What are the effects and benefits of spraying water during the flowering period of apricot trees?
What is the purpose of spraying water during the flowering period of apricot trees? How should the water be sprayed? Please provide an introduction. The flowering period of apricot trees coincides with the dry and windy season. The stigma of apricot flowers dries out relatively quickly, which affects pollen development and reduces the fruit-setting rate. Practice has shown that spraying clear water during the flowering period of apricot trees can significantly increase the fruit-setting rate, by more than 4 times compared with no water spraying...

The flowering period of apricot trees coincides with the dry and windy season. The stigma of apricot flowers dries out relatively quickly, which affects pollen development and reduces the fruit-setting rate. Practice has shown that spraying clear water during the flowering period of apricot trees can significantly increase the fruit-setting rate, by more than 4 times compared with no water spraying, with a yield increase of 27.6%. If 0.2% urea and 0.2% borax solution are added to the water when spraying, the yield-increasing effect is even better. Water spraying during the flowering period should be carried out at full bloom. The amount of water sprayed should not be too large, and a mist form is best, so as not to affect insect pollination.
