How much is a jin of nectarines on the market? The growing techniques are worth saving

Nectarine, also known as peach-plum, is a variant peach produced by crossing a plum and a peach. Its skin is smooth and hairless, and it is deeply loved by people for its crisp, sweet flesh and high nutritional value. It is currently planted in many regions, so how much is a jin of nectarines on the market? What growing techniques are there?

I. Introduction to nectarines:

1. What varieties of nectarine are there?

Nectarines are divided into three varieties: early, mid-season and late. Among them, the early-maturing varieties include Shuguang, Shuangxihong, Qiannianhong, Fengguang, Hongmangguo nectarine, etc.; the mid-maturing varieties include Qinguang, Meiguihong, etc.; the late-maturing varieties include: Hongfurong, Meiqiu, Xiaguang, etc.

2. Where do nectarines come from?

There are many places of origin for nectarines, distributed in Taiwan, China, Hainan, Tibet, Hebei, Shandong and other places. Among them, Shandong and Hebei are the main producing areas, and the peaches produced there taste very good.

II. How much is a jin of nectarines on the market?

Market prices for nectarines vary, generally around 6 to 24 yuan per jin, but due to differences in place of origin, variety, market and time of listing, prices will differ to some extent. For example, at the Hexi Agricultural and Sideline Products Market in Taiyuan, the market price of nectarines reaches 21.5 yuan per jin, while the selling price at the Daguanglu Agricultural and Sideline Products Wholesale Market in Chaoyang District, Beijing is around 6 yuan per jin. If you buy them when they are in season, the market price will be cheaper, but not by much, so when buying, try to check your local market. The latest prices in markets around the country recently are as follows:

III. What growing techniques are there for nectarines?

1. Site selection and land preparation: What kind of land is suitable for planting?

Nectarines are suitable for growing in loose, deep soil rich in nutrients, so when choosing a site, try to choose loam rich in organic matter for planting. After choosing the site, deep-plow and level the soil, then dig holes 60 to 80 cm deep and 80 to 100 cm wide, with a row spacing of 1 m, and apply 5000 kg of organic fertilizer and 100 kg of calcium fertilizer per mu.

2. Transplanting and planting: How to plant?

(1) Planting time: Planting can be done from after leaf fall in autumn to before bud break the following spring, but planting after leaf fall in autumn is best, as it benefits root growth.

(2) Planting method: Straighten out the root system of the nectarine seedlings, then slowly plant them into the holes, and finally straighten the seedlings and cover them with soil.

(3) Planting density: Generally, planting about 220 seedlings per mu is best.

3. Field management techniques: How to manage?

(1) Water requirements: After successful planting, water immediately, and after the water has infiltrated, cover with a small amount of soil to prevent the roots from shifting. If watering in winter, it is best to cover the area around the tree with a layer of plastic film to retain moisture and increase the survival rate of the seedlings.

(2) Fertilizer requirements: Nectarines do not have high fertilizer requirements. Generally, starting from the second year, applying 150 to 200 kg of farmyard manure per seedling each year is sufficient. During the fruiting period, appropriately add nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other fertilizers to ensure the seedlings have sufficient nutrients. If they are 2- to 4-year-old young trees, it is best to apply 1 to 4 kg of nitrogen fertilizer and a small amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer per tree each year to promote rapid growth of the seedlings.

(3) Pruning and shaping: After nectarines grow for a period of time, they will produce many vigorous branches, weak branches, dead branches, diseased branches and other branches that are not conducive to seedling growth. At this time, these undesirable branches should be cut off according to the growth condition of the tree, in order to increase branching and promote the growth of new branches. When pruning, the three-main-branch natural open-center shape and the two-main-branch open-center shape are often used, which not only have suitable density but also good ventilation, benefiting the growth of each branch.

Overall, market prices for nectarines vary, so when buying, try to check your local market. In addition, to grow nectarines well, you need to do a good job with watering, fertilizing and pruning, so that the fruit produced will be large and sweet.
