The Latest Crispy Kumquat Planting Techniques and Methods Tutorial

The crispy kumquat is a high-quality variety of kumquat. Its fruit turns orange-yellow when ripe and tastes sweet and fragrant, with a higher sweetness than ordinary kumquats. Its nutritional content is also relatively high, and it is drought-resistant and high-yielding, with strong market demand. So how should crispy kumquats be planted? Let's take a look together.

1. Site Selection and Orchard Establishment

When selecting a site, it is recommended to choose slightly acidic to neutral sandy loam soil. When planting, try to concentrate the plants in contiguous blocks, and it is better to establish the orchard on a plot with convenient transportation and sufficient water sources. Before planting, the transplanting holes need to be dug, and organic fertilizers such as composted pig manure or pig and cattle manure should be applied in each hole. Pay attention to the application rate of chemical fertilizers to avoid root rot.

2. Planting

When planting, it is advisable to choose seedlings of the authentic variety with well-healed graft unions, dark green leaves, and relatively developed and robust roots and stems. Place the healthy seedlings in the transplanting holes and hold them upright, spread out their roots and stems, and do not let them come into direct contact with fertilizer to avoid burning the roots. Then cover with soil, and the soil must be firmly compacted. After transplanting, water thoroughly once to help the roots survive.

3. Management After Planting

Management after planting is key to the survival of the seedlings. Crispy kumquats like to grow in humid environments but are afraid of waterlogging. Therefore, within one month after planting, watering should be done well, and the watering frequency should be reasonably determined according to climate changes. If planting in rice fields, pay attention to drainage to avoid waterlogging and root damage. In addition, during the growth and development of the main stem, pay attention to the application of base fertilizer and phosphorus-potassium fertilizer.

4. Pest and Disease Control

During the growth of crispy kumquats, pest and disease damage is inevitable. Because crispy kumquats have strong resistance, there are fewer diseases. The main disease is anthracnose, and the main pest is planthoppers. Among them, anthracnose can be controlled by spraying with 0.5% Bordeaux mixture, while planthoppers can be controlled in the early stage by alternately spraying miticides such as mite-killing agents, mite-control agents, and pyridaben.
