Key points of apple planting and management techniques

Soil: Plum cultivation requires a loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Illumination: It likes light, you can put it in the ventilation of the breeding. Temperature: about 20 ℃ in summer, spring and autumn, and no less than 5 ℃ in winter. Watering: It likes a slightly humid environment, more drought-tolerant. Summer can be irrigated once a day in the morning and evening, spring and autumn can be irrigated once every 2-3 days, and winter can be watered again when the soil is dry. Fertilization: Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be properly applied.

1. Select Variety

Selecting good varieties is the key to growing apples.At present, the more common apple varieties include Red Fuji, New Red Star, Golden Dwarf, Huaguan, Gala, Shouhong and so on, and if you want to buy varieties with strong cold resistance, you can choose Hanxiang and Hanfu.

2. Soil preparation

Apple planting needs to choose sandy loam soil with good drainage performance and rich nutrition, and mix enough base fertilizer in it, so as to ensure that the soil contains enough nutritional value, so that apple trees can grow better.

3. Planting density

Topography, climate and apple varieties will affect the planting density of apple.Generally speaking, the planting density of apples is 4 * 5 33 plants per mu.If it is a dwarf variety, it can be densely planted, 3 * 3 75 plants per mu.

4. Soil Management

Before and after planting fruit trees, the soil of the planting land needs to be deeply plowed, and some base fertilizer can be applied during deep plowing.In addition, weeds on the surface of the soil layer should be cleaned regularly during the growing period.After the leaves fall every autumn, plough between each row and each tree of the apple tree, about 20 centimeters, and level off after ploughing.

5. Fertilization method

Generally, a large amount of base fertilizer is applied after the harvest of mid-maturing varieties, before the harvest of late-maturing varieties and during the growth period of roots.Fertilization is mainly around the place where the root system is concentrated, and the soil should be excavated to apply fertilizer.But pay attention not to apply too deep, do not let the root system exposed to the outside for too long, otherwise it will make the root system cold, drought serious.

6. Fruit tree pruning

When the fruit tree is still a young tree, the branches that sprout too fast and damage the overall tree shape should be cut off to slow down the growth of the fruit tree.The main branches are reserved, so that the fruit trees can grow and shape as soon as possible.When the fruit tree enters the full fruit period, the number of redundant branches and peripheral branches in the crown should be cut off, and the too dense auxiliary branches should be thinned to ensure good lighting conditions in the crown.
