What are the fruit tree protected cultivation models?

Protected cultivation methods for fruit trees are currently being carried out, and many regions have adopted protected cultivation methods. Using protected cultivation also has benefits, avoiding some production problems, such as reducing diseases and the like. This brings benefits to fruit tree growth. The specific models can be introduced separately below. Let's take a look together!

1. Early-maturing cultivation

This model generally uses facilities such as solar greenhouses and plastic tunnels to promote fruit tree cultivation, so that growth and development are accelerated, which can speed up the time to fruiting and advance ripening. Peaches or grapes grown this way can be brought to market earlier than those grown in the open field. Solar greenhouses can bring them to market more than a month earlier, and plastic tunnels can bring them to market nearly a month earlier. This allows growers to seize market opportunities first.

2. Rain-shelter cultivation

For example, when grapes are grown in the south, the south has a lot of rain, is humid, and has high summer temperatures, so exposure to rain makes disease especially likely, and basically all the fruit will rot. So people began using supports with a canopy on top for planting, which can prevent the plants from being exposed to rain while also allowing ventilation. This greatly reduces disease, and pesticide use is also reduced, which can be considered protection for grapes.

3. Delayed cultivation

Growing late-maturing varieties in plastic tunnels is mainly to extend the ripening period and delay harvest. This kind of cultivation is aimed at improving fruit quality and maturity. There is also no need to pick the fruit too early, which can stagger the market period, ensure prices, and also ensure the supply of fresh fruit on the market. In fact, the economic benefits of this are also very good.

4. Simple protective cultivation

In production and cultivation, some simple protective facilities are often used to assist cultivation and growth. For example, when sowing in early spring, the temperature is too low, so small arch sheds need to be built for protection. When planting in summer, the temperature is too high and the sunlight is too strong, so temporary shade nets and the like also need to be set up. There are also simple mulches used after sowing, and these are all a kind of protective cultivation.

The above are several models of fruit tree cultivation. At present, these are generally the several models, but in the future there may be more than just these cultivation methods. So if needed, one of these cultivation models can be chosen.
