What kind of pear is the Golden Pear? Introduction to high-quality pear varieties

Melons & Fruits 0 views
The Golden Pear was bred by crossing Shin Go with Nijisseiki, introduced to China from South Korea in the 1990s, and is suitable for growing in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Huai River basin. This variety has strong growth vigor and a relatively open tree posture; 1-year-old branches are greenish-brown; the leaves are large and thick, ovate or oblong, with sharp and dense serrations along the leaf margins; the young shoot leaves are yellow-green. The fruit is round and slightly flattened, with yellow-green skin; bagged fruit is golden yellow and appears translucent, with thin skin and large, sparse fruit dots, very attractive; the average single fruit weight is 350 grams; the flesh is fine, tender and crisp, with no or very few stone cells, abundant juice

The Golden Pear was bred by crossing Shin Go with Nijisseiki, introduced to China from South Korea in the 1990s, and is suitable for growing in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Huai River basin. This variety has strong growth vigor and a relatively open tree posture; 1-year-old branches are greenish-brown; the leaves are large and thick, ovate or oblong, with sharp and dense serrations along the leaf margins; the young shoot leaves are yellow-green. The fruit is round and slightly flattened, with yellow-green skin; bagged fruit is golden yellow and appears translucent, with thin skin and large, sparse fruit dots, very attractive; the average single fruit weight is 350 grams; the flesh is fine, tender and crisp, with no or very few stone cells, abundant juice, a unique flavor and aroma. The soluble solids content is 14%, the fruit development period is about 150 days, and it ripens in mid-September. It has strong resistance to pear black spot and pear scab. It has relatively high requirements for fertilizer and water conditions, and more than 2 pollinator varieties should be configured; suitable varieties include Shin Go, Hosui, Nijisseiki, Atago, Green Gem, and others.

1. Fertilizer and water management. The Golden Pear has high requirements for fertilizer and water. For planting, choose a plot with high terrain, good soil structure and fertility. When planting, apply a heavy basal fertilizer: 5000-6000 kg of decomposed pig manure per mu and 100-150 kg of phosphorus-potassium compound fertilizer. Appropriately intercrop green manure and legume crops, and apply additional nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Topdressing should be timed at three stages: before flowering, during the spring shoot rapid growth period, and during the fruit enlargement period. Consider foliar spraying according to growth needs; the drainage and irrigation system should be unobstructed, with timely irrigation and drainage.

2. Flower and fruit management. Pollinator varieties must be properly configured, with 2-3 pollinator varieties per orchard. Pay attention to the flower-to-fruit and leaf-to-fruit ratios; retain 1 fruit per inflorescence, and maintain a leaf-to-fruit ratio of 40:1. Guard against alternate bearing; in the full bearing period, control the yield at about 3000 kg per mu. To improve fruit quality and economic benefits, pay attention to bagging management; promptly bag the fruit with double-layer paper bags after fruit thinning, minimize external stimulation of the fruit, and 10-15 days before harvest, tear open the bottom of the bag to allow ventilation and light penetration to improve the smoothness of the fruit surface.

3. Training and pruning. Use a three-main-branch improved spindle shape or spindle shape. The number of main branches (large fruiting branch groups) per tree is 12-15, and the main branches extend on a single axis. All medium and small fruiting positions are bent to horizontal. During the growing season, remove water sprouts and competing branches, and in summer and autumn promptly adjust the angle of upward-growing branches. Winter pruning is still mainly thinning branches and adjusting angles. Because fruit quality tends to decline after branch groups have borne fruit for 2 years, upward-growing branches should be bent flat and trained into fruiting branches, and attention should be paid to developing reserve branches at appropriate positions to increase and maintain the yield of trees in the full bearing period.

4. Pest and disease control. (1) Do a good job of winter orchard cleanup. Collect fallen leaves and burn or bury them deeply. (2) Before the fruit trees bud, spray 1-2 times with 50-fold lime sulfur solution to kill overwintering eggs. (3) During the growing season, carry out timely pest and disease control, and use pesticides with low residual effects, such as cypermethrin-type insecticides and biological agents including abamectin, Bt, and insect growth regulators such as diflubenzuron No. 3, tebufenozide, and moth-aphid spirit. For control of scab and black spot, use polyoxin, agricultural antibiotic 120, thiophanate-methyl, and others.
