Zhonghua Shoutao is a rare and high-quality late-maturing variety found in China at present, belonging to the northern variety group. It has the following remarkable characteristics: 1. It is extremely late-maturing, and the suitable period for fruit harvesting is in the middle and late October (around first frost). Two. The fruit is big, well colored and beautiful. The average weight is 300-350g, the maximum single fruit weight is1100g, and the color is gorgeous. Under the condition of scattered light, the coloring can still reach more than 70%, and the fruit is pink or thick red. Three. Excellent quality, crisp and tender pulp, high sugar content and good taste. The allowable solid content of fruit is 18-22%, which has high commodity value. Four. Fruits are abundant. In the year of planting, plants can form a large number of abundant flower buds, bearing fruit every year (300-400 kg per mu), and entering the first fruiting period in three years (per mu 1200- 1500 kg). Five. Strong resistance, Zhonghua Shoutao is extremely cold-resistant, drought-resistant, thin-ridged and disease-resistant. This variety is self-pollinated, with strong ability, no need for pollination trees, and the natural fruit setting rate is as high as 50.8%. This variety also has the characteristics of closed pollination. Six. Chinese longevity peach is extremely resistant to storage and transportation. Sticking to the core, the pulp is insoluble and hard, and it is resistant to collision and pressure during long-distance transportation. Like other peaches, Zhonghua Shoutao peach has the following shortcomings: it is not tolerant to waterlogging, and the peach garden keeps waterlogging for more than 36-48 hours, and the leaves of the tree turn yellow, which seriously leads to the death of the whole plant. High-quality and high-yield cultivation techniques of Zhonghua Shoutao?

1 The most suitable site conditions for planting peach trees in the garden are sandy loam with loose and fertile soil, smooth drainage and watering conditions. The waterlogged, waterlogged, too sticky and saline-alkali soil is not suitable for cultivation. The results of trial planting show that this variety is most suitable for planting in hilly land, followed by flat land. Hilly slopes in hilly land, especially sunny slopes, have good ecological conditions, sufficient sunlight, less pests and diseases, and can be pollinated by insects. Choosing a plot with deep and fertile soil and watering conditions to build a garden can give full play to the advantages of this variety and obtain excellent fruits with bright color, smooth fruit surface, large fruit, crisp and sweet meat and rich flavor. This variety has short internodes, easy flowering, early and high yield. The average internodes length is 1.88CM, which is shorter than that of common peach varieties 15%-20%. When cultivated, the plant spacing can be selected as 2. 5X3。 5. 3X4 can also be selected, and the number of plants planted per mu is 56-11/plant. Building a garden on the flat land generally has a deep and fertile soil layer, which is convenient for irrigation and drainage. The underground water level of the flat peach garden is required to be below 1 m. If the underground water level is higher than 1 m, it is necessary to make a terrace or repair the drainage project first to prevent the peach trees from flooding in rainy season. Peach can be cultivated in slightly acidic, neutral and slightly salty alkaline soil. However, in the soil with excessive alkalinity, the soil should be improved first, and at the same time, organic fertilizer should be applied, generally 5000 kg per mu; Too sticky soil can be filled with 1/3 sand and clay organic fertilizer, fully mixed and backfilled into planting ditches or holes, and then watered and settled for later use.

2. Selection of seedlings It is a prerequisite to obtain early fruiting, high yield and high quality. High-quality seedlings should grow sturdily, with developed roots, many fine roots, stout stems, seedling height of 80- 120CM, and 5-7 full buds in the plastic band; No pests and diseases (
