The latest tutorial on high-yield pear cultivation techniques and methods

The pear is one of China's three major fruits, with a long history of cultivation in China and an extremely wide distribution range. The pear is also a fruit that people love, as it is rich in nutrients. Besides being eaten fresh, it can also be made into many kinds of products, and it is an important export item for China. Most pears can bear fruit in the same year they are planted, and basically 100% bear fruit in the second year, with remarkable economic benefits. Below, Qinong Net brings you the high-yield cultivation techniques for pears.

1. Reasonable planting

Choose soil that is deep, loose and fertile, and well-drained for planting. The planting time can be from September to March of the following year, or before November. Before planting, dig a planting pit one meter long and one meter wide, then apply sufficient base fertilizer in the pit, and after covering with a layer of fine soil, it can be planted. Select saplings that are robust in growth, disease-free and undamaged for planting. Place them vertically into the planting pit, then earth up, and water thoroughly once. When planting, pay attention to planting density; it must not be too dense, generally with a plant-row spacing of 2*3 m.

2. Fertilizer and water management

In addition to applying sufficient base fertilizer at planting, topdressing is also needed later. Especially in the early stage, in order to make the pear trees grow quickly, nitrogen fertilizer is often applied to promote the growth of the pear trees. From after flowering to before flower bud differentiation, compound fertilizer should be applied to supplement the nutrients needed for plant growth. Then, during the fruit expansion stage, potassium fertilizer and a small amount of phosphorus fertilizer should be applied to make the fruit expand quickly. Pear trees have strong drought tolerance, and generally one watering after each topdressing is enough.

3. Pruning and pollination

In order to make the plants grow strong, bloom and bear more fruit, and increase yield, shaping and pruning are necessary. When the seedlings grow to 70 to 80 cm, they should be pruned to set the shape. Pruning the buds promotes branching and speeds up the formation of the tree crown. Once the tree shape has been formed, upright, overly dense large branches, water sprouts, diseased and pest-damaged branches, and ineffective branches should be pruned off, while more auxiliary nurturing branches should be retained. In addition, to ensure fruit output, besides increasing fertilizer during the flowering period, manual pollination should also be carried out to ensure a high yield.

4. Pest and disease control

Pests and diseases are also one of the reasons affecting pear tree yield. The main diseases of pear trees include powdery mildew, ring rot, and rust. They mainly harm the leaves and fruits of the plants, preventing normal growth and development and resulting in few flowers and fruits, and in severe cases causing plant death and total crop failure. The control method is agricultural control combined with chemical control: disinfect the saplings and soil before planting, and then spray chemical agents for control. The main pests of pear trees are aphids, pear psylla, pear fruit borers, and pear stem sawflies, etc. They suck the sap from young tender parts or gnaw on plant parts, affecting plant growth and reducing yield. Control should likewise combine the two methods: before overwintering, clear away weeds and debris around the plants to reduce pest sources, and when the disease or pests occur, spray chemical agents.
