A veteran apple grower shares his fertiliser experience
In the management of dwarfing apple cultivation, one must follow the growth characteristics of dwarfing apple trees, adopt reasonable technical measures, and artificially create suitable environmental conditions so as to give full play to the advantages of dwarfing apple cultivation. 1. Reasonable close planting: planting dwarfing apple trees must be based on different dwarfing rootstocks and different types of spur-type vari...
Yu Suichang's family in Qinghekou Village, Shewobo Town, Qixia City has always grown eight mu of fruit trees. Because his wife was in poor health and could not work in the fields, and he was reluctant to give up these fruit trees, he resigned from his post as village committee director in light of his family's actual circumstances and began to devote himself to caring for these fruit trees. "I think growing an orchard is good. The work is also seasonal - bag them, spray them, then remove the bags and harvest the apples, and it's done. I feel quite relaxed. My orchard income is also quite good. In a day I can sell eight or nine thousand yuan's worth. Eight mu of orchard brings in over a hundred thousand yuan a year."Yu Suichang said that he resigned as village committee director to grow fruit trees not only because his wife was in poor health, but more importantly because he likes growing fruit trees. Yu Suichang likes growing fruit trees, and when he works he does not feel tired. In order to make these eight mu of fruit trees grow better and earn him more money, Yu Suichang gave up the habit of using compound fertiliser alone many years ago and began using organic fertiliser and inorganic fertiliser together. According to him, when organic matter and compound fertiliser are piled up, the soil becomes loose, and the apples also have a better finish. According to Yu Suichang, in earlier years he bought and used organic fertiliser and inorganic fertiliser separately. In 2012, to save trouble, he directly used Tianxia Wugu biological organic-inorganic compound fertiliser, and the apples were even better than in previous years, with a bright and shiny colour. Apples of 85 and above accounted for more than 90%, and the proportion of first-grade fruit also increased greatly. Now, one tree can bear more than 300 apples, over 200 jin, bringing in four or five hundred yuan.
According to Sun Tengfei of Beijing Tianxia Wugu Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd., Tianxia Wugu biological organic-inorganic compound fertiliser is a "medicinal guide" type of fertiliser. It uses nano-chelating on biological bacteria and medium and trace elements, which makes it easier for fruit trees to absorb and reduces the occurrence of diseases. At the same time, the added organic matter and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can also meet the comprehensive nutritional needs of apples, increasing yield and fruit quality.
