How to manage apple trees after flowering? A detailed explanation of the latest technical key points

Apple is a fruit with very high nutritional value, and its planting area in our country is also very large. When growing apples, a correct management method is directly related to the yield and quality of apples. Especially during the period after apple flowering when fruit is set, management during this time is very important. So how should apples be managed after flowering? Below, the editor will briefly introduce it to everyone, let's take a look together!

1. Fruit thinning and fruit setting

After the apple flowering period, it naturally enters the apple fruit-setting period. At this time, the first thing we need to do well is fruit thinning and fruit setting. When thinning and setting fruit, we should follow the principle of leaving more on vigorous trees and less on weak trees. At the same time, we should also pay attention to determining the fruit thinning position. Generally, fruits on robust branches on the lower side of fruit-bearing branches are suitable. Cluster branch fruits, short branch fruits, and some tip fruits should all be thinned out to avoid consuming too much nutrition and affecting the normal growth of healthy fruits. Otherwise, if the load exceeds the tree's capacity, then the growth of all fruits will be very unfavorable.

2. Supplement nutrients

After apple flowering, the demand for nutrients will also increase greatly. Therefore, we should also pay attention to doing a good job in fertilization to supplement sufficient growth nutrients for apple trees. Especially for falsely vigorous trees and trees that produce a large number of flowers due to excessive girdling, tree nutrition should be supplemented in time. At this time, the function of the tree's new leaves has not yet fully developed. Therefore, when supplementing nutrients, use the method of applying amino acid nutrients to the trunk. It is best not to choose special mixed fertilizer. When applying fertilizer underground, it should be done after the spring shoots stop growing in June. Avoid excessive spring shoot growth and the occurrence of undesirable phenomena.

3. Reasonable irrigation

Watering work is also very important. After flowering, apples also have a very large demand for water. Many areas are very prone to spring drought, which is very unfavorable to the growth of apple trees. Therefore, if there are irrigation conditions, then water in time to supplement water for the tree. However, when watering, remember not to use flood irrigation. Avoid too much water causing root rot, which instead affects apple growth. If there are no irrigation conditions, then you can store fertilizer water in holes, dilute the amino acids, and then pour them into the dug holes.

4. Tree management

Tree management work after apple flowering is also very important. Proper pruning and branch bending should be carried out to improve the tree's ventilation and light penetration, avoid consuming too much nutrition, and affect the fruit's nutrient absorption. For falsely vigorous branches on horizontal branches, if budding was suppressed before germination to promote sprouting, but now they are still bare-legged with no branches, then at the junction of the bare-legged part, the branch can be appropriately twisted. Bend down drooping branches. If the front end is upturned, then simply twist the branch at the curved part.

The above is a brief introduction to how to manage apples after flowering. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and I hope it can help everyone!
