Peach is a very moral fruit in China. At birthday parties, peaches are a must. They represent good luck and longevity. Peach is not only meaningful, but also delicious, so the domestic planting area is relatively large. Now is the peach harvest season, and the growers' faces are full of smiles. This is their happiest moment of the year. They have been busy for half a year, waiting for the harvest. The growers painstakingly picked peaches from trees and quickly transported them to major markets. Then the grower came back and cut off all the peach branches.
When I passed an orchard, I saw that the peaches in the orchard had just been picked, and the growers began to prune the peach branches. Peach trees, which were originally lush, soon became sparse. These farmers are cruel. How can they cut off all the peach branches? Are you angry because you don't make money? In fact, it is not the ruthlessness of farmers. They are pruning peach trees. Only by pruning peach branches can peaches fill the whole peach branches in the coming year and increase their planting income. At this time, the early-maturing peaches have been harvested. At this time, the main work is to raise trees and trim plant types, so as to delay the time of defoliation, let the leaves produce more organic matter, and lay a good foundation for flower bud differentiation and yield.
many people think that peaches will have nothing to do after picking, so there is no management in the later stage. In fact, the picked fruit trees are fragile, and only by taking some preventive measures can they grow normally. Because the fruit consumes a lot of nutrition when growing, it should be pruned after picking, and the diseased branches, residual branches and overgrown branches should be removed, so that the peach trees can get enough nutrition, which is also very beneficial to the peach trees in winter. But when pruning peach trees, there are still many problems to pay attention to. Reasonable pruning can ensure the vigorous vitality of peach trees and keep the fruit yield stable.
Pruning time of peach trees
Pruning time of peach trees is divided into autumn and summer. Summer pruning is carried out after germination, which is the growing season of peach trees. Peach trees grow fast, cuts heal quickly, and it is not easy to leave problems. However, pruning in autumn takes a long time and can be carried out from harvest to winter. At this time, the peach tree is dormant and does not need to provide nutrition for the fruit. All the nutrients can be supplied to trees, so that they can be fully prepared for the fruits of next year. The pruning targets are mainly some aging and diseased branches and some unsuitable branches.
Matters needing attention in pruning peach trees
Before pruning peach trees, you must know about peaches and prune peach trees according to their characteristics, so as to improve the fruiting rate of peach trees. Peach trees like sunshine very much, so choose a sunny environment when planting. Only by ensuring sufficient sunshine can they bear more fruits, but the problem of sunshine should also be considered when pruning. When pruning peach trees, the whole peach tree must be exposed to the sun, and there should be no overlap between peach tree branches, so that all peach tree branches can get enough sunshine as much as possible, so that new branches can germinate better in spring, thus improving peaches and naturally increasing yield.
When peach trees have new branches, they can bear peaches better. The newly grown peach branches have strong vitality and strong peach-bearing ability. Therefore, when pruning, we should cut off the old peach branches, leave new peach branches, and produce many strong flowers. In this way, those old branches will not compete with the new peach branches for nutrients, so that the new peach branches will be stronger and the quality of peaches will be higher. /klTherefore, when pruning, it is necessary to prune according to the situation of each peach tree and adopt appropriate pruning methods so as to produce more peaches in the coming year.
August to the end of September is the time for peach blossom bud differentiation, and autumn pruning is very important. If the light transmittance is poor at this time, it will affect the flower bud differentiation. Therefore, leaves should be pruned at this stage, but there are many problems to pay attention to in the process of pruning. Not all peach trees should be pruned. Weak trees are basically not cut down, because such peach trees have weak growth potential and generally do not have the problem of light deterioration. If you prune it again, it will weaken the peach trees. In addition, if the light-transmitting and breathable peach trees are not affected, < P > Usually, the peach trees that grow vigorously will have a serious impact on the light. Such a peach tree should cut off the big branches and twigs that affect the light and cut off the old branches that bear fruit. But be careful when pruning. Sparse branches and leaves should be kept, and those that are too dense should be trimmed properly. Some peach trees are in the shape of strong on the top and weak on the bottom. It is necessary to thin the umbrella branches and hat branches so that the light in the middle and lower parts is sufficient, and the weak branches can gradually become stronger. If there are too many contradictions between the middle and lower branches, they should also be trimmed. Peach trees don't need too many big branches and main branches. Naturally, there are fewer big branches and more fruits, which affects the development of peach fruit branches. Generally, there are only three or four big branches, so if there are too many branches, they should be pruned.
No matter the trunk or the happy tree, as long as it reaches the height, it can fall, which can destroy the advantage of the top, and then the strength of the middle and lower parts will increase, so that the whole tree will be balanced. If the peach tree itself is balanced up and down and the individual and the group are in harmony, there is no need to prune it. In addition, it should be noted that if the weather is dry and the leaves wither for a long time during pruning, appropriate watering should be combined with autumn pruning to provide a better environment and conditions for flower bud differentiation.
There are many pruning methods for peach trees, such as pruning, pruning and cutting. However, no matter what method is adopted, it is to make peach trees healthier and stronger, but pruning is also an important link in the cultivation process of peach trees. There are also many problems that need attention in pruning, and the wound treatment after pruning should also be paid attention to. If the wound doesn't heal quickly, infection is likely to occur. In severe cases, peach trees will die, causing great losses to growers. Therefore, growers can't ignore the problem of pruning peach trees. They must master pruning techniques and take the above preventive measures, so that their peach trees can have a good harvest in the coming year and improve economic benefits.
