The planting methods and techniques of raspberries should pay attention to soil, temperature, light and moisture.
1. Soil
Generally speaking, the soil environment with pH of ph5. to ph7. can be used, but it must have good air permeability and high content of organic matter, so that the raspberry planted will taste more sweet.
2. Temperature
Raspberry planting does not require too high temperature, and the suitable temperature is relatively wide. It can be planted in places where the average annual temperature is 15-2℃.
3. Illumination
Raspberry is a sunny fruit. Generally, most native raspberries grow on sunny hillsides. Adequate illumination is more conducive to the growth of raspberries.
4. Moisture
There is no strict water requirement for raspberry planting. If you pay attention to yield, you can add some artificial irrigation.
management of raspberry planting
1. Fertilization management
Organic fertilizer is the most commonly used in raspberry planting. Humus, animal manure and oil cake are all organic fertilizers that supplement the growth of raspberries. Compound fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be applied in seedling stage, which will make seedlings more robust.
2. Water management
Because the roots of raspberries are not well developed, the water in the deep soil is not easy for raspberries to absorb. Therefore, in order to maintain the water-holding capacity of the soil where raspberries grow, it is necessary to irrigate it artificially in the dry season to ensure the water demand of raspberries.
3. Branch management
The main purpose of raspberry pruning is to increase the sunlight between branches and increase fruit setting. Remove excessive primary stems and flower diameters, and enhance the nutrient supply among each branch population.
4. Weed management
Generally, raspberry weeding can be done twice or three times a year in the intertillage period, and herbicides can be supplemented to ensure weed elimination.
