How to Grow Honey Peaches to Increase Yield
Honey peach is a fruit that we all enjoy eating, and it can also be said to be an evolved form of the wild peach. Moreover, the current market demand for honey peaches is somewhat high, but the supply of honey peaches is insufficient. Many people have joined the ranks of honey peach cultivation, and the yield has increased significantly. So today we will study together with QinNong Wang how to increase the yield of honey peaches.
1. Fertilization Methods
Honey peaches need to be fertilized three times a year. In the first year of planting, base fertilizer must first be applied well, generally using a large amount of manure combined with organic fertilizer. When the fruit tree grows to a certain extent and continuously produces new branches and leaves, a second fertilization should be carried out. At this time, urea and compound fertilizer can be used to promote the growth of branches and leaves. Finally, during the flowering and fruiting stage, a large amount of fertilizer is needed, generally using potassium fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer, ammonia fertilizer and urea. This can achieve the effect of promoting flowers and preserving flowers, thereby increasing the fruit-setting rate.
2. Biotechnology
Biotechnology is now increasingly advanced, such as genetically modified soybeans, genetically modified vegetables, and so on. Therefore, we can also use biotechnology to cultivate high-yield honey peach saplings and then plant them. This can not only increase 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. Therefore, we must use the correct cultivation methods. Before planting, fruit tree saplings should be selected, and try to choose saplings that look vibrant and relatively thick and strong, then plant them at a reasonable density. At the same time, after planting, when the fruit trees survive, regular irrigation should be carried out until new roots grow, and then watering can be stopped. Finally, when the fruit trees bloom, chemicals can be sprayed to preserve flowers, and after fruit setting, fruit preservation should be carried out.
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 wastes water and sprays unevenly, possibly causing fruit trees to become diseased or even shortening their lifespan. Therefore, a new type of irrigation method, micro-sprinkler irrigation, has emerged. 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 and ultimately increases 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 choose to plant them in these soils as much as possible. If these are not available, the next best option is to 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 more. These two diseases mainly harm the flowers and fruits, so in order to increase 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 chemicals are also used for prevention. This can increase the lifespan of honey peaches and also play a certain role in increasing yield.
