How much do wild peach seeds cost per jin, plus sowing and seedling-raising techniques and the market conditions for the ripe harvesting season

The wild peach is a deciduous tree, reaching up to 10 m in height, with obovate or nearly round petals in pale pink or white; it propagates in diverse ways and its cultivation techniques are easy to carry out.So how much do wild peach seeds cost per jin? What are the sowing and seedling-raising techniques? In which month do they ripen and reach the market? How is the market trend moving? According to Mr. Fang, a wild peach grower, wild peach seeds generally cost 30 yuan per jin, and the sowing rate per mu is 25-30 jin.

What are the sowing and seedling-raising techniques for wild peach?

1. What kind of environment suits wild peach

The quality of the soil directly determines how strong the wild peach seedlings grow and whether their growth and development are healthy and vigorous. If the soil is very good and the growing environment is very good, then care becomes much easier, and the quality and growth rate of the seedlings rise accordingly. Wild peach has very few restrictions on soil type; it can grow in gravelly soil, loess, clay, and sandy soil without much trouble. But for sowing seedlings, you should choose good farmland with soft, well-aerated soil, rich in organic matter, on gentle terrain with smooth drainage. When the rainy season comes and rainfall increases, standing water must be able to drain away immediately, otherwise some seedlings may die. The key point of the land is that it should be good for drainage; average soil is about enough, and with sufficient sunlight, wild peach has fairly good cold tolerance, drought tolerance and water tolerance.

2. Land preparation

1. Plowing: wild peach seedlings respond especially quickly to soil nutrients; when the soil is nutrient-rich, they grow lush and vigorous with sturdy plants. But the soil in a small number of medicinal fields is land with only average nutrients, so if you want the seedlings to grow thick and strong, you must apply plenty of base fertilizer before planting, broadcasting 5-6.5 thousand kg of cow and pig manure per mu. After broadcasting the fertilizer, plow once and harrow once; only in this way will the soil and fertilizer mix evenly together, with no large clods, making planting and sprouting easy.

2. Making beds: to make irrigation, weeding, topdressing and other necessary management work easier throughout the entire growing period of wild peach seedlings, Changjing Landscape suggests making the land into fixed beds 1.4 m wide and 10-25 m long, with the actual situation determined by the site.

3. How to plant wild peach

Wild peach seeds are generally medium in size and have fairly good ability to push through the soil. Before planting, you can simply do some pre-sprouting treatment; some of the steps are actually very simple: soak them in cold water for 1 day, then take them out and dry the surface, and they are ready to sow. The planting depth should be moderate or very shallow, with the soil cover no more than 4 cm thick. Most people sow in rows, and after planting they can also lay insulation film or moisture-retaining material such as wheat straw to increase the germination rate. After sowing, you can cover the soil by raking by hand or by machine, and after covering the soil, water once; germination will occur in about 8-10 days.

4. How to care for wild peach

The management workload during the wild peach growing period is relatively small; it basically has no diseases and its growth and development are good. The most important tasks are only irrigation, weeding and pest control. During the peak growth and development of Astragalus, unrestricted fertilizer and water are required; during this period, 50 kg of chemical fertilizer can be topdressed per mu. During the fastest growth and development of wild peach, sufficient water is also required; at this time, decide whether watering is needed according to the weather conditions.

In which month do wild peaches ripen and reach the market?

Wild peach flowering time is in April, and the ripening period is from July to September; it is a kind of peach spread throughout the country. Generally it blooms in spring and sets fruit in late summer and early autumn, and some varieties bear fruit in summer. It can be cultivated and planted throughout the whole territory of China; the peach tree propagates in diverse ways and its cultivation techniques are easy to carry out, and common pests and diseases need effective control during the growing period. It has many varieties and a great array of names. Wild peach needs to have its fuzz removed or its skin peeled when eaten; because wild peach suffers very serious pests and diseases during the growing period, it is recommended to peel it before eating.
