Cultivation techniques
Grafting methods
Mainly with budding, budding in the set of budding (tubular budding) and T-shaped budding is more common.
Cultivation mode
Batanwood cultivation is mainly garden and intercropping, planted too densely, poor growth, few results. According to the local situation, can choose 3 × 5 (m), 4 × 4 (m), 4 × 5 (m) or 4 × 6 (m) and so on, that is, planted 27 ~ 44 plants / 667 square meters. In arid areas, appropriately dense, in fertile irrigation areas can be planted thinner. Intercropping style general plant spacing of 3 to 4 meters, row spacing ranging from 12.5 to 50 meters.
Configuration of pollinating trees
Batanwood self-flowering is not real, you can every 2 to 3 rows of the main varieties, configure 1 to 2 rows of pollinating varieties.
Plastic pruning
Badanwood planted the year of drying, the second year after the start of shaping, can be used to sparse layer shape or natural open-ended pruning, trunk height of 50 ~ 70cm. sparse layer shape to stay on the main branch 5 ~ 7, divided into 2 ~ 3 layers. The main stem height is 50 to 70cm. 5 to 7 main branches are left in the open-heart shape, divided into 2 to 3 layers. 3 to 4 main branches are left in the open-heart shape, staggered every 10 to 20cm on the main stem, with an azimuthal angle of 90 to 120 degrees between the main branches. In addition to the main stem, other branches as long as the main branch is not too dense can be retained by centering, in order to promote the growth of the main stem thickening. Batan wood pruning is lighter, winter pruning and summer pruning with the best. Pruning is similar to the apricot, young trees to light cut slow release-based, fruiting branch groups appropriate short pruning retraction. The extension branches of the backbone branches at all levels according to the length of the need for short cuts, on the long branches, dead branches, pests and diseases and overcrowded branches to be thinned out. The pruning of the fruiting tree is mainly pruning, appropriate short cutting, pay attention to retain more middle and short fruiting branches, strengthen the fruiting branch group cultivation and renewal.
Fertilizer management
Batan wood is a drought-resistant, barren species, strong adaptability to the soil. Batan wood garden needs fall plowing once a year. Growing season should be timely plowing and loosening of the soil, to keep the soil loose, breathable, weed-free. Generally no irrigation, but excessive drought should be timely irrigation. Attention should be paid to drainage during the rainy season to prevent root rot caused by waterlogged soil. It is good to irrigate anti-freezing water before overwintering. Batan trees apply basal fertilizer once a year in autumn, to the fruit harvest to the soil before freezing is appropriate. Young trees apply 2 to 4t/667 square meters of farmyard manure or 40 to 100kg/667 square meters of composite fertilizer, the results of the tree in the autumn application of basic fertilizer should be increased as appropriate. Batan trees should be fertilized 2 to 4 times during the growing season. Adult trees need 1kg of nitrogen, 0.4kg of phosphorus and 0.4kg of potassium per plant per year. in addition, attention should be paid to supplementing compound fertilizer containing zinc, boron, calcium and other elements.
Disease and pest control
Badan wood diseases are mainly brown rot, bullet hole disease, ulcer disease, leaf scab disease, leaf wilt disease, fruit soft rot, crown rot, and so on. The production of new frontier of badan wood disease is less, only in the seedling common standing blight occurs, adult trees have non-invasive disease occurs, the tree is weak is susceptible to infected branches and trunk rheumatism, in addition there are some viruses harmful to the badan wood. The insect pests of the Batan wood are mainly mites, mealybugs, red spiders, stinkbugs, aphids and so on. Prevention and control of biological control combined with chemical control, the main measure is to choose disease-free robust seedlings.
