What are the orchard management measures for early spring? A detailed explanation of the latest key points

If an orchard is to grow well, then daily management must be done well, and the early spring season is a season that requires very careful management. What aspects of management does the orchard need to carry out at this stage? Let's find out below!

1. Balance tree vigor

For a tree to grow well, many aspects require human control, and tree vigor is a very important one. This actually refers to the overall growth condition of the tree. From the distribution of the branches and trunk to the density of the branches and leaves, and so on, fruit growers need to balance this issue. In particular, some large flowerless branches are the first targets that need to be dealt with. Next are the places where the leaves are dense after fruiting. These are all things to be cleared away, so that the tree vigor of the whole fruit tree is balanced and the fruit it grows is good.

2. Suppress the top and promote budding

The growth needs of fruit trees differ from those of other trees. Ordinary trees are expected to grow tall, while fruit trees pursue spreading branches and lush foliage, so that they bear more fruit and are convenient for picking. Suppressing the top and promoting budding is precisely to achieve this goal. To avoid the fruit tree concentrating all its nutrients at the top of the tree, it is necessary to inhibit the growth of the top part and then help other positions to sprout, allowing nutrients to be diverted to other branches and trunks. Only in this way is the growth of the fruit tree ideal.

3. Add fertilizer

Fertilizer is an important guarantee for the growth of fruit trees. In the early spring season the fruit trees begin to revive. After a winter of rest, their demand for nutrients is extremely high at this time, and applying topdressing fertilizer at this time is one of the most effective periods. When using fertilizer, give priority to decomposed farmyard manure, and chemical fertilizer second. Various trace elements should be properly mixed in, so that the fertilizer effect is good. At this time the soil contains relatively more water, so placing the fertilizer on the surface layer of the soil is enough. It neither damages the roots nor hinders absorption.

4. Do a good job of temperature monitoring

The temperature at this time is not very stable, and the fruit trees have just begun to revive. Temperature can easily affect the sprouting of new branches and buds, so special attention must be paid, especially during a late cold spell in spring. Keep an eye on the daily temperature changes, and understand the subsequent weather changes. If the later low-temperature period coincides with the budding period, you can prevent it in advance yourself and reduce losses. When the temperature is lower than the temperature the fruit trees can adapt to, it is best to take preventive measures first to prevent unnecessary losses.

The above are some of the management tasks for fruit trees in early spring. At this stage, fruit trees do not have very strong resistance, and factors such as pathogens and weather pose relatively large threats, so everyone must pay more attention.
