What are the key points of ginseng fruit planting techniques?
In one chapter of Journey to the West, the name of ginseng fruit appears, and it is also called an immortal fruit. In fact, ginseng fruit really exists in reality, and it is also loved by many people. Ginseng fruit has no stone, is high in protein and low in fat and sugar, and is the fruit most often eaten by many people during weight loss. It has anti-cancer, blood pressure-lowering and other effects, is very good for the human body, and its market value is also getting higher and higher, so the editor has put together simple ginseng fruit planting techniques for everyone's reference.
1. Site selection and land preparation
Although ginseng fruit is not strict about soil and can quickly adapt and grow normally in any kind of soil. However, experiments have shown that in fertile, loose, slightly acidic soil, ginseng fruit trees grow better, have relatively high yields, and produce better-quality fruit. So based on these conditions, the orchard location should be chosen in a place with strong soil permeability, convenient irrigation, sufficient water sources, and sufficient sunlight. Then level the land, and according to the land area, dig trenches evenly in the land. Make the field beds at a width and height specification of 70*10cm, and use disease-free seedlings with thick, strong branches for planting.
2. Fertilizer and water management
When planting, in addition to applying enough base fertilizer, there should be two topdressings during growth. The first topdressing should be when the seedlings grow to 0.3m, and the second should be before the flowering period. Each time, apply 5-6 jin each of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizer per mu. Do not damage the tree roots; fertilizer should be applied at a position about 10cm away from the tree roots. During flowering and fruiting, a small amount of trace elements can be sprayed appropriately to promote the speed of flowering and fruiting, but the concentration each time must not be too high. It can be applied more often but not in large amounts. At the Beginning of Spring and Beginning of Autumn, ginseng fruit needs water the most, and at this stage it should be watered frequently.
3. Pruning and training
Pruning and training ginseng fruit is a relatively important step, because ginseng fruit grows vigorously. For trees that are growing too vigorously, overly long branches should be pruned, and only about 4 strong, evenly distributed branches should be kept on the main trunk. All the rest should be removed, and the flower clusters on side branches must not exceed three, nor may the fruits on a flower cluster exceed three. The fruits on each tree should preferably not exceed 30, and excess flower clusters and fruits should all be removed. Because too many flowers and fruits will lead to insufficient nutrient supply, making it impossible to ensure the normal development of all fruits, and may instead reduce the quality of all fruits due to malnutrition.
4. Timely harvesting
Ginseng fruit generally matures at the seasonal change in August-September. Harvesting can begin when obvious purple stripes appear on the fruit surface, or when there are no stripes but the surface is smooth and reflective. If you plan to store it for a period after harvesting, then it can be harvested when it is 80% ripe. After harvesting, store it at room temperature for 1-2 months, and in spring it will fully ripen and enter the market.
The editor has briefly introduced ginseng fruit planting techniques for everyone. It should be noted that ginseng fruit is neither tolerant of waterlogging nor drought, so during planting, attention should be paid to protecting the surrounding temperature and humidity. Pay attention to drainage and irrigation to ensure the normal growth and development of ginseng fruit. In the early stage, the ginseng fruit stems are relatively thin and soft, so attention should also be paid to preventing lodging. More importantly, prevent and control pests and diseases of ginseng fruit, protecting both the ginseng fruit trees and your own economic interests.
