Introduction to Suitable Regions, Temperatures and Precautions for Fragrant Pear Cultivation
The fragrant pear is a variety of pear with thin skin, abundant juice and a crisp texture, which has made it a very popular fruit on the market. At present, fragrant pear cultivation has not been widely popularized, and it is mainly distributed in the ** region of China. Today we are going to learn about several issues that need attention during fragrant pear cultivation. Follow along with the editor below to read the exciting content in the following text.
The best cultivation areas are the upper and middle reaches of the Peacock River in Korla, Yuli, and the Yarkant River and Kashgar River deltas in Bachu, Kashgar, Maigaiti and other areas. In these areas, the fragrant pear growing season is rich in light and heat resources, with accumulated temperatures of 2310-2870°C during the period of ≥20°C and sunshine hours of 940-1100 hours. The time when light and heat resources are most abundant coincides with the period when fragrant pear fruits grow relatively quickly, giving a good match.
1. Growth habits
Before planting fragrant pears, the first thing we need to do is understand the growth habits of fragrant pears, so that we can better devote ourselves to planting and production. Fragrant pears have the characteristics of liking sunlight, liking warmth, being slightly tolerant of high temperatures and slightly tolerant of cold. Next, we can analyze this from the climate zone of its planting area **. It has a relatively large demand for light, and at the same time has relatively strict requirements for the temperature difference between day and night. So if we want to trial-plant it in other places, we still need to meet these necessary growing conditions as much as possible. Only then can the trial planting succeed; otherwise the probability of failure is very high.
2. Seedling selection
The selection of seedlings is also a very important point for fragrant pear cultivation. Many growers do not pay attention to seedling selection, and this is one of the reasons why many growers end up failing. First, we should choose from regular seedling cultivation bases, and second, after comparing prices, choose the better ones. When selecting seedlings, it is best to choose seedlings with relatively thick stems, no pests or diseases, no mechanical damage, well-developed root systems, sufficient moisture and no rot. Of course, this is only the selection method for seedlings grown from seed. If grafting is used, then it is even simpler: we only need to choose robust, high-quality seedlings that are one year old or two years old.
3. Land management
Land management is a basic condition for cultivating fragrant pears. After we choose a reasonable planting site, managing the soil is also very necessary. Scientific land management can promote the growth of fragrant pear seedlings, reduce damage from pests and diseases, and also increase the yield and quality of fragrant pears. Generally, the soil at the planting site should have good drainage, so sandy loam is most suitable. Next, the soil should contain sufficient nutrients, and it is best if it is close to a water source. When preparing the land, we can use full reclamation or half reclamation, but the effect of full reclamation is better. At the same time, we need to apply an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer to the soil to improve the soil quality. Finally, in ordinary times we also need to carry out proper orchard cleaning and disinfection.
4. Planting management
Planting management is a point that requires special attention in the process of fragrant pear cultivation, and the aspects it includes are quite broad. First, we should pay attention to water and fertilizer management, and manage scientifically according to the different water and fertilizer needs at different growth stages. We must not apply too much nitrogen fertilizer, nor apply fertilizer arbitrarily, and at the same time we should pay attention to watering after each topdressing. Second, we should prune branches and leaves reasonably, and after pruning, apply a layer of medicinal solution to the pruning cuts, which is beneficial to its growth. Also, we should pay attention to flower thinning and fruit thinning, which is also an effective way to improve the yield and quality of fragrant pears.
The above is the editor's summary of several issues that need attention in the process of managing fragrant pear cultivation. In fact, if we were to break it down further, we could also analyze it in detail from various aspects such as its planting time, planting methods, soil selection, temperature management, light and moisture, topdressing, pruning, and pest and disease prevention. If everyone is interested, you can pay more attention to knowledge about agricultural cultivation in ordinary times.
