How to Manage Pomelo in Autumn? Detailed Explanation of the Latest Technical Points

In autumn, pomelo is in the critical period of autumn shoot growth through turning green and maturing, fruit expansion, and flower bud differentiation. Autumn pomelo management directly affects fruit quality and the yield of the coming year, so the management of pomelo in autumn cannot be neglected. So how should pomelo be managed in autumn? Follow the editor to learn about it.

1. Rational Fertilization

To ensure the quality and yield of pomelo, autumn fertilization at this time should focus on heavy application of farmyard manure to stable manure rich in phosphorus and potassium, while reducing the application of nitrogen fertilizer as much as possible. When the orchard is deficient in phosphorus, appropriately increase phosphorus fertilizer; when deficient in potassium, appropriately increase base fertilizer. Fertilization must be scientific and rational, with proper matching in terms of fertilizer amount, fertilizer ratio, and fertilization timing.

2. Rational Irrigation

When pomelo fruit continues to expand in autumn, irrigation can promptly supply water to the plant, allowing the pulp cells to divide and expand normally, which helps increase fruit volume and improve fruit quality. In addition, before the pomelo ripens, especially before harvest, water should be appropriately controlled, but water control should not be excessive, because excessive drought will inhibit the normal physiological activities of the plant, causing the fruit to reduce acidity slowly, resulting in relatively high fruit acidity.

3. Rational Pruning

In autumn, rational pruning should be used to increase the permeability of the plant. By thinning dense and weak branches, opening the angle of shoots, and changing the extension direction of branches, the light conditions of the plant can be changed, so that the fruit develops well and quality is improved. In addition, flower and fruit thinning can also regulate the fruit load, which can improve fruit size grade and internal quality.

4. Timely Harvest

Only after the pomelo fruit has gone through a specific growth and development process can it show its inherent quality characteristics, so it should not be harvested too early, as this will affect fruit quality and yield. But it also should not be harvested too late, otherwise storage will be unfavorable and fruit quality will be affected, so to ensure the variety quality of pomelo, timely harvest must be achieved.
