How to plant a pomelo tree properly? An introduction
For scientific pomelo cultivation methods, you can refer to the following methods:
1. Requirements and selection of the orchard site: the soil structure must have good physical properties, with a deep and fertile soil layer, and good drainage, aeration and water retention; the groundwater level should be low, so there is no waterlogging during the rainy season; the humus content of the cultivated soil layer must be high, with a required content of 3-5%.
2. Requirements and selection of fruit seedlings: use fruit seedlings grafted with scions taken from branches of superior mother trees, and they must be strong seedlings with soil around the roots and free of pests and diseases.
3. Planting spacing: No. 1 pomelo is generally planted at 50 trees per mu, with a spacing of 3.3 m x 4 m; No. 2 pomelo is planted at 60 trees per mu, with a spacing of 3.3 m x 3.3 m.
4. Planting time: spring and autumn are suitable, with autumn being the best. In spring, plant from the Start of Spring to around Rain Water; in autumn, plant from mid-September to before the end of October.
5. Hole digging requirements: dig large holes to achieve the effect of improving the soil. The large holes should be 1 m wide and 1 m deep each. After digging the holes, fill them with topsoil, green manure, compost and so on, filling layer by layer with one layer of fertilizer and one layer of soil, and mound them up above the ground.
6. Planting: loosen the upper soil in the hole, apply 15 kg of decomposed compost, 1.2 kg of phosphate fertilizer and 0.6 kg of potash fertilizer, mix them thoroughly and tread them firm, then cover with a layer of fine soil. Dig a small hole in the planting hole, matching the size of the soil ball of the seedling with soil, then place the seedling on it so that it stands upright and the root system spreads out, and mound fine soil around it. If conditions permit, cover the tree disc with green manure or rice straw to maintain temperature and humidity, which is helpful for survival. After 20-30 days, once growth resumes, apply fertilizer once every 10-15 days to promote growth, and pay attention to regular pest and disease control, promptly removing adventitious buds and water sprouts, and cultivating a good tree canopy.
