What are the precautions for growing pineapple? Read this article to understand

Pineapple is a well-known tropical fruit, known as one of the four famous fruits of Lingnan. At present, the main pineapple growing areas in China are Taiwan, China, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Hainan, and other regions with warm climates all year round. There are more and more pineapples on the market, but they have always been very popular. So today the editor will mainly introduce to you: some precautions to note during the pineapple growing process. Let's take a look.

1. Soil

Pineapple can be grown in general soil. When choosing a pineapple growing site, we do not need to consider too much. But we should note that poor, heavy clay, poorly drained, poorly aerated soil and soil with a not-low groundwater level cannot be used to grow pineapple. Finally, the main point is that the soil is best slightly acidic and must not be alkaline.

2. Temperature

Pineapple is a typical representative among tropical fruits, so its temperature requirements are relatively high, which is why many regions cannot grow pineapple because the temperature does not meet the conditions. In general, the annual average temperature of a pineapple growing site should be between 24 and 27 degrees. Next, the most suitable temperature for pineapple growth is between 25 and 35 degrees. It can grow in an environment with a temperature of 15 to 40 degrees, but the lowest temperature must not be lower than 10 degrees. A temperature below 15 degrees will affect the growth rate, and at the same time the highest temperature must not be higher than 43 degrees.

3. Water

Pineapple has strong drought resistance, but this does not mean that its growth does not need water, so its water requirements during growth are relatively strict. The most suitable water for pineapple growth, that is, annual rainfall, is between 1,000 and 1,500. When there is a lack of water, we need to water appropriately, and at this time the leaves of the plant will appear red-yellow. Finally, too much rainfall will cause the plant roots to rot and seriously affect pineapple yield, so what we need to note is timely drainage. At the same time, when watering, pay attention to the amount of water and by no means use too much water.

4. Fertilization

Fertilization is key to pineapple growth. Many people use the wrong fertilizer when fertilizing pineapple, or the amount is wrong, or the timing is wrong. Generally, the first topdressing is carried out after the first loosening of the soil, mainly with organic fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, with 80 to 100 grams per plant. Next is timely ternary compound fertilizer, usually about 40 to 50 grams. At the same time, note that after the first topdressing, fertilizer needs to be applied once about every half a month, mainly nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, with about 40 to 50 grams per plant. Finally, note that about every 10 to 14 days, spray foliar fertilizer once, and spraying three times in total is enough.

5. Bud removal

Bud removal promotes the enlargement of pineapple fruit and improves pineapple quality. After pineapple bolts, some crown buds, hapaxanthic buds, suckers, slips and other buds will grow on the pineapple plant. They will absorb a large amount of nutrients and water from the plant. We should remove some appropriately, but not all of them. Remove the excess buds and keep some buds suitable for fruiting next year. This helps concentrate nutrient supply, thereby promoting fruit growth and enlargement.

When growing pineapple, we first need to understand the growth habits of pineapple, and then grow it scientifically according to its growth habits and cultivation techniques. The above is all the content the editor has brought to you today about precautions for growing pineapple. We hope everyone can benefit from it.
