etc. can be cut off.
(4) Pest and disease control: during the growth period of Dekopon, pests and diseases such as anthracnose, aphids, longhorn beetles, and flower bud maggots will appear, so prevention and control measures should be taken in advance. For those that have already developed pests and diseases, special agents such as chlorothalonil, zineb or dimethoate can be used for control.
