1, water and fertilizer management
(1) Within 1 month after planting, we mainly do a good job of covering and warming seedlings to promote plant growth and development. During this period, we don't need topdressing, just watering it.
(2) At the root development stage of Chaenomeles, we should cultivate more soil to promote the rapid root development and lay the foundation for the vigorous growth afterwards. In hot summer, we need to water frequently to keep the soil moist enough and increase the air humidity, which is helpful for high yield.
(3) In the late summer and early autumn, the growth of aboveground parts is obviously accelerated, and it has entered a vigorous growth period. We need to attack with fertilizer and water to promote more lateral branches and increase yield.
(4) During the flowering and fruiting period of Chaenomeles, the daily transpiration is huge, which requires sufficient water and fertilizer supply, and nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer can be sprayed on the leaves to assist in increasing the fertilizer supplement.
2, scaffolding
For bergamot, generally from March to mid-May every year, we need to erect columns and scaffolding, and use a pillar every 1.5-2 meters. The scaffolding height should be1.8-2m, which is convenient for subsequent operation and management.
3, pruning leaves
When the fingered citron plant grows to 40 cm, we can pick the core to promote the occurrence of side branches. Anyone who has planted fingered citron knows that fingered citron can have lateral tendrils. We only choose to keep 2-3 robust shoots. When the shoots grow to 1 m, we will pick the top, and leave 2-3 sun shoots on each shoot, and all the other shoots will be erased. We should lead the main vine, the sub vine and the sun vine to the arch pole in time, and gently tie them with plastic ropes. Because the lateral branch meristem of bergamot is very strong, a lateral branch can germinate from the lateral bud at each leaf axil. After the melon vines are put on the shelf, we should stop beating the side branches and adjust the growth direction of the stems and vines in time to make them more evenly distributed. If drooping branches and vines are found, they should be led to the shelf in time to facilitate ventilation and light transmission in the field.
4, pest control
Because there are relatively few pests and diseases of bergamot, we hardly need to apply pesticides during the growth process, but sometimes some pests and diseases will occur. Insect pests are mainly aphids. At the beginning, we can use 50% pirimicarb wettable powder to spray 3000-5000 times. The main disease is Fusarium wilt. At the beginning, 75% chlorothalonil wettable powder can be sprayed with 500-800 times solution.
summary
Because the flowering and fruiting of bergamot are concentrated, which has a great influence on the growth of stems and vines, we should pick it in time to reduce nutrient consumption, which is conducive to the normal growth and development of the following melons, and then increase the yield. Generally, each plant can pick 200-600 melons, and the yield per mu can reach 5000-6000 kilograms.
