The Latest Technical Methods and Tutorial for High-Yield Apple Planting

The apple can be called number one in the fruit world, whether in terms of production or market demand, and it is the best beauty product, as it can both help with weight loss and slim the figure, and smooth the skin, occupying an extremely large share of the market. Its planting area and range in our country are extremely wide, with an extremely high annual yield, but some fruit growers have extremely low yields when planting. How should this be solved? Below, Qinnong Net brings you high-yield apple planting technology. Let us learn about it together.

1. Seedling raising and field planting

Select sandy, slightly acidic or neutral soil with deep soil layers, rich organic matter, and good aeration and drainage to cultivate saplings. Control the planting spacing at about 100*50, and once the seedlings are well raised, they can be field planted. The advantage of raising seedlings is solving the problems of smaller fruit and uneven plant growth, and it also solves the problem of late fruit maturity to a certain extent, thus increasing yield.

2. Pruning and dwarfing

In order to prevent excessive growth of branches and leaves and improve fruit quality, pruning and dwarfing treatment are needed to increase the amount of light received by the plant's leaves, make growth stronger, promote earlier fruit maturity, and improve fruit quality and yield. Pruning is generally carried out when the saplings begin to form a crown, pruning according to their growth form, and appropriate pruning during the fruiting period reduces nutrient consumption and speeds up fruit enlargement. In addition, during the dormant period of the fruit tree, pruning can also reduce nutrient consumption and increase flowering and fruiting next time, but be careful not to prune heavily, so as not to damage the plant.

3. Artificial pollination

Generally, fruit trees are pollinated by bees or wind, but these conditions are unstable and have a certain degree of uncontrollability, so yield cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, in order to achieve high and excellent yield, artificial pollination is necessary. Bees can be kept when cultivating fruit trees, which can not only achieve the purpose of pollination, but also allow the sale of bee products, adding another source of income. Bee pollination must ensure the number of bees per hectare of planting area, and all pesticide spraying must also be stopped, so as to avoid poor pollination caused by large numbers of bee deaths. Artificial assisted pollination can also be used, selecting varieties with better compatibility for pollination, and removing the anthers promptly after pollination.

4. Fertilizer and water management

Apply sufficient base fertilizer at field planting, and begin topdressing fertilizer during the fruit growth period, choosing organic fertilizer combined with an appropriate amount of quick-acting chemical fertilizer, applied by combining furrow application and broadcast application. For mature trees, fertilizer can be applied by scattering, and water should be given promptly after fertilization so that the fertilizer begins to penetrate into the soil. When watering apple trees, be sure to pay attention to timing and climate changes. In spring, water appropriately to keep the soil moist; during the flowering period, water moderately to ensure the fruit-setting rate; during the fruit enlargement period, water sufficiently to speed up fruit enlargement.

The above is the high-yield apple planting technology brought to you by Qinnong Net. In the apple planting process, pests and diseases are also a factor affecting yield and quality. Pest and disease control methods should be done well to achieve the goal of high and excellent apple yield.
