How to Grow Nanguo Pears? The Latest Cultivation Techniques and Method Tutorial

The Nanguo pear is a specialty pear of southern Liaoning, and the Nanguo pear enjoys the reputation of “king of pears.” Its flavor is exceptionally delicious, its appearance glossy, and its flesh delicate and tasty, making it beloved by many people. Because of the Nanguo pear's unique fragrance, it has also been rated as one of the four famous pears of our country, and its economic value is very high. So how should Nanguo pears be grown? Below, the editor brings you the cultivation techniques for Nanguo pears. Let's take a look!

1. Selecting Seedlings and Building the Orchard

Before building the orchard, we must first select good pear seedlings. The choice of pear seedlings is very important for the growth and yield of the pear trees. We should choose disease- and pest-free seedlings with high, stable yield and strong growth. Then choose a plot with deep, loose, fertile soil and a low incidence of pests and diseases for planting. Deeply plow and cultivate it, apply fertilizer and disinfect it to improve soil fertility and safety. When applying base fertilizer, control the amount according to the orchard area to prevent excessive fertilizer from causing fertilizer damage to the pear seedlings.

2. Timely Planting

After building the orchard, choose a suitable time for planting. First, we must control the planting density and dig the planting holes properly, and when planting, appropriately mix fertilizer with straw and spread it into the planting holes, then plant the pear seedlings and backfill the soil. When backfilling, pat the soil firm, and the roots should be slightly above the ground level. When planting, pay attention to the depth of the planting holes; it should be neither too high nor too low, as either can affect the rooting and growth of the seedlings. Also, do a good job of planting management to ensure the survival rate of the young trees.

3. Post-Planting Management

After planting, we should bag the trunks to prevent pest damage. The main purpose is to protect the growth of the main and side branches of the seedlings and improve the survival rate. When the young trees begin to sprout, remove the bags promptly. After planting, keep the soil moist and water thoroughly to settle the roots, and water about once every 5 days or so, though the watering frequency can be appropriately increased over time. After watering, do a good job of earthing up the soil to prevent water loss. When the new shoots grow to about 8 cm, make a soil basin around the trunk to prepare for watering in the middle and later stages.

4. Field Management

When growing Nanguo pears, we should regularly cultivate and weed to prevent weeds from competing with the Nanguo pears for nutrients and to create a good growing environment for them. Because the Nanguo pear's growth cycle is relatively long, we should do a good job of topdressing during cultivation, paying attention to the nutrient ratios and amounts in the fertilizer. Appropriately apply fertilizer outside the roots and spray foliar fertilizer to ensure the healthy growth of the Nanguo pears. Then, according to the growth of the Nanguo pear trees, shape and prune appropriately to improve the tree's ventilation and light penetration, promote the growth of branches in the inner canopy, and prevent flowering and fruiting from being affected

The above is a brief introduction to Nanguo pear cultivation techniques. Growing Nanguo pears is relatively simple, but during cultivation we still need to do a good job of field management such as fertilizer and water management and pruning. Only in this way can we ensure the normal growth of Nanguo pears, increase their yield, and enhance fruit quality. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only.
