Planting Conditions and Pest and Disease Control Methods for Sugar Mandarin

The original place of origin of the sugar mandarin was Shatang Village, Huangtian Town, Sihui City, which is also where the name "shatang mandarin" comes from. It is grown in the areas of Huaiji, Guangning and Xinyi City, but today Lipu County, Guilin City, Guangxi is the largest county for growing sugar mandarins in China. Sugar mandarins are rich in many vitamins, suitable for both the elderly and children to eat, and are especially loved and welcomed by young people. So what are the planting conditions for sugar mandarins? How are pests and diseases controlled? Let's take a look below

I. Planting conditions for sugar mandarins

1. Temperature issues

You have heard of "oranges in the south become trifoliate oranges in the north", right? When a mandarin grows south of the Huai River it becomes a trifoliate orange. From this we can see that mandarins are extremely demanding when it comes to temperature. During the process of growing the fruit, if you do not pay attention to the temperature issue, it will bring you a lot of trouble. Although the sugar mandarin is not that strict about soil requirements, it is extremely strict about temperature. So you must ensure a warm and suitable temperature.

2. Light issues

The sugar mandarin is actually a shade-tolerant plant, which means that under natural conditions, even when it encounters insufficient light, it can still grow normally. But everyone should note that the light issue is more demanding than you might think. Ensuring its normal light will make its sugar content very high.

3. Water issues

In the process of growing this kind of mandarin, the annual precipitation must be ensured, at around one thousand millimeters, so that its normal growth can be guaranteed.

II. Pest and disease control for sugar mandarins

1. Anthracnose: cultivation management can be strengthened, and excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer should be prevented. During the spring and summer shoot emergence periods and before the fruit ripens, you can choose to spray zineb or chlorothalonil, spraying three to four times in succession, once every half a month.

2. Longhorn beetles: around June on sunny days, you can manually capture adult citrus longhorn beetles and green citrus longhorn beetles, promptly scrape off the eggs and newly hatched larvae, and prune off the damaged branches and tips. Insecticides can be used to poison the larvae.
