The latest passion fruit planting technique method tutorial, how should passion fruit be managed when planting
Passion fruit is also called egg fruit, and it has been a very popular fruit in recent years, with demand all over our country. Passion fruit is a herbaceous vine, mainly grown in the tropical regions of our country. Passion fruit can be eaten as a fruit, and it also has great medicinal effects. So how should passion fruit be planted? And after planting, how should field management be carried out? Below, the editor will briefly introduce it to everyone, let's take a look!
1. Site selection and orchard establishment
Passion fruit has a relatively strong adaptability to soil, but when planting, it is still recommended to choose a sheltered gentle slope with sufficient sunlight, with sandy soil as the main soil type. Just ensure the soil is rich in humus, drainage and irrigation are normal, and the soil layer is deep. Because passion fruit is trailing, after choosing the site we also need to do a good job of trellising. The trellis can use wooden frames, iron frames, cement pillars, etc., with the height controlled at about 2 m, and the row spacing maintained at 2.5 m * 3.5 m. Dig the planting holes well, and the specifications of the planting holes can be maintained at 70 cm in length, width, and depth.
2. Propagation methods
The propagation method of passion fruit is generally mainly seed propagation. First, we need to select robust fruit trees without pests and diseases and with consistent fruit maturity as mother trees for collection. After the fruit is fully mature, pick it, then leave it for a period of time for after-ripening, then take out the seeds, wash off the mucus, dry them in the sun, and store them ready for sowing. Passion fruit sowing is mainly based on raising seedlings and transplanting, generally sown from March to May, with the sowing amount per mu maintained at about 0.6 kg. Before sowing, soak the seeds in water for a whole day, then use agents such as carbendazim to soak the seeds, disinfect the seeds, and improve the germination rate. Then do a good job of promoting germination. After about 80% of the seeds have sprouted, they can be sown. After sowing, cover with soil and water, and wait for the seedlings to emerge.
3. Timely planting
After the seedlings emerge, do a good job of pest and disease control, and water reasonably according to the soil moisture. When the seedlings grow about 3 true leaves, carry out thinning. Then plant timely according to the height of the seedlings. Generally, planting can begin when the seedlings grow to about 25 cm, and in places with good watering conditions, the planting time can be earlier. If the water source is insufficient, then it is best to plant during a time with sufficient rain. After planting, pay attention to keeping the soil moist, watering about once every half a month. When planting, pay attention to maintaining good row spacing, controlled at about 2-2.5 m.
4. Field management
Passion fruit likes to grow in a moist environment, and its tolerance to waterlogging and drought is very poor. When there is standing water, drain it in time, and when there is a lack of water, do a good job of watering. Especially during the fruiting period, the water requirement becomes greater, so increase the amount of watering. In the early stage of passion fruit growth, fertilization should mainly be nitrogen fertilizer, applied once every half a month per plant, mainly urea, peanut bran, or farmyard manure, with 15 kg applied per plant. Then as the passion fruit seedlings grow, appropriately increase the fertilization amount, and spray together with foliar fertilizer. After entering the production period, increase the proportion of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote flower bud differentiation. Then do a good job of pruning to improve the tree's ventilation and light transmission, increase yield, and enhance quality.
