How to Grow Chinese Dwarf Cherry? Latest Planting Techniques and Methods Tutorial
The Chinese dwarf cherry is a common fruit, also known as the calcium fruit, and has a fairly wide distribution range in China. It is mainly concentrated in provinces such as Jilin and Liaoning. The Chinese dwarf cherry also has certain medicinal effects, and its economic value is relatively high. Now the market demand for the Chinese dwarf cherry is increasing, so the requirements for yield are also getting higher and higher. So how should the Chinese dwarf cherry be planted? Below, the editor brings you the planting techniques for the Chinese dwarf cherry. Let's take a look!
1. Site selection and land preparation
The Chinese dwarf cherry is suitable for planting in places with sufficient sunlight and also a certain degree of shade. The soil must be ensured to have sufficient fertility, rich humus and a certain permeability; such soil can effectively ensure the growth of the Chinese dwarf cherry. After selecting the site, pay attention to doing the land preparation work well and deep-plow it about 30 cm. Then, when deep plowing, apply sufficient base fertilizer and mix it fully with the soil to improve soil fertility. Then make beds and ridges, and tread the field ridges firmly and compact them to improve the soil's water and fertilizer retention capacity, promote the growth of the Chinese dwarf cherry, and increase yield.
2. Timely planting
The planting time for the Chinese dwarf cherry is generally after leaf fall, or after the soil temperature rises and thaws in spring. If they are not soil-ball seedlings, then both spring and autumn can be used. When planting in spring, it is best to do so before the buds have expanded and matured. The planting time has a very great relationship with the subsequent growth capacity of the Chinese dwarf cherry. When planting, we also need to pay attention to controlling the planting density well. A plant spacing and row spacing of about 50 cm is the most suitable, which can both prevent overly dense planting and plants affecting each other's growth, and improve the utilization rate of land resources, making planting management work convenient.
3. Water and fertilizer management
⟦NL>Although the Chinese dwarf cherry has a strong tolerance for barren soil, when planted artificially, the yield is relatively high. Only by ensuring sufficient nutrients and water can the yield of the Chinese dwarf cherry be increased. So when we plant the Chinese dwarf cherry, we should topdress about three times a year, generally after the flowering period, the swelling period and harvest. Pay attention to the amount and type of fertilizer to prevent improper fertilization from causing fertilizer damage to the Chinese dwarf cherry. Then pay attention to observing the soil moisture condition to prevent insufficient water from affecting the growth of the Chinese dwarf cherry, and water frequently. However, there should not be too much water either. When there is too much water, drain it in time to avoid waterlogging and root damage, which would reduce yield.
4. Pest and disease control
Pest and disease control is the most important task when planting the Chinese dwarf cherry. Because pests and diseases are fatally harmful to the Chinese dwarf cherry, we must do a good job in pest and disease control when planting. Common pests and diseases of the Chinese dwarf cherry include powdery mildew, flower chafers, aphids, etc. However, the main issue is that pest damage is relatively serious, so prevention should be given priority. Do a good job of clearing the orchard in winter to destroy the overwintering sites of pest eggs. Then spray insecticides regularly, observe the growth situation frequently, and after abnormal situations occur, carry out targeted treatment according to the specific cause.
The above is a brief introduction to the planting techniques for the Chinese dwarf cherry. Planting the Chinese dwarf cherry is actually relatively simple, but we still need to do management work well to ensure yield and improve planting efficiency. That is all for today's introduction.
