1. Land selection and preparation
The choice of planting site mainly determines the survival rate of sapodilla planting. Sapodilla is a fruit that likes light and warmth very much, so this This also determines that the year-round climate of the chosen planting site is relatively stable. Secondly, it is best for the planting site to be sunny, and the land should be relatively flat, without depressions, and then it should be hills and plains with good wind shelter and good drainage. As well as slopes. There are only two requirements for soil preparation. The first is to plow at least about 25 centimeters deep, and the second is to level the soil in a timely manner. The last thing is to apply enough base fertilizer, mainly farm organic fertilizer.
2. Sowing methods
There are many ways to sow sapodilla today, such as seed sowing, grafting, cutting and layering. The most primitive is seed sowing, and it is also used It is a relatively common sowing method. Secondly, grafting sowing is also very popular nowadays. Firstly, it has a high survival rate. Secondly, it has guaranteed quality and yield. Finally, it can shorten the growth period. Therefore, the most common sowing method we use now is a combination of seeds and grafting. We first cultivate the grafted seedlings and sapodilla seedlings, and then wait until everything is ready before grafting.
3. Reasonable and dense planting
We usually plant in April and May every spring, and during planting we need to plant reasonably densely to ensure the yield of sapodilla. and quality. Under normal circumstances, two hundred to three hundred sapodilla trees can be planted in one acre of land. When planting, the spacing between rows should be one meter and a half to two meters, and the distance between plants should be about one to one meter and five meters. This can ensure that the space between the gardens is of permeability.
4. Scientific management
Management mainly includes watering, fertilizing, pruning, weeding, flower and fruit thinning, and garden clearing, among which watering, fertilizing, and weeding are three. It is carried out in combination, that is, it must be done in one step. Fertilization basically only needs to be carried out three times a year. Usually, Bika water-soluble fertilizer is used. Flower thinning is carried out during the peak blooming period, while fruit thinning should be carried out after the flowers have faded, when the fruit is as big as a finger, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the work. The final garden clearing work is also very important, because it can prevent and control some diseases, and at the same time prepare for the next year's output. Finally, it can also extend the service life of the sapodilla tree, so we must be careful and meticulous when clearing the garden.
5. Assisted pollination
In order to improve the success rate of Sapodilla fruit setting, artificial assisted pollination is a vital task. There are two main methods of artificial pollination. The first The first is the artificial spotting method, which is more time-consuming, but has a very high fruiting rate. It mainly involves applying pollen one by one, which is more troublesome. If you plant in a small area, you can still consider it. However, for large-scale planting, it is better to use the second dusting method, which is more efficient and has a good success rate. Finally, the best time for pollination is between ten o'clock in the morning and four o'clock in the afternoon.
