How to water pomegranates? A detailed guide to the latest methods

I believe everyone has eaten pomegranates. They are juicy and sweet, and they also have beauty benefits for women, so many women prefer to buy pomegranates to eat. Market demand is growing, and more people are growing them. The pomegranate has three watering periods throughout its growth cycle, namely the freezing water, the budbreak water, and the post-flowering fruit-promoting water. So how should pomegranates be watered? Let's find out together.

1. Freezing water

This watering is done before the pomegranate freezes. Combined with deep autumn plowing, organic fertilizer is applied, and the fruit trees are watered thoroughly before freezing. This can promote the decomposition of organic fertilizer and the breakdown of high-moisture minerals, which helps the pomegranate roots absorb nutrients and complete nutrient accumulation. It can also promote the quality of flower bud differentiation in the fruit trees the following year, especially normal flower bud differentiation and growth in the following spring. At the same time, watering freezing water also improves the cold resistance of the fruit trees, helping them overwinter safely. If there is more rain in autumn, the winter freezing water can be appropriately delayed. If there is a water shortage, watering can also be done in the following spring.

2. Budbreak water

Pomegranate budbreak water is generally applied in early March. Watering budbreak water on pomegranates can promote uniform fruit budbreak, promote budding, flowering, and new shoot growth, and increase total leaf area. It improves photosynthetic efficiency, promotes flower development, and increases the fruit-setting rate. Watering budbreak water on pomegranate trees can also prevent damage from late frost and cold spells in late spring. The timing of budbreak water should not be too early or too heavy, so as to avoid excessive water causing excessive vegetative growth of branches and leaves and worsening flower and fruit drop.

3. Post-flowering fruit-promoting water

This irrigation begins after the full flowering period. Pomegranate young fruits begin to develop, and the fruits enter a rapid expansion stage. Timely irrigation can meet the water requirements for the expansion of pomegranate young fruits, reduce flower and fruit drop, promote fruit enlargement, and achieve the goal of increasing yield. In high-yield orchards, after the flowering period ends, that is, after 1 month, which is early July, water 2-3 times in a timely manner according to soil moisture content.
