The Latest Technical Methods and Tutorial for Kiwifruit Field Management

Kiwifruit, also known as the very popular "qiyiguo" of recent years, can be planted in most regions of our country, and the yields are all quite good. The main reason for this is related to its field management, as the methods of field management differ to a certain extent at different time periods. Below are some kiwifruit field management methods compiled by Qinnong.com for everyone's reference.

Spring Management

The first thing in spring field management is to prevent late frost damage. You must always pay attention to weather changes, then whitewash the tree trunks. If you have not had time to prepare and the plants have already been damaged, spray foliar Sea Spirit biostimulant and brassinolide to alleviate the frost damage symptoms. Second, in early spring, kiwifruit needs branch and leaf pruning: remove the aged vines, then gently wipe off the buds on the main vine, which can promote new branch growth. Finally, there is watering and fertilizing. First, we need to dig ring-shaped trenches near the plants, then evenly scatter the fertilizer into the trenches and cover it with soil, and finally water around the fertilized area.

Summer Management

Summer is usually represented by high temperatures and frequent rain, but it is also the time when kiwifruit blooms and sets fruit, so management during this period is very important. During this time, the most important thing is topdressing. We should fertilize according to the plant's growth conditions. If the plant is weak in growth and somewhat yellow, then we can apply a certain amount of urea. Apply fertilizer once ten days before flowering, apply fertilizer a second time half a month after flowering, and apply fertilizer a third time after the kiwifruit has set fruit. Usually, potassium fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer are the main types used. Second, when temperatures are high, we water once in the morning and once in the evening, which can help dissipate heat. When there is more rainfall, trenches should be opened in time for drainage.

Autumn Management

Kiwifruit generally begins to ripen from the end of August and continues until the end of October. During this ripening period, if summer management was done well, there are basically no problems. After the kiwifruit harvest is complete, which is in November, we need to start plowing the land and applying base fertilizer. When plowing, you must dig at least about 60 cm deep, and every kiwifruit seedling must be covered. Fertilization is mainly based on organic fertilizer, and can be used together with nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer, and compound fertilizer. The fertilization method is still trenching or ring-shaped trenching.

Kiwifruit has extremely strong cold resistance, but frost damage can sometimes still occur, so to be safe, warmth measures are still needed in winter. We can enhance the plant's resistance by increasing the application of organic fertilizer. Second, establish windbreak belts and carry out hilling to protect the trunks. At the same time, you can also pile some rice straw at the original site, which can also have an insulating effect. Second, winter requires branch and leaf pruning, mainly to regulate the relationship between kiwifruit growth and fruiting, so that it grows in a fixed direction the following year. At the same time, some diseased branches and old branches can be cut off, which can make the kiwifruit yield better the following year. Because pruning is done in winter, after pruning you must treat the cuts with a chemical agent, otherwise there will be bacterial infection, causing the plant to rot.
