1, land selection and gardening.

The growth of blood orange has certain requirements for planting conditions such as nutrients and light. Adequate light can reduce the growth cycle of blood oranges, improve photosynthesis of fruit trees and promote the absorption of nutrients. Therefore, the best place to plant blood oranges is in fertile soil, loose and deep, sunny and slightly acidic soil with sufficient light as the orchard planting of blood oranges.

At the same time, the planting of orchards should be established from the terrain is flat, near the water source and the traffic is more convenient, so that it can be convenient to planting irrigation and drainage, and at the same time, conducive to the transportation of fruits, generally in the planting of planting before the need for proper tilling and weeding, loosening of the soil at the same time to plan the orchard planting, in order to facilitate the planting.

2, transplanting finished seedlings.

When transplanting blood oranges, you can buy good blood orange saplings on the market that are more suitable for planting, or you can cultivate blood orange seedlings by sowing seeds on your own. The best time to transplant blood orange seedlings is usually between February and March in the spring or between September and November in the fall.

The planting holes are dug at a suitable density of 80 to 90 centimeters in length, width, and depth, and the holes are filled with a sufficient amount of organic fertilizer as a base fertilizer, and then half of the soil is backfilled before planting.

3, planting management.

General terrain flat orchards can be in accordance with the row spacing in four meters between plants in three meters on the digging of planting holes, so that each acre of land can be planted forty-five to sixty seedlings if the terrain is a little steeper, you can increase the planting density. When planting, the seedling's root system needs to be pruned appropriately.

When placing them in the planting hole, try to make sure that the root system is spread out as much as possible. When filling in the soil, you can gently lift the fruit tree so that the root system of the fruit tree can be stretched. After planting, mulch and water.

4, fertilizer management.

In the process of blood orange planting, the watering of fertilizer is indispensable. For the blood orange fruit tree fertilization, generally mainly to apply organic fertilizer, can be appropriate with inorganic fertilizer. Different fruit tree growth period of fertilizer use is not the same, but fertilization, mainly to apply soil fertilizer, but also with the spraying of foliar fertilizer.

Blood orange young trees when fertilizer to nitrogen-based fertilizer, generally applied before and after the growth of fruit treetops, generally per each plant each time you can apply fertilizer close to a pound of nitrogen fertilizer, can be coupled with a small amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Adult fruit tree fertilization mainly in the fruit tree budding, fruit and expansion period and fruit harvesting should be fertilized.

Fertilizer mainly organic fertilizer. In addition to the fruit picking need to apply a large amount of fertilizer, the rest of the time only need to apply a small amount of compound fertilizer can be, in planting, but also pay attention to the timely watering.

Expanded information:

In the middle and late February, the seeds of Hovenia dulcis, which has developed root system, are chosen to grow live seedlings in a nutrient bowl. In mid-September, choose the robust semi-woody branches of high-yielding blood orange as scion, knife cut two slanting surfaces at the lower 0.6 cm of the axillary buds, the upper part is flush, 4 cm long, and two axillary buds are retained.

Solid seedlings in the distance from the ground 5 cm cut off to stay anvil, cut the rootstock into 2 halves, the incision length of 0.8-1.5 cm, the scion inserted into the rootstock, aligned with the formation of the layer with the drug sticker wrapped grafting place, indoleacetic acid and 6-glycosylaminopurine according to the quality of the ratio of 1:20 mixed diluted 2,000 times sprayed on grafting place.
