Raspberry Planting Techniques and Methods Tutorial, Detailed Explanation of the Latest Cultivation Key Points
The raspberry plant is very common in rural areas, and many rural friends ate it when they were children. It has extremely strong adaptability, and there is a wide area in our country suitable for growing it. It has now become a relatively rare fruit with a sweet taste. So how should raspberries be grown? Let's learn about it together below.
1. Land selection and land preparation
Raspberries do not demand much from the land. A sunny and moist place is the first choice, and it is best if there is a water source nearby for convenient irrigation. It can survive even in somewhat poor soil. Before planting, just turn the soil. In the middle of the land, about every 1 m, a 20 cm wide passage can be reserved to make later harvesting and watering easier. Reserve the passages according to your actual planting terrain. Because the raspberry root system is relatively shallow and does not root deeply, the soil only needs to be turned about 30 cm deep. Break it up finely to avoid leaving continuous clods of soil.
2. Transplanting and final singling
Final singling should be done according to the required planting method. If the goal is convenient harvesting, then a row planting pattern is better. Later, a trellis needs to be set up so the plants can enjoy better sunlight, and a plant spacing of about 50 cm is sufficient. If planting in bush form to achieve the goal of high yield, then the holes can be dug larger, with 3 seedlings planted per hole, and a hole spacing of about 30 cm. Both methods have their own advantages. Everyone can choose according to their own needs.
3. Plant pruning
⟦NL>Pruning is a relatively important process in the planting process, and it generally needs to be completed before fruiting. When the seedlings have grown to about 40-80 cm, the base stems can be selectively pruned. Pruning is mainly for thin and weak branches and damaged branches. Some relatively dense areas should also be appropriately thinned. If there are too few branches, the growing tip can be appropriately removed so that more stems can grow. Doing this can ensure maximum use of nutrients during the later fruiting period, and secondly makes it less likely for raspberries to be infected by diseases.4. Fertilizer and water management
After transplanting the seedlings is completed, the first watering should be carried out. The water should soak through so the young seedlings can adapt to the new environment as soon as possible. The base fertilizer is mainly farmyard manure. Because the raspberry root system is relatively fragile, the concentration of farmyard manure needs to be somewhat lower, and it is best to stir it appropriately in the holes. In the early fruiting stage, watering with chemical fertilizer is the main method. Each time you water, do not pour it directly on the roots; sprinkle it evenly around the roots. Only in this way can the water be fully utilized.
The above is the general process of raspberry planting. Friends interested in this can consider it. This fruit, the raspberry, is actually quite tasty. For more information, you can come and consult us!
