What is the cultivation technique for hazelnuts, known as the king of nuts?

The hazelnut has the reputation of being the “king of nuts”. It is also one of the economic crops that people are currently optimistic about. Many people want to plant it, but suffer from a lack of cultivation technique. Below, the editor of Tuliu.com will teach everyone the hazelnut cultivation technique.

Hazelnut cultivation technique

1. Reasonable close planting

1. Reasonable close planting is a condition for a crop to grow well, and the planting density depends on many aspects. The first is the type, variety, cultivation technique, etc., and the second is the tree's shape, terrain, soil conditions and climate temperature, etc. So when planting, we must first consider the planting density from these aspects.

2. In areas with relatively flat terrain and for varieties with vigorous growth and an open crown, the row spacing of each hazelnut tree should be slightly wider, while in areas with relatively barren soil and for varieties with relatively weak growth and curved, small tree shapes, the planting density should be greater.

2. Cultivation depth

The cultivation depth of the plant will directly determine the final yield. During cultivation, the roots must not be buried too deep or too shallow. After cultivation, the root crown and the ground should be level or not lower than five cm. The most suitable cultivation depth is about eight cm. If the cultivation soil is relatively loose and soft, it should be watered appropriately before planting, or the soil should be gently tamped down with the foot.

3. Field management

1. Water management

The hazelnut is a shrub that relatively likes water. After the hazelnut trees are planted, a watering tree basin should be built immediately around all the hazelnut trees, with a diameter of at least one m, to facilitate later watering. After planting, water immediately, and be sure to apply enough so that sufficient water penetrates into the soil, then seal the soil to preserve moisture, and then cover the tree basin with plastic film, which can be used to keep warm and retain moisture, promote root growth and development, and thereby increase the survival rate of the hazelnut trees.

2. Fertilization management

The hazelnut does not need much fertilizer. Usually, decomposed farmyard manure is applied once around the beginning of summer, then a compound fertilizer is applied once in July, and in the second year, fertilizer can be applied around the outer perimeter of the hazelnut trees, but care must be taken not to apply too deeply or in excessive amounts.
