The Latest Bagging Technique and Method Tutorial for Shatian Pomelo
Shatian pomelo is a relatively common pomelo variety in our daily lives, and Shatian pomelo also has a certain planting area in China. At present, the main goal of fruit growers is to increase the yield of Shatian pomelo and raise their own economic returns from planting. In fact, bagging Shatian pomelo can promote its growth and increase yield. So how should Shatian pomelo be bagged? Below, the editor brings you the bagging technique for Shatian pomelo. Let's take a look!
1. Bag selection
Bag selection is very important. Many people know that bagging Shatian pomelo is beneficial to fruit growth and development. However, when choosing bags, some choose low-quality plastic bags just to save money. Such bags are airtight and cannot drain water, which instead threatens fruit growth, and it would be better not to bag at all. Therefore, when choosing bags, we should choose double-layer special Shatian pomelo bags made of paper or kraft paper to ensure that water will not accumulate and fruit development will not be affected.
2. Bagging time
The bagging time for Shatian pomelo should be determined according to different planting regions, because the occurrence patterns of pests and diseases differ from place to place. However, about 1.5 months after the Shatian pomelo flowers fade is the best bagging period, mainly based on the habits of the fruit. If bagging is done too early, the Shatian pomelo fruit is too tender and has not yet gone through stable physiological fruit drop, so bagging will intensify fruit drop and is not conducive to observing fruit development. If bagging is done too late, pest damage occurs more seriously and the effect of bagging is basically lost. In pest-free areas, it may be appropriately delayed.
3. Fruit setting and fruit dipping
Before bagging, the number of fruits should be controlled well, with appropriate fruit thinning to prevent exceeding the fruit load. Generally, the number of fruits on each fruiting branch should not exceed two, and the rest should be removed cleanly. Also ensure that leaves around the bagged fruit will not fall into the bag, so as to avoid leaves piercing the fruit bag and affecting the bagging effect. Then disinfect the fruit. During disinfection, note that all parts covered by the bag must be disinfected, such as branches and fruit stalks, to prevent pathogen invasion and the occurrence of pests and diseases. The disinfectant can use thiophanate-methyl wettable powder and Lorsban, etc. If canker disease is severe in the orchard, streptomycin can be appropriately added.
4. Bagging method
When bagging, pay attention to the weather. Do not choose rainy days. If the fruit surface carries rainwater into a closed environment, various pests and diseases are very likely to occur, causing the bagging effect to fail completely. Bag immediately after fruit dipping. Open the bag, then hold the bag with one hand and the young fruit with the other, and place the young fruit into the center of the bag. Then tie the bag opening tightly to the branch with string, ensuring only that the bag will not fall off, and then smooth out the fruit bag so that it hangs naturally.
The above is a brief introduction to the bagging technique for Shatian pomelo. Bagging Shatian pomelo can now be said to be a basic task in our planting process. However, bagging is not a simple matter. What the editor mentioned above is only some surface-level and most basic information, and more techniques still need to be explored by everyone.
