How to grow mangosteen for high yield? A detailed guide to the latest cultivation techniques
Mangosteen is a tropical fruit. Its proper name is mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), and people commonly call it mangosteen. Mangosteen is generally used to make preserved fruit as well as various snacks and treats. There are three types of mangosteen: oil bamboo fruit, flower bamboo fruit and sand bamboo fruit. Although it is a tropical fruit, mangosteen can still be planted artificially, so next let me introduce to you how to grow mangosteen!
I. Planting conditions
1. Soil environment
When planting mangosteen, choose soil with high fertility. The soil's nutrient level must be high. If the land has been rotated with many crops, it may not be as nutrient-rich. Also, the soil layer should be a bit thicker. You can choose wasteland or abandoned fields, but the chosen place must have plenty of water sources nearby. Before planting mangosteen, the land must be weeded, because weeds will compete with mangosteen for nutrients. Then dig the land and apply fertilizer. The fertilizer should be manure.
2. Clearing the rhizomes and loosening the soil
After the mangosteen is planted, the soil must have its rhizomes cleared once every year. The time can be any time from July to August each year. When loosening the soil, also remove the poorly growing and aging bamboo rhizomes. After clearing the rhizomes is completed, apply organic fertilizer to the mangosteen to replenish nutrients in time. Mangosteen bamboo rhizomes sprout once every four years, so fertilizer must be applied in time to make the new bamboo rhizomes grow faster and better. In the second year, 600 mother bamboos can be kept per mu.
3. Planting techniques
After keeping the mother bamboos, always pay attention to the fertilizer and water conditions. Mangosteen likes a hot and humid growing environment. Once the land dries out, water it in time. Be sure to control the amount of watering and do not let water accumulate. Once mangosteen shows female yellow disease, spray it with medicine immediately, otherwise this disease will be very unfavorable to its future growth.
II. Points to note
Because mangosteen, like ordinary fruit trees, is perennial, it takes several years after planting once before there is profit and income. The land must be chosen well from the very beginning, because after transplanting it is very difficult to change. When choosing the land, be sure to confirm the climate conditions of its location and other factors, so as to avoid problems later that are hard to solve.
The above are the latest high-yield mangosteen cultivation techniques. The process of growing mangosteen is long, and the profit cycle is very long. It takes several years to see returns, so friends who want to plant it must think it through. To learn more related information, please continue to follow Qinnong Web!
