What are the latest methods to increase grape yields?
Grapes are grown on a very large area in China, and many people grow one or two vines at home for their own consumption. However, for large-scale growers, what everyone thinks about is how to increase grape yields, and if you want to increase grape yields, doing a good job of management is very important. So how exactly should we go about it? Below, the editor brings you the methods for increasing grape yields. Let's take a look!
1. Water and fertilizer management
If you want to increase grape yields, the first thing you must certainly do well is water and fertilizer management. We should control the amount and frequency of fertilization according to the different growth stages of the grapes, meet the nutritional needs of the grapes at each growth stage, and promote normal grape growth. Then we should control the amount of watering according to the soil moisture content and the weather. When the soil is dry, water promptly to keep the soil moist. On the contrary, if water accumulates in the field, drain it promptly to avoid root rot and dead seedlings. To improve the utilization rate of water and fertilizer, you can appropriately spray New High Lipid Film.
2. Training and pruning
Grapes are a vining fruit plant, so when planting them, we must do a good job of training and pruning. If training and pruning are not done properly, the air and light penetration in the orchard will be reduced, greatly affecting the flowering and fruiting of the grapes. Grape pruning is mainly winter pruning and summer pruning. In winter pruning, the main targets are medium and long canes, and it is best not to use short-cane pruning. When pruning, be careful to stagger the upper and lower parts. Also pay close attention to summer pruning to improve air and light penetration. At the pruning wounds, apply an appropriate amount of anti-corrosion film to promote healing.
3. Flower and fruit thinning
Excessive fruit set is also one of the main reasons for low grape yields and poor fruit quality. Therefore, we should pay attention to the fruit load of the grapevines and do a good job of flower and fruit thinning. When grapes are grown, the biennial bearing phenomenon is very likely to occur. Biennial bearing causes an imbalance in the load on the grapevines, affects profits and the balance of the grapevines, and also has a great impact on the fruit trees. So every year when the grapevines are undergoing flower bud differentiation, appropriately apply agents such as Flower Promotion King, which can both promote flower bud differentiation and prevent excessive vegetative growth, improving the pollination rate.
4. Winter orchard cleaning
In winter, after the grapes are harvested, we also need to do a good job of cleaning the orchard. Prune off diseased canes, diseased leaves and fruits, etc. from the grapevines, then take them out of the orchard for disposal. Deeply turn and disinfect the soil once to eliminate overwintering sources of disease. If disease appears, promptly prune off the affected parts to prevent the pathogens from spreading and expanding the affected area. Then whitewash the trunks to avoid damage from pests and diseases, and appropriately spray New High Lipid Film to improve heat preservation and moisture conservation, helping the grapevines overwinter. Improving the production capacity of the grapevines naturally increases grape yields.
The above is a brief introduction to how to increase grape yields. If you want to increase grape yields, you must do a good job of management, so everyone must pay close attention. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and we hope it can be helpful to everyone!
