How to grow longan for high yield? Latest planting techniques explained

Longan is a domestic fruit that is very famous in southern China. Longan is also called guiyuan, and it is widely distributed in China, with extensive cultivation in Guangxi, Fujian, Guangdong and other places in China. Longan is very rich in water, and it contains abundant glucose and protein, among other things. This fruit has attracted many growers to cultivate it, so below Shuashuai will introduce the latest high-yield longan planting techniques to everyone!

I. Seed and site selection

Because there are many longan varieties, we need to make a selection and try to choose longan varieties with excellent cultivation traits, such as Zilu and Zhongqiu. For the above varieties, the planting site should be land with fertile soil, loose soil texture and good permeability. The location should be a hillside with good sunlight and also good ventilation, preferably a hillside close to a water source.

II. Cultivating late shoots

1. For forcing two post-harvest shoots, the first time is in September, and those ripening relatively thoroughly in October to November generally become mature in early January.

2. After applying the shoot-forcing fertilizer, they can be extracted two weeks before fruit harvest. Use peanut fertilizer for the longans set each day; for the second time, combine it with the experience from the first time by picking them first, then apply compound fertilizer.

3. After doing the extra-root fertilization well, mixed agents can be used. Substances such as photosynthetic agents and nucleotides are all for cultivating late shoots. However, when using different drugs in combination, one must consider their usage amount and ratio more carefully.

III. Delaying the flowering period

When it is about to face the flowering season, we can appropriately use chemical methods to help delay its flowering period. In January, when it becomes mature, we can spray it once with a shoot-control and flower-promoting agent, and use one packet of Huaguoling, which can delay the flowering time of female flowers to April, delaying it by a full three months.

IV. Use fertilizer and hormones with caution

When cultivating longan, one must be very cautious about the use of fertilizer and hormones. For fertilization, choose manure fertilizer or the manure of livestock such as cattle and rabbits, and use it for fertilization after fermentation or other treatment. When mixing and making fertilizer, one can selectively add some vitamins, trace elements and growth hormones to it, but for late-maturing cultivation this cannot be used in this way.

The above are the latest high-yield longan planting techniques. Have you all learned them? Here, be sure to note that late-maturing cultivation is very different from ordinary methods, and do not confuse the two, as this has a great impact on its growth and development.
