Bergamot is not strict with soil quality, and sandy loam with loose, fertile, breathable and good water permeability is the best, followed by yellow and red sandy soil. After the new shoots of seedlings turn green, they can be planted in all seasons, and the best planting period is1-May and August-September.
2. Planting
After one year's cultivation of cuttings or grafted seedlings, when the seedlings are as high as 50 cm, they can be planted in spring and autumn, and it is better when the temperature starts to warm up in February and new buds are about to sprout. Plant according to the row spacing of 40-50 cm and the plant spacing of 30-40 cm, and water the root, and then water it every 7- 15 days.
3. Water and fertilizer
Bergamot is a shallow-rooted plant, and its absorption of water and nutrients is relatively weak, so when fertilizing and watering, we should pay attention to increasing the number of fertilizing and watering, and the amount of fertilizer and water is appropriate each time. It is necessary to topdressing Bika granular compound fertilizer when entering the full fruit stage.
Step 4: Trim
When pruning, we should pay special attention to the fact that if the newly planted bergamot blooms, then we need to erase the flowers, otherwise it will affect the growth and development of the plant. Secondly, it is different from other plants in pruning. It needs pruning all year round, because its branches and leaves grow very fast. If it is not pruned reasonably, it will easily lead to the accelerated aging of the whole plant and seriously affect the yield.
5. Weeding
Flowers began to bloom around the time of the sting (March 6), and 2-3 robust female flowers were selected for a sequence of flowers, and the rest were picked. In terms of fruit preservation technology, it is generally required that one branch should keep 1-2 fruits, and more fruits should be removed. When entering the fruiting stage, pull out the weeds around the plants by hand, and don't use a hoe to avoid damaging the roots. Five years after fingered citron planting, soil should be cultivated 1 time every year, after pruning and clearing the garden, and a thin layer of grass should be covered on the tree tray after soil cultivation.
The fruit of bergamot began to ripen from the end of August. When the peel changed from green to light yellow-green, it was harvested in sunny days until it was harvested in winter.
