Eating fragrant pears regularly has a great regulating effect on the human heart, and can also reduce fatigue, lower blood pressure, and relieve cough and phlegm. So how do you grow fragrant pears? Today we will take a look at the planting methods for fragrant pears.
1. Cultivation Conditions
Cultivation conditions refer to the growing environment. The orchard site for fragrant pears should generally be chosen in a place with convenient transportation, and secondly the soil of the planting site should be fertile, close to a water source, convenient for drainage and irrigation, and of sandy loam texture. For planting fragrant pears, we can prepare the land by pit cultivation, which can reduce the workload of planting. Generally, pits are dug at about 50 cm wide, 60 cm long, and 50 cm deep, then sufficient base fertilizer is spread into the pits and covered with fine soil about 3 cm thick, after which you can wait to plant.
2. Seedling Selection
The selection of fragrant pear seedlings is an important basic condition for the survival of fragrant pear planting. We should buy fragrant pear seedlings from a legitimate seedling cultivation base, and secondly we should choose seedlings that are thick and strong, healthy, free from damage by pests and diseases, and with well-developed, undamaged roots. In addition, if the grafting method is used for planting, then it is only necessary to select one- or two-year-old, thick and strong seedlings for grafting.
3. Scientific Planting
After the young seedlings are purchased, they cannot be planted directly. First we need to prune off part of the branches and leaves on the seedlings. Then we need to check the roots of the seedlings, cut off some of the roots that have aged or lost moisture, and apply medicinal solution to the cut positions. Finally, plant one seedling per pit, backfill with soil, and compact the ground.
4. Land Management
Fragrant pear cultivation is a long-term process, so in the first few years after planting we can intercrop other crops. However, during intercropping, it must not be excessive; at most it can last four years, and in the fifth year it must be stopped. Secondly, at least three to four times of cultivating and weeding should be carried out each year. Each time it is best to deep plow about 25 cm, and at the same time at least one hilling should be carried out each year. Finally, note that the orchard should be cleaned and disinfected.
5. Fertilization Methods
Base fertilizer needs to be applied to fragrant pear trees every year, generally in spring and autumn each year. Base fertilizer is the most basic source of nutrients for fruit tree growth, and it can also improve soil structure. Generally, three to four times of topdressing are needed in a year. During the period of germination and branch and leaf growth, nitrogen fertilizer is mainly used, and it is used together with phosphate fertilizer. Secondly, after fragrant pears bloom, we need to apply nitrogen fertilizer and ternary compound fertilizer, which can promote the growth of new branches. Then when the flower buds grow, we need to apply nitrogen fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer. Finally, when the fruit is enlarging, we need to apply phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer.
