Detailed Explanation of Peach Tree Shoot Control and Flower Promotion Methods and Technical Points

Many flower farmers who grow peach blossoms call to ask how to stop the growth of peach blossoms and form more flower buds? The main reason affecting flower bud differentiation is the contradiction between reproductive growth and vegetative growth. When vegetative growth is too vigorous, it will seriously affect reproductive growth, that is, flower bud differentiation. For this reason, during the flower bud differentiation period (late May to before leaf fall), attention must be paid to the balance between the two in order to ensure normal flower bud differentiation.

1. From late May to June, pinch off the tips at the 10-12 leaf position of the autumn shoots to promote flower bud differentiation and promote branching, or spray shoot-control agent.

2. From late August to September, during the autumn shoot growth period, spray shoot-control agent once (add 40 jin of water per packet) to ease the intensity of vegetative growth; from late September to early October, spray shoot-control agent once more (add 20-30 jin of water per packet), the purpose being to make the branches and shoots stop growing before mid-October. For trees that are still growing, spray shoot-control agent quickly.

3. Starting from mid-to-late September, begin fertilizer and water control to control branch and shoot growth.

4. If yellow leaves or leaf fall appear too early, spray agricultural nucleotide + 0.2% nitrogen fertilizer.

5. After the branches and shoots stop growing, in order to achieve better flower bud differentiation, spray 1-2 times of flower-strengthening, fruit-preserving and crack-preventing agent or agricultural nucleotide + 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate.
