How to Increase the Yield of Honey Peaches? A Detailed Guide to the Latest Methods
Honey peach is a fruit that we all enjoy eating, and it can be said to be an evolved form of the wild peach. Moreover, the market demand for honey peaches is somewhat high right now, but the supply of honey peaches is insufficient. Many people have joined the ranks of honey peach cultivation, and the yield has increased noticeably. So today let us study together with Qinong Net how to increase the yield of honey peaches.
1. Fertilization Methods
Honey peaches must be fertilized three times every year. In the first year of planting, a base fertilizer must first be applied, generally using a large amount of manure combined with organic fertilizer. When the fruit tree has grown to a certain extent and is continuously producing new branches and leaves, a second fertilization should be carried out. At this time, urea and compound fertilizer can be used, which can promote the growth of branches and leaves. Finally, during flowering and fruiting, a large amount of fertilizer is needed, generally using potassium fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer, ammonia fertilizer and urea. This can promote flowering and protect the flowers, thereby increasing the fruit-setting rate.
2. Biotechnology
Biotechnology is becoming more and more advanced now, such as genetically modified soybeans, genetically modified vegetables, and so on. Therefore, we can also cultivate high-yield honey peach saplings through biotechnology and then plant them. This can not only increase the yield, but the organic honey peaches cultivated through biotechnology are also pollution-free and high-quality. Most importantly, it can also reduce environmental pollution.
3. Cultivation Techniques
To increase the yield of honey peaches, cultivation techniques are of course very important, so we must use the correct cultivation methods. Before planting, fruit tree saplings should be selected, and we should try to choose saplings that look vigorous and relatively thick and strong. Then plant them at a reasonable density. At the same time, after planting and once the fruit trees have survived, regular irrigation should be carried out until new roots grow, at which point watering can be stopped. Finally, when the fruit trees are flowering, a chemical agent can be sprayed to protect the flowers, and after fruit setting, the fruit should be protected.
4. Irrigation Methods
The name honey peach contains the word "water," so its water requirements are relatively strict. In our daily lives, we may adopt the method of direct irrigation, which both wastes water and sprays unevenly, and may cause the fruit trees to become diseased or even shorten their lifespan. Therefore, a new type of irrigation method has emerged: micro-sprinkler irrigation. Using micro-sprinkler irrigation saves both human resources and water resources, while also reducing environmental pollution. Finally, it well regulates the water needed by honey peaches, ultimately increasing the yield of honey peaches.
5. Soil Selection
In fact, honey peaches have extremely strong adaptability to soil, but if you want high yield, you must choose the soil most suitable for their growth. Honey peaches generally grow best in leaf mold, sandy soil and akadama soil, so we should plant them in these soils as much as possible. If these are not available, we can settle for the next best option and choose land with loose soil and relatively sufficient nutrients.
6. Disease Prevention
The main diseases of honey peaches are peach brown rot and peach anthracnose. To prevent these diseases in normal times, potassium fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer can be applied in greater amounts. These two diseases mainly harm the flowers and fruits, so in order to increase the yield, these diseases must be prevented in a timely manner. If the problem is found to be relatively serious, chemical treatment should be carried out. In order to avoid premature aging of honey peach trees, targeted chemical agents are also used for prevention. This can increase the lifespan of honey peaches and also play a certain role in increasing yield.
