What to Do When Longan Trees Don't Bear Fruit? The Latest Solutions Are Here
When growing longan, we find that many longan trees fail to bear fruit or bear very little fruit. So why does this happen? When longan trees fail to bear fruit or bear little fruit, the loss for growers is very great. When we encounter a situation where longan trees do not bear fruit, what should we do? And what issues should we pay attention to during the growing process? Let's read the interpretation of the content below together.
1. Why do longan trees fail to bear fruit?
Why do longan trees fail to bear fruit? There are many reasons for this phenomenon, so we need to analyze it from different aspects. For example, differences in longan varieties: some varieties are not suitable for local cultivation, so they are very likely to fail to bear fruit. Secondly, management is not in place, such as failure to prune branches and leaves reasonably, failure to carry out scientific water and fertilizer management, and failure to properly handle intertillage, weeding, and earthing up. There is also the failure to do a good job in pest and disease control, which leads to harm to the longan trees from pests and diseases, thereby causing longan trees to fail to bear fruit. Finally, climate conditions also have a relatively large impact on longan trees, because China's climate conditions vary greatly, and in a certain year the climate may change abruptly, causing temperature, rainfall, light, and so on to not meet the growth needs of longan trees, resulting in failure to bear fruit.
2. Solutions
When longan trees fail to bear fruit, in order to reduce the losses from cultivation, growers need to solve this problem in a targeted way. Generally, the first thing we need to do is understand the growth characteristics of longan trees, and then choose the planting site according to their growth characteristics. Next is to choose suitable varieties according to the local environment. Also, do not apply nitrogen fertilizer in a one-sided way, and carry out scientific fertilization; according to the different growth stages of longan trees, scientifically use organic fertilizer, microfertilizer, and inorganic fertilizer. Manage field moisture reasonably, maintain a certain level of humidity in the field, but avoid waterlogging.
3. Points to note
There are also many things we need to pay attention to when growing longan. First, we need to prune the longan trees to ensure ventilation and light penetration in the canopy, and thin out some of the longan tree's dense branches, weak branches, non-fruiting branches, sparsely fruiting branches, and water sprouts. Second is to increase the proportion of female flowers, so as to increase the fruit set of longan. There is also delaying the flowering period to increase the pollination rate of female flowers, thereby improving the fruit-setting rate of longan. Then, during the full bloom stage or fruit-setting stage of longan, we should reasonably thin flowers and fruits to ensure the yield and quality of longan. Finally, carry out scientific control of longan tree pests and diseases, such as anthracnose, sooty mold, leaf roller, and stink bug.
⟦NL>Many reasons can cause longan to fail to bear fruit during cultivation, but in fact the main reason is still the issue of cultivation techniques. If there are professional cultivation techniques and a rich understanding of longan cultivation, then these problems will be much fewer during the growing process.
