Detailed Explanation of Key Points for Golden Passion Fruit Planting and Management, Fruit Growers Should Save This
Golden passion fruit is one of the higher-quality varieties of passion fruit, with a relatively higher selling price, but the market response is quite good. The number of people growing golden passion fruit in China is also relatively large. There are several key points in growing passion fruit that are closely related to its yield. Below, the editor will briefly introduce these key points for growing golden passion fruit.
1. Trellis Construction
The yield of golden passion fruit is very high, but it is a vine-type plant, so the trellis indirectly determines its yield. A broad and reasonable trellis is what allows its fruit to grow better. When building the trellis, two points must be considered: first, sturdiness, and second, breadth, so that after the fruit fully develops in the later stage, the seedlings can bear the weight. The top of the trellis should be distributed in a net-like pattern, and the mesh holes should not be too large, controlled at around 30*30 cm. Each connection point must be firmly fixed, so that it will not easily shake when touched.
2. Fertilization Management
Normal golden passion fruit seedlings have an extremely high demand, so nutrients must keep up, and fertilization is the top priority. The types of fertilizer should not be too single. In the early stage, try to use organic farmyard manure. After the seedlings take shape, use it mixed with organic fertilizer, and the quality of the seedlings will be relatively better this way. The timing of fertilization must be carefully controlled. In the early stage, once a month is enough. After fruiting in the later stage, the frequency must be increased to about 2 times a month to ensure sufficient fertilizer.
3. Pest and Disease Prevention
When managing golden passion fruit, pest and disease prevention should also be taken seriously. Common diseases include stem rot and brown rot, and common pests are mainly aphids and thrips. In addition to diseases caused by viruses, those caused by water accumulation are also relatively common, so drainage channels for golden passion fruit must be fully prepared. Pest damage is mostly caused by insects invading from the wild, so it can only be addressed by observing more in daily care. Carbendazim and similar products are more suitable for disease prevention, while trichlorfon and similar products are suitable for pest prevention.
4. Branch and Leaf Clearing
Excessive lush branches and leaves do not mean that golden passion fruit is developing well; this will cause serious nutrient deficiency in its fruit, so clearing branches and leaves during the fruiting period is very necessary. The branches and leaves to be cleared should mainly be those in areas with fewer fruits, especially where the leaves above the fruit are dense, proper clearing is even more necessary, so that golden passion fruit can better receive sunlight and maintain ventilation.
When planting golden passion fruit, field management is highly valued, so growers are advised to patrol more often to facilitate timely discovery of problems. For more related information, you can come and consult us.
