Key Points of Peach Cultivation Technology and Planting Management Methods
Peaches contain various vitamins and other nutrients needed by the human body, with a relatively large fruit shape, a fresh fragrance, a sweet taste, and plenty of juice. Because peaches are much better than other peach varieties, they are grown in many places, but the most famous among them is the Fenghua peach. So today let us follow the editor to learn about peach cultivation technology and see how to grow high-yield, high-quality peaches.
1. Site Selection and Preparation
Peaches prefer warmth and moisture, but they have strong adaptability to the environment; however, if the growing environment is poor, the quality of the peaches grown will also be poor. For the peach orchard site, we generally choose sandy loam soil with good drainage, deep soil layers, loose texture, and a slightly acidic nature. Before planting, the site must be improved by deep plowing the soil and applying sufficient farmyard manure to increase soil fertility. Then dig planting holes at a row spacing of 4 m and a plant spacing of 3 m, apply sufficient decomposed farmyard manure and phosphate fertilizer into the planting holes, then sprinkle a thin layer of soil and wait to plant.
2. Seedling Selection and Planting
For peach seedlings, we should choose according to local climate, soil, market, and other conditions. It is best to choose seedlings with high yield, excellent quality, and high sales, and to reasonably allocate the peach ripening periods, matching early, middle, and late varieties properly. Finally, properly prune the branches, leaves, and roots of the selected peach saplings, then place them into the planting holes, let the roots spread out fully, straighten the saplings, backfill with soil, firm the ground with your feet, and water once.
3. Fertilizer and Water Management
Fertilizer and water management in peach cultivation is very important. In addition to the base fertilizer, we also need to apply topdressing multiple times, mainly according to the specific conditions such as the age of the peach tree, different growth stages, cultivation management methods, and external conditions. During topdressing, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are mainly used, especially during the flowering and fruiting periods of peaches, when water must also be reasonably controlled to maintain a balanced water supply. In addition, we also need to carry out root fertilization and foliar fertilizer spraying to prevent tree decline.
4. Pruning and Shaping
During the growth of peaches, in order to improve peach yield and quality, proper pruning of branches and leaves and tree shaping are necessary. Peaches like light, so for full sunlight, branches that are too dense, excessively vigorous, non-fruiting, disorderly growing, or affected by pests and diseases must be pruned to maintain a complete natural open-center tree shape. When pruning, we should note that it is divided into pruning of young trees, pruning of fruiting trees, and pruning of aging trees. For specific pruning methods, please consult.
5. Pest and Disease Control
If field management work is not done properly, there will still be quite a few pests and diseases during the growth of peaches. In general, the main ones include anthracnose, gummosis, scab, leaf curl, aphids, fruit borers, and peach fruit moths. We need to carry out control according to the specific incidence of disease.
