The Latest Method Tutorial on High-Yield Cultivation Techniques for Pomelo Trees
Everyone must have eaten pomelo; it is very sweet, and market demand is not low either, with its market price staying in a relatively stable state. Wild pomelo trees can often be seen in rural areas, but this kind of wild pomelo tree is very sour. The main reason is that there is no manual good management of them. In fact, pomelo trees are very easy to grow; it mainly depends on the quality and yield of the fruit. So today the editor brings you the high-yield cultivation techniques for pomelo trees.
1. Site Selection and Orchard Establishment
Pomelo trees have relatively strong adaptability to soil and have no hard requirements for soil, so they can all grow normally. However, if you want to obtain high-quality, high-yield fruit, it is still best to establish the orchard on sandy soil that is fertile, deep and loose in texture, and has strong permeability and drainage. When establishing the orchard, the orchard layout should be reasonably planned, the orchard area determined, the planting density reasonably distributed, and a series of preparations such as roads and irrigation and drainage facilities set up, to facilitate later management. Try to establish the orchard in a place with convenient transportation, communications, and sufficient water sources, so as to facilitate later transport.
2. Seed Selection and Field Planting
After the orchard site is established, choosing an excellent variety is the key to high-yield planting. You should choose seedlings that are disease-free and pest-free, have strong growth vigor, and grow robustly. During transport, attention should be paid to preventing the seedlings from mechanical damage, which would affect the quality and growth of the seedlings. After pomelo trees mature, the tree body is relatively large, so when field planting, the planting pits should be dug large, with depth and width preferably around 80*100 cm. When planting, apply organic fertilizer together with the soil in layers and press it down. After planting, apply enough fixed-root water, then cover it with grass material to preserve water and moisture.
3. Management of Young Trees
Management of young trees after field planting is very important. Fertilization of young trees should mainly be frequent and light applications, with quick-acting fertilizer applied at least twice a month. In addition, some vegetable crops can be planted between the fruit tree rows, which can not only loosen the soil but also be turned into the soil after maturity to be used as fertilizer. Properly prune out excessive vegetative branches, and use methods such as bud wiping and shoot control to improve the permeability of the orchard canopy, promoting and strengthening the photosynthesis of the fruit trees. Then later, according to the growth condition of the fruit trees, carry out appropriate girdling on the tree body.
4. Fertilization Management
Fertilization of pomelo trees is mainly based on farmyard manure. Pomelo requires a large amount of nutrients during its growth process, so during cultivation you must ensure sufficient nutrients for the growth of the pomelo tree. When the pomelo tree is flowering and fruiting, chemical fertilizer must not be used, especially chlorine-containing fertilizer. For trees fruiting for the first time, fertilizer should be applied at least three times: the first time after harvest, then the second time when buds sprout in the spring of the second year, and the last time during fruit enlargement. It is mainly based on farmyard manure, and later topdressing work depends on the growth condition of the fruit trees and soil fertility.
The above is a brief introduction to the high-yield cultivation techniques for pomelo trees. The fact that pomelo trees can be seen everywhere in rural areas shows that pomelo trees have particularly strong growth ability. However, if fertilizer is not applied sufficiently and the tree body and watering are not well managed, the quality of the fruit will become very poor. Therefore, in the planting process, if you want to harvest very sweet fruit, you must strengthen orchard management such as fertilizer and water.
