How much is bulk pecan wholesale per jin? With key planting techniques

Pecan, also known as longevity nut, is a nut with extremely high nutritional value, especially popular among people during the Chinese New Year. Therefore, many people want to grow one themselves, and to grow pecans, you need to understand its characteristics. So how much is bulk pecan wholesale per jin?What are the planting techniques?

I. Introduction to pecan:

1. What is pecan?

Pecan is a green, purely wild nut. Its outer shell is similar to that of walnut, very crisp and hard, but easy to peel. The kernel inside is tender and delicious, comparable to walnut, so it is very popular among people.

2. Where does pecan come from?

Pecan is native to North America, mostly produced in Canada, Mexico, the United States and other places. It has now been introduced to China and is planted in Guangdong, Taiwan, China, Xinjiang, Yunnan and other places in China. With the gradual increase in market demand, the production area is also gradually increasing.

II. How much is bulk pecan wholesale per jin?

Bulk pecan wholesale price is not expensive, generally around 30-50 yuan per jin. But if sold in supermarkets, it may be more expensive. If bought in bulk at nut markets, it will be cheaper, but no matter how cheap, it will not be lower than 30 yuan per jin. In addition, due to differences in origin, market and quality, prices will also vary to some extent, so when purchasing, try to check the local market. It is worth noting that many pecans on the market are old stock, and quality cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, be sure to choose fruits that are large and yellow-white in color. Do not buy fruits with quality problems just because they are cheap, after all, cheap goods are not good.

III. What are the pecan planting techniques?

1. Land selection and preparation: What soil is suitable for planting?

Pecan likes to grow in environments with loose, deep soil layers and sufficient water sources. Therefore, when selecting land, try to choose loam with sufficient water sources and shelter from wind and facing the sun for planting. After selecting the land, the soil should be deeply plowed, and a hole with a diameter of 1-1.5 m and a depth of 1-1.2 m should be dug, with a plant spacing of 4 m and a row spacing of 5 m, to facilitate later planting.

2. Planting seedlings: How to plant?

Place a layer of straw in the hole, then plant virus-free, robust seedlings into the hole, then slowly cover with 20 cm of soil, and apply about 50 kg of organic fertilizer and half a kg of calcium fertilizer on the surface.

3. Transplanting: How to transplant?

(1) Transplanting time: After leaf fall or before germination

(2) Transplanting method: Pull out large seedlings together with the mud ball, then plant them in a relatively large hole.

(3) Transplanting management techniques:

(3.1) Retain fibrous roots or lateral roots: Generally, 1-2 year old small seedlings should best retain lateral roots and fibrous roots, and be dipped in mud slurry in time to prevent root dehydration and affect survival.

(3.2) Keep warm in winter: When transplanting in winter, be sure to take good warmth measures. It is best to take measures such as burying soil and mounding soil to protect young trees from cold and from shoot dieback.

4. Field management techniques: What are the planting conditions?

(1) Pruning and shaping: During the growth period of pecan, diseased branches, dense branches and other branches will grow, so pruning should be carried out in due course according to the condition of the tree to ensure sufficient nutrients for each branch. Generally, in the early stage, more main branches should be retained to ensure good ventilation inside the canopy, so as to promote early fruiting. In the aging stage, branches above the newly grown branches of the canopy should be cut off to cultivate renewed branches that have already sprouted. When pruning, all dead parts of the main branches can also be cut off to maintain a good tree shape.

(2) Intertillage and weeding: When pecan has grown for 1-3 years, some crops such as corn and wheat should be planted in the field at the appropriate time. During intercropping, weeding and fertilizing should be done reasonably to ensure sufficient fertilizer. When fertilizing, try to apply organic fertilizers such as cake fertilizer and barnyard manure to increase soil fertility. When weeding, it is best to remove weeds and vines that consume nutrients in mid-July, and cover the soil with the weeds to provide fertility for winter.

(3) Reasonable fertilization: Pecan does not have high fertilizer requirements. Generally, one fertilization each before germination, during fruit expansion and at the late growth stage is enough. The specific fertilization methods are:

(3.1) Fertilization method before germination: Apply about 30 kg of urea per mu.

(3.2) Fertilization method during fruit expansion: Apply 80 kg of special fertilizer per mu. If in autumn, apply 3000 kg of base fertilizer.

(3.3) Fruiting stage: Generally spray foliar fertilizer once every 15 days. If in the early and late growth stages, 0.3% urea can be sprayed. In June-July, spray 0.3% monopotassium phosphate. In addition, according to the tree growth condition, applying 20 kg of corn straw and 5 kg of poultry manure per seedling can make the seedling grow rapidly.

(4) Pest and disease control: During the growth period of pecan, pests and diseases such as dieback disease and star longhorn beetle will appear, so prevention and control measures should be taken in advance. For diseased branches, pesticides such as carbendazim or chlorothalonil can be sprayed for control.

Overall, the market wholesale price of bulk pecan is not very expensive, generally 30-50 yuan can buy it. Due to differences in quality and market, prices will also vary to some extent, so when purchasing, try to check the local market. In addition, to achieve high pecan yields, basic management work such as water and fertilizer management and pruning must be done well.
