Detailed Guide to Nanguo Pear Cultivation Techniques: Key Planting Points and Management Methods
Nanguo pear is a specialty pear of southern Liaoning, and it enjoys the reputation of the “king of pears.” Its flavor is very delicious, its appearance is glossy, and its flesh is delicate and tasty, so it is loved by many people. Because of its unique fragrance, it has also been rated as one of the four famous pears in China, and its economic value is very high. So how should Nanguo pear be grown? Below, the editor brings you the cultivation techniques for Nanguo pear. Let's take a look!
1. Seedling selection and orchard establishment
Before establishing the orchard, we must first select good pear seedlings. The selection of pear seedlings is very important for the growth and yield of the pear trees. We should choose disease-free and pest-free seedlings with high, stable yield and strong growth. Then choose a plot with deep, loose, fertile soil and a low incidence of pests and diseases for planting. Deep plow and cultivate it, apply fertilizer and disinfect it, and improve soil fertility and safety. When applying base fertilizer, control the amount of fertilizer according to the area of the pear orchard to prevent excessive fertilizer from causing fertilizer damage to the pear seedlings.
2. Timely planting
After the orchard is established, choose a suitable time for planting. First, we should control the planting density and dig the planting holes well, and when planting, appropriately mix fertilizer with straw and spread it into the planting holes, then plant the pear seedlings and backfill the soil. When backfilling, compact the soil, and the roots should be slightly above the ground level. When planting, pay attention to the depth of the planting holes; it should not be too high or too low, as both will have a certain impact on the rooting and growth of the seedlings, and planting management should be done well to ensure the survival rate of the young trees.
3. Management after planting
After planting, we should bag the trunks to prevent pest damage. The main purpose is to protect the growth of the main and side branches of the seedlings and improve the survival rate. When the young trees begin to sprout, remove the bags in time. After planting, ensure the soil remains moist, water thoroughly to settle the roots, and water about once every 5 days or so, though the watering frequency can be appropriately extended as time goes on. After watering, do a good job of earthing up to prevent water loss. When the new shoots grow to about 8 cm, make a soil basin around the trunk to prepare for watering in the middle and later stages.
4. Field management
When growing Nanguo pear, we should regularly cultivate and weed to prevent weeds from competing with Nanguo pear for nutrients and to create a good growing environment for Nanguo pear. Because the growth cycle of Nanguo pear is relatively long, topdressing should be done well during the growing process, and attention should be paid to the nutrient ratio and amount in the fertilizer. Appropriately apply fertilizer outside the roots and spray foliar fertilizer to ensure the healthy growth of Nanguo pear. Then, according to the growth condition of the Nanguo pear trees, carry out appropriate shaping and pruning to improve the tree's ventilation and light penetration, promote the growth of branches in the inner canopy of the fruit tree, and prevent flowering and fruiting from being affected.
The above is a brief introduction to Nanguo pear cultivation techniques. Growing Nanguo pear is relatively simple, but during the growing process we still need to do a good job in field management such as fertilizer and water management and pruning. Only in this way can we ensure the normal growth of Nanguo pear, increase its yield, and enhance fruit quality. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only.
