How to grow yellow peaches to increase yield?
Yellow peach is a fruit with very high nutritional value, but the current yield is not particularly good, either there are not many fruits, or the quality is poor. Many methods have been tried, and although there has been some improvement, the effect is not obvious. So what exactly should be done to increase the yield of yellow peaches? Today Qinnong.com will teach everyone how to increase the yield of yellow peaches.
1. Select good varieties
Since yellow peaches have strong resistance, they can be planted anywhere, but when it comes time to bear fruit, you will find that the yield of yellow peaches planted in some places is not very good. What is the reason for this? It is because the yellow peach variety you planted is not particularly suitable for planting there. There are now very many types of yellow peaches, such as Jiashan yellow peach, Dalian yellow peach, Guangming yellow peach, and so on. Some of them have stronger cold resistance, some have stronger disease resistance, and others have strong drought resistance or waterlogging resistance. So when planting, you need to investigate the local climate, and then choose the most suitable variety, so as to fundamentally solve the problem of yellow peach yield.
2. Improve fertilizer use
Improving fertilizer use includes two aspects. The first is the type of fertilizer, and the second is the method of fertilization. First let us look at the types of fertilizer. In general, farmyard manure is the main type, followed by urea to promote growth, then boron fertilizer and potassium fertilizer to protect the fruit, and finally some phosphate fertilizer, compound fertilizer, and nitrogen fertilizer as supplements. The fertilization method is divided into three stages: the seedling stage favors urea, adult fruit trees favor phosphate fertilizer, and aging fruit trees favor potassium fertilizer. Fertilization of adult fruit trees is the most critical, and it is divided into three steps. The first is the leaf expansion stage, using urea and compound fertilizer or farmyard manure for irrigation. The second is the flowering stage, using potassium fertilizer and boron fertilizer for spraying, to promote flowering and protect fruit and increase the fruit-setting rate. The third is after harvest, using piled farmyard manure to prepare for a high yield next year.
3. Prevent fruit drop
Yellow peach has a very obvious characteristic, which is that the fruit-setting rate is high but the fruiting rate is not high, because its fruit drop phenomenon is very serious. So how should fruit drop be prevented and controlled? The first fruit drop occurs when the fruit sets after the flowers fall. The prevention method at this time is to carry out flower and fruit thinning on your own, which can avoid the drop of vigorously growing fruit and ensure fruit quality. The second fruit drop occurs when the yellow peaches are about to mature. We mainly need to pay attention to the management of nutrients and water in the field. Nutrients should not be excessive, especially nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied. Another external factor is that pests and diseases cause fruit drop, so pest and disease control is necessary.
4. Pruning of branches and leaves
Yellow peach has relatively strict requirements for light. If the soil fertility is relatively sufficient and the external environment is relatively stable, then the yellow peach tree will grow very luxuriantly, so that the ventilation and light transmission in the yellow peach orchard are not very good. Then we need to prune away part of the overly luxuriant branches and leaves, retain strong branches, and then cut off all the drooping branches and leaves, as well as branches and leaves infected by diseases, and aging branches and leaves, to ensure sufficient light and achieve a reasonable growth density.
5. Bagging technology
Bagging technology is a relatively new means of protecting fruit now. In fact, bagging does not mean that a bag must be put on the peach to be called bagging. It means that during the growth period of the yellow peach, a newly developed high-fat film is applied to the surface of its fruit, or a protective agent for fog damage is sprayed on the surface of the fruit. This is equivalent to putting a bag around the fruit, which can protect the yellow peach from falling and from invasion by diseases, achieving the effect of increasing yield.
