The Latest Methods to Improve the Fruit-Setting Rate of Shatian Pomelo

Shatian pomelo is a very popular variety among pomelos, and it gets its name because the first place it was planted in our country was Shatian Village in Guangxi. Shatian pomelo has high nutritional value, and its taste is also very good with thin skin and lots of flesh, so it is deeply loved by everyone in the market. To increase the yield of Shatian pomelo, you need to improve its fruit-setting rate, so how do we improve its fruit-setting rate? Let's take a look at the explanation below.

1. Plant pollinator trees

The arrangement of pollinator trees is generally planned well in advance at the time of planting. If the planting ratio of pollinator trees is incorrect, the success rate of pollination will be relatively low, and thus the yield of Shatian pomelo will not be high. In addition, if a single Shatian pomelo variety is used for pollination, its yield will also be extremely low. So in the future, to improve the success rate of pollination, in addition to the Shatian pomelo variety itself, we had better plant about eight percent sour pomelo trees, and plant them in a plum blossom shape.

2. Artificial supplementary pollination

Artificial supplementary pollination is also a very common method used to improve the fruit-setting rate. This method of improving the success rate of pollination is usually adopted when natural pollination cannot be completed due to the influence of weather, or when the natural pollination rate is not high. For artificial supplementary pollination, we can use two methods: releasing bees during the flowering period and collecting pollen for pollination. These two artificial supplementary pollination methods are also the most commonly used and the easiest to operate. But when pollinating, we should note that it is generally best to do it from 8 to 11 a.m. or from 4 to 8 p.m. on sunny or cloudy days. The pollination success rate is highest in these two time periods.

3. Flower thinning and fruit thinning

Flower thinning and fruit thinning is a way to improve the fruit-setting rate that many growers overlook. Many times growers think that the more flowers bloom, the higher its fruit-setting rate will be. Of course, this is not to say it is incorrect. It is just that everything has two sides, and when the fruit tree blooms too abundantly, if reasonable flower thinning is not carried out, then the later nutrition cannot keep up, and the natural flower drop phenomenon is very serious. At the same time, the fruit-setting rate is very high, but if fruit thinning is not carried out, then the physiological fruit drop phenomenon is also very serious. So in the future, to ensure the fruit-setting rate of Shatian pomelo, we should reasonably thin flowers during the full flowering period, and after fruit setting, reasonably thin fruits according to the principle of removing the weak and keeping the strong. This is the wisest approach.

4. Rational use of hormones and micro-fertilizers

Now many people say that using hormones to improve the fruit-setting rate has a very large impact on the quality of Shatian pomelo. So what the editor wants to say is that the rational and scientific use of hormones to improve the fruit-setting rate actually has little impact on the quality of Shatian pomelo, as long as hormones are not later used to promote the growth of Shatian pomelo. Generally, after flower drop or at the time of the first physiological fruit drop, we spray 5ppm of 2,4—+20ppm of 920+800 times “Shuofu” nutritional regulator. This can control the flower quantity and fruit-setting quantity of Shatian pomelo, and can also play a role in improving the quality of Shatian pomelo.

The above methods are all very effective methods for improving the fruit-setting rate and quality of Shatian pomelo, and I hope they can help everyone. At the same time, the editor also thanks everyone for their long-term support and encouragement. If you have other better methods, you can also leave a message below and share them together.
