The Latest Cultivation Techniques and Planting Method Tutorial for Peaches
Peaches contain a variety of vitamins and other nutrients needed by the human body, with larger fruit shape, fragrant fruit, sweet fruit flavor and abundant juice. Because peaches are much better than other peach varieties, they are grown in many places in our country, but the most famous among them is the peach from Fenghua. So today let us follow the editor to learn about peach cultivation techniques and see how to grow high-yield, high-quality peaches.
1. Site Selection and Preparation
Peaches prefer warmth and moisture, but they have strong adaptability to the environment; however, if the growing environment is poor, the quality of the peaches grown will also be inferior. For the peach orchard site, we generally choose sandy loam soil with good drainage, deep soil layer, loose texture and slight acidity. Before planting, the orchard site should be improved: the soil needs to be deeply plowed, and sufficient farmyard manure should be applied to increase soil fertility. Then dig planting holes at a row spacing of 4 m and a plant spacing of 3 m, apply sufficient decomposed farmyard manure and phosphate fertilizer into the planting holes, then sprinkle a thin layer of soil and wait for planting.
2. Seedling Selection and Planting
For peach seedlings, we should choose according to local climate, soil, market and various other conditions. It is best to choose seedlings with high yield, excellent quality and high sales, and to reasonably distribute the peach maturity periods, matching early, mid and late varieties sensibly. Finally, properly prune the branches, leaves and roots of the selected peach saplings, then place them into the planting holes, allowing the roots to spread out fully, and finally straighten the sapling, backfill with soil, firm the ground with your feet, and water once.
3. Fertilizer and Water Management
Fertilizer and water management in peach cultivation is very important. In addition to the base fertilizer, we also need to carry out multiple topdressings, mainly according to the tree age of the peaches, different growth stages, cultivation management methods, external conditions and other specific circumstances. During topdressing, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are mainly used; especially during the flowering and fruiting periods of peaches, water must also be reasonably controlled to maintain a balanced water supply. In addition, we also need to carry out root fertilization and foliar fertilizer spraying to avoid tree vigor decline.
4. Pruning and Shaping
During the growth of peaches, in order to improve the yield and quality of the peaches, proper branch and leaf pruning and tree shaping are necessary. Peaches like light; for sufficient sunlight, branches that are too dense, overgrown, non-fruiting, disorderly growing, or diseased and pest-damaged should be pruned to maintain a complete natural open-center tree shape. When pruning, we should note that it must be divided into pruning of young trees, pruning of fruiting trees and pruning of aging trees; for specific pruning methods, you may consult us.
5. Disease and Pest Control
If field management work is not done properly, there will still be quite a few diseases and pests during the growth of peaches. Generally, the main ones include anthracnose, gummosis, scab, leaf curl, aphids, fruit borers, peach fruit moths and so on. We need to carry out control according to the specific disease occurrence; if you want to learn about peach tree disease and pest control methods, you can also continue to follow us.
