So how do you grow fragrant pear? Today we will take a look at the cultivation methods for fragrant pear.
1. Cultivation Conditions
Cultivation conditions refer to the growing environment. The orchard site for fragrant pear should generally be chosen in a place with convenient transportation, and next, the soil fertility of the planting site should be good, it should be close to a water source, have convenient drainage and irrigation, and the soil should be sandy loam. For planting fragrant pear, we can prepare the land by pit cultivation, which can reduce the workload of planting. Generally, pits are dug at about 50 cm wide, 60 cm long, and 50 cm deep, then sufficient base fertilizer is scattered into the pits and covered with fine soil about 3 cm thick, after which we can wait to plant.
2. Seedling Selection
The selection of fragrant pear seedlings is an important basic condition for the survival of fragrant pear planting. We should buy fragrant pear seedlings from a regular seedling cultivation base, and next we should choose seedlings that are thick and strong, healthy, free from pest and disease damage, and have well-developed, undamaged roots. Next, if grafting is used for planting, then it is only necessary to choose one- or two-year-old, thick and strong seedlings for grafting.
3. Scientific Planting
After the young seedlings are purchased, they cannot be planted directly. First, we need to prune off part of the branches and leaves on the young seedlings. Then we need to check the roots of the seedlings, cut off some of the roots that have aged or lost moisture, and apply medicinal solution to the cut positions. Finally, plant one seedling in each pit, backfill with soil, and compact the ground.
4. Land Management
Fragrant pear cultivation is a long-term process, so in the first few years after planting we can intercrop other crops. However, during intercropping, it must not be excessive; at most it can last four years, and planting must stop in the fifth year. Next, at least three to four times of cultivating and weeding should be carried out each year. Each time it is best to deep plow about 25 cm, and at least once a year, soil should be mounded around the trees. Finally, note that the orchard should be cleaned and disinfected.
5. Fertilization Methods
Base fertilizer needs to be applied to fragrant pear trees every year, generally in spring and autumn each year. Base fertilizer is the most basic source of nutrients for fruit tree growth, and it can also improve soil structure. Generally, three to four topdressings are needed each year. During the period of sprouting and branch and leaf growth, nitrogen fertilizer is mainly used, combined with phosphate fertilizer. Next, after fragrant pear blooms, we need to apply nitrogen fertilizer and a three-element compound fertilizer, which can promote the growth of new branches. Then when flower buds grow, we need to apply nitrogen fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer. Finally, when the fruit is swelling, we need to apply phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer.
