How to manage pomelo in autumn? Key technical points explained

In autumn, pomelo is at the critical stage of autumn shoot growth through turning green and maturing, fruit expansion, and flower bud differentiation. Autumn pomelo management directly affects fruit quality and the yield of the coming year, so pomelo management in autumn cannot be neglected. So how should pomelo be managed in autumn? Follow the editor to learn about it.

1. Reasonable fertilization

To ensure the quality and yield of pomelo, fertilization in autumn should mainly use heavy applications of farmyard manure to barnyard manure rich in phosphorus and potassium, while the application of nitrogen fertilizer should be reduced as much as possible. When the orchard is deficient in phosphorus, phosphorus fertilizer should be appropriately increased; when deficient in potassium, basal fertilizer should be appropriately increased. Fertilization must be scientific and reasonable, and the amount, ratio, and timing of fertilization must all be reasonably matched.

2. Reasonable irrigation

In autumn, when pomelo fruits continue to expand, irrigation can promptly provide water to the plants, allowing the pulp cells to divide and expand normally, which helps increase fruit volume and improve fruit quality. In addition, before pomelo ripens, especially before harvest, water should be appropriately controlled, but water control should not be excessive, because excessive drought will inhibit the normal physiological activities of the plant, causing the fruit to reduce acidity slowly, resulting in greater fruit acidity.

3. Reasonable pruning

In autumn, reasonable pruning should be used to increase the plant's ventilation and light penetration. By thinning overly dense and weak branches, opening the angle of branches and shoots, and changing the direction of branch extension, the plant's light conditions can be changed, allowing the fruit to develop well and improving quality. In addition, flower and fruit thinning can also regulate the fruit load, which can improve fruit size grade and internal quality.

4. Timely harvesting

Only after the pomelo fruit has gone through a specific growth and development process can it show its inherent quality characteristics, so it must not be harvested too early, as this will affect fruit quality and yield. However, it also must not be harvested too late, otherwise storage will be unfavorable, causing fruit quality to decline, so to ensure the pomelo's quality, timely harvesting must be achieved.
