How should pomegranate fruit be managed during the near-ripening stage? Please provide guidance
Generally, pomegranates mature successively after entering September, and management during this harvest period is very important. It mainly includes the following aspects:
1. After September, pomegranate fruit enters another peak of growth, and its growth rate is extremely fast compared with before. In terms of fertilizer application, foliar fertilizer should be the main focus, and soil-applied fertilizer should be mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. A large amount of nitrogen fertilizer must not be used again, to prevent many problems such as poor coloring of fruit during the ripening stage, decreased quality, and increased fruit cracking.
2. The damage caused by the last generation of peach fruit borers during the harvest period must not be ignored. The lesson from 2004 was that during the harvest period, larvae developed extremely quickly due to suitable temperatures and abundant nutrition. Fruit growers should carry out control early in 2005.
The control method is: use 25% chlorbenzuron No. 3 at 2000 times + 600 times Nongkang 120 + Youguo Calcium at 800 times + plant protection film. For individual trees with an excessively large fruit load, "Handifeng" can also be added and sprayed together (poisonous pesticides must not be used again).
The application of Nongkang 120 is very critical, and fruit growers are urged to remember to add it. While applying the pesticide, be sure to remove diseased and insect-damaged fruit. If individual fruit are diseased entirely, they should be pruned off together with the fruit-bearing branches to strictly prevent infection of other branches and fruit.
