What should be noted in jujube tree management?
What should be noted in jujube tree management? Please explain that jujube tree management should avoid the following problems: 1. Focusing only on winter pruning while neglecting summer management. Winter pruning of jujube trees can adjust tree vigor, improve ventilation and light conditions inside the canopy, help concentrate nutrients, and improve the quality of jujube fruit the following year. "Winter pruning grows the tree, summer management sets the fruit." The main measures of summer management are: removing sprouts, pinching tips, bending branches, and thinning out overly dense branches and vigorous upright branches. Some jujube growers do not pay attention to summer management, or do not carry out summer management in time, which leads to a large number of young jujubes dropping, and in severe cases affects the yield of that year.

Jujube tree management should avoid the following problems:
1. Focusing only on winter pruning while neglecting summer management. Winter pruning of jujube trees can adjust tree vigor, improve ventilation and light conditions inside the canopy, help concentrate nutrients, and improve the quality of jujube fruit the following year. "Winter pruning grows the tree, summer management sets the fruit." The main measures of summer management are: removing sprouts, pinching tips, bending branches, and thinning out overly dense branches and vigorous upright branches. Some jujube growers do not pay attention to summer management, or do not carry out summer management in time, which leads to a large number of young jujubes dropping, and in severe cases affects the yield of that year.
2. Focusing only on aboveground management while neglecting belowground management. Some jujube growers do not fertilize their jujube trees for many years in a row, or only apply fertilizer and water symbolically. In this way, although the aboveground management work is orderly, due to the lack of belowground nutrition, the tree body will also become extremely weak, and the quantity of jujube fruit produced will decrease and the quality will become poor.
3. Focusing only on applying chemical fertilizers while neglecting the application of organic fertilizers. Long-term application of chemical fertilizers will lead to soil compaction, an increase in soil pH, a decrease in fruit sugar content, a decline in quality, and the loss of the original flavor. Increasing the application of organic fertilizers can promote soil microbial activity, improve soil structure, increase the utilization rate of nutrients, and lay a good foundation for producing pollution-free fruit.
4. Focusing only on pre-harvest management while neglecting post-harvest management. Before jujube fruit is harvested, jujube growers often manage the jujube trees, but after harvest, most jujube growers give up management of the jujube orchard. This practice is inappropriate. Because after the jujube fruit is harvested, a large amount of nutrients has been consumed, and the tree body is extremely weak. At this time, it is precisely necessary to accumulate nutrients to prepare for a high yield the following year.
5. Focusing only on killing insects and not on preventing diseases. Some jujube growers believe that when spraying jujube trees, it is enough just to control the fruit borers. This idea is inappropriate. Because the main diseases of jujube trees, such as jujube rust and fruit shrinkage disease, are equally serious in their harm to jujube trees, so during management, pest control and disease prevention should be given equal importance as much as possible.
