2. What is the difference between apple banana and banana?

3. How is apple banana cultivated?

Apple banana is a type of fenjiao, so its cultivation method is roughly the same. The specific method is as follows.

1. Land selection and orchard establishment

Fenjiao is not suitable for continuous cropping, so when selecting land, the previous crop must not have been fenjiao. The selected plot is generally soft land with good drainage and irrigation, and it must not be too sandy. After selecting the land, plow deeply and prepare the soil. Control the planting area well according to your own conditions or the number of plants, and dig the planting holes and field beds well to make post-planting management easier.

2. Selecting seedlings

For fenjiao seedlings, suckers should not be chosen. The most commonly used seedlings now are tissue-cultured seedlings, and seedlings with about 6 leaves are usually the best choice.

3. Water and fertilizer management

For plots with relatively poor soil, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied, generally farmyard manure or compound fertilizer, and topdressing is also needed. During topdressing, the fertilizer should be spread around the roots. For mature plants, fertilizer should be absorbed and applied by drenching, and the amount of topdressing should be controlled according to the number of plants. As for watering, it is generally done during the budding stage, fruiting stage, and other periods of vigorous growth. When it is too dry, water promptly, but the amount of water should not be too much, to prevent waterlogging from damaging the roots and causing rotten or dropped fruit. In rainy seasons, drainage work should be done well.

4. Orchard management

In the early growth stage, weeds in the orchard should be pulled out promptly. After the plants mature, windbreak posts should be set up in the orchard to improve the wind resistance of apple banana. Also pay attention to the number of fruits on apple banana; generally about 9 is enough.
