A Detailed Explanation of the Latest Key Management Points for Cherry Orchards

When planting cherry trees, management of the entire orchard is very important, and the level of your yield will largely be affected by this. Some people always feel that their yield just won't go up, so have you considered whether you have done enough in this regard? Let's take a look below!

1. Water correctly

This refers to standardizing water use during planting. In fact, many growers have never systematically learned about this, and watering basically relies on their own experience, which means water use is sometimes not very regular. Cherry watering aims for fewer times but larger amounts, because due to the distribution of its root system, too much water will stop it from growing. Water should not be poured directly onto the roots; it should be poured around them so the water slowly seeps into the soil and is absorbed, which gives the best effect. These are several key issues in watering. In addition, cherry trees need the most water during the fruiting period, and everyone should also know this. Only with enough water will the fruit be plump.

2. Pay attention to pesticide concentration

A cherry orchard needs pesticides in many places. Pest control, disinfection, diseases and so on all require the use of some chemicals. The chemicals needed may be rather many, and the concentrations of various applications differ. If the concentration is too low, the desired effect cannot be achieved; if it is too high, more residues will form and affect the orchard. So when purchasing, you must first understand what concentration should be prepared. Do not go by your own habits, because the concentration needed is not the same every time. You should know that too much residue will cause the yield of the entire orchard to drop extremely quickly and will also affect the growth of the fruit trees.

3. Prune regularly

Pruning is a key point in every orchard. After all, fruit trees have no ability to adjust their own branches and trunks. Those with relatively good cherry yield and quality have certainly put in a lot of effort in pruning. Cherry trees are pruned about 2-3 times each year, with one heavy pruning and the others just slight pruning. Doing this not only gives the cherry trees enough recovery time, but also prevents some small problems with branches and leaves at other stages. The goal of pruning is to keep the tree vigor good, the distribution of branches and leaves reasonable, and no diseased or dead branches present, so each time you prune you should know what your goal is for that pruning.

4. Improve the orchard

This is a relatively general aspect, but it mainly includes two points: one refers to the orchard being able to continue planting, and the other refers to the repair and construction of various equipment. The service life of an orchard generally depends on the level of management. Preventing soil infertility, preventing soil compaction and so on are all beneficial to the orchard's continued planting, while protection measures against severe weather, improvement of the drainage system, and preparation of watering equipment are all preparations made for the healthy development of the orchard. When managing an orchard, you must always work hard in this regard. This is inherently a continuous and long-term matter.

The above are the key points of cherry orchard management. Only with good management will the later returns be high. By then, when other people's cherry orchards are no good after 5 years, yours will still be normal after 7-8 years. Only then can everyone intuitively feel the effort they put in earlier.
