1. Varieties are hard to grow, and seedlings are hard to buy
Varieties
Now there are more and more "online celebrity" passion fruits in the market, and the varieties are endless, such as banana passion fruit, red heart passion fruit, green skin passion fruit and Colombian passion fruit.
Although many farmers are interested in planting, due to the influence of climate and geographical factors, they can't bear fruit if they grow well, and most of them try to give up after failing, declaring that planting has failed.
seedlings
Tainong, Zixiang, Huang Jinguo and Mantianxing are the four most common varieties of passion fruit cultivation at present, but it is difficult for farmers who want to cultivate passion fruit to successfully buy high-quality passion fruit seedlings.
most of the passion fruit seedlings sold by many unscrupulous merchants are impure or have viruses, so it is naturally impossible to cultivate high-quality passion fruit, thus undermining the enthusiasm of planting.
2. Immature planting technology and lack of experience
As the saying goes, passion fruit is rough and long, and you can take care of it casually without much thought, but farmers who really have experience in this field know that it is easy to grow passion fruit, but it is difficult to manage passion fruit.
There are very few books on passion fruit planting technology in the market, and video tutorials are even harder to find. Without resources, it depends on teaching practical experience. Therefore, if there is no excellent technology, I really dare not plant passion fruit casually, and most farmers can only flinch.
3. There are many pests and diseases, which are difficult to treat.
There are many pests and diseases of passion fruit, and it is very difficult to treat. For example, the stem rot of passion fruit is equivalent to human cancer, and the treatment cost is extremely high. For example, the green spot disease of the sky is equivalent to the advanced stage of cancer, and the skillful hand cannot rejuvenate.
Coupled with viral diseases, Huang Jinguo's yellowing and other problems, once the disease occurs, it is hopeless, and we can only watch the hard work in vain all the year round. In addition, there are other problems, such as paying more attention to treatment than prevention, not being able to accurately judge pests and diseases, not knowing how to use drugs scientifically, and so on, and it is often too late when it is discovered.
4. Fakes of pesticides and fertilizers are flying around
There are many pests and diseases, and the pesticides and fertilizers used to treat passion fruit are even more fishy in the market. Some unscrupulous agricultural producers sell fakes under various pretexts to cheat innocent farmers' trust, which not only delays the timely treatment of diseases, but also increases the cost burden of medication.
5, natural and man-made disasters, unstable income
Typhoon rainfall, Shouguang incident, watermelon farmers being chopped in the whole garden overnight and other natural and man-made disasters can't be prevented, and the confidence in the first year may be greatly increased, and various problems will appear in the next year, with both gains and losses and large fluctuations in income.
6. The market is hard to find, and the price fluctuates
Although passion fruit is a potential fruit in the market at present, it will also encounter the problem of difficult market. It is understood that the price of passion fruit in Fujian is generally higher than that in Guangxi, and the price is variable and unstable.
7. The cost of planting management is not low
Scaffolding, weeding in orchards, picking fruits and applying fertilizers and spraying drugs all need manual management, and the labor cost will vary according to different regions and work contents, but basically one person is about 15-3 yuan per day, which is not a small expenditure.
8. Insufficient government attention and subsidies
Although the state has strengthened subsidies for agriculture, rural areas and farmers in recent years and set up a farmers' harvest festival to show its attention, the policy is still improving and the actual subsidies are not high.
