Detailed Explanation of Key Points of High-Yield Cultivation Techniques for Pomelo Trees
Everyone must have eaten pomelo; it is very sweet, and market demand is not low, with its market price remaining relatively stable. Wild pomelo trees can often be seen in rural areas, but this kind of wild pomelo tree is very sour. The main reason is that no manual good management has been carried out on them. In fact, pomelo trees are very easy to plant; the main thing is to look at the quality and yield of the fruit. So today the editor brings you the high-yield cultivation techniques for pomelo trees.
1. Site Selection and Orchard Establishment
Pomelo trees have relatively strong soil adaptability and have no hard requirements for soil; they can all grow normally. However, if you want to obtain high-quality, high-yield fruit, try as much as possible to establish the orchard on sandy soil that is fertile, deep and loose in texture, and with strong permeability and drainage. When establishing the orchard, reasonably plan the orchard layout, determine the orchard area, reasonably distribute planting density, and set up roads, irrigation and drainage facilities, and a series of other preparations to facilitate later management. Try as much as possible to establish the orchard in a place with convenient transportation, communications, and sufficient water sources, so as to facilitate later transport.
2. Seed Selection and Field Planting
After determining the orchard site, choosing an excellent variety is the key to high-yield planting. Select seedlings that are disease-free and pest-free, with strong growth vigor and robust growth. During transport, pay attention to mechanical damage to the seedlings, which affects seedling quality and growth. After pomelo trees mature, the tree body is relatively large, so when field planting, dig the planting pit large, with depth and width preferably around 80*100 cm. When field planting, apply organic fertilizer together with soil in layers and compact it. After field planting, apply sufficient rooting water, then cover it with grass material to preserve water and soil moisture.
3. Young Tree Management
After field planting, management of young trees is very important. Fertilization of young trees should mainly be frequent applications in small amounts, with at least two applications of quick-acting fertilizer each month. In addition, some vegetable crops can be planted between the fruit tree rows, which can not only loosen the soil, but also be turned into the soil as fertilizer after maturity. Properly prune excessive vegetative branches, and use methods such as bud rubbing and shoot control to improve the permeability in the orchard canopy and promote and strengthen photosynthesis of the fruit trees. Then, according to the growth condition of the fruit trees later, carry out proper girdling on the tree body.
4. Fertilization Management
Fertilization of pomelo trees is mainly based on farmyard manure. Pomelo needs a large amount of nutrients during its growth process, so during planting it is necessary to ensure sufficient nutrients required for the growth of pomelo trees. When pomelo trees bloom and bear fruit, chemical fertilizers cannot be used, especially chlorine-containing fertilizers. For trees bearing fruit for the first time, fertilizer should be applied at least three times. The first time is after harvest, then the second time is when buds sprout in spring of the second year, and the last time is during fruit enlargement. It is mainly based on farmyard manure, and later topdressing work depends on the growth condition of the fruit trees and soil fertility.
The above is a brief introduction to the high-yield cultivation techniques for pomelo trees. The fact that pomelo trees can be seen everywhere in rural areas shows that pomelo trees have particularly strong growth ability. However, if sufficient fertilizer is not applied and tree body watering is not managed well, the quality of the fruit will become very poor. Therefore, in the planting process, if everyone wants to harvest very sweet fruit, they must strengthen orchard management such as fertilizer and water.
