Now more and more people grow mangoes to make money. What should I do if there is a wound in mango pruning? What are the pruning techniques of mango? The following small series will tell you!
First, how to deal with mango pruning wounds?
For the wound caused by pruning, apply oily soft solid anticorrosive film to protect it, prevent the infection of pests and diseases and the crack of the wound, and promote the rapid growth and healing of callus.
Second, mango pruning technology
1, young tree pruning
The pruning direction of young mango trees is mainly fixed stem shaping. When fixing the stem, the height should be controlled according to the planting variety, tree size and soil conditions, and generally kept at about 45-55 cm.
Then, four new shoots with different growth directions, uniform distribution and vigorous growth were selected as the main branches of the new shoots in extension or maturity.
When the main branch is about 45 cm long, it should be cut short in time to promote the branch again. Choose 3-4 robust branchlets as secondary main branches, and break the nails in time when the secondary main branches are about 55 cm long to promote the growth of side branches.
2. Prune the first fruit tree
Pruning the first-bearing trees should focus on promoting the amount of flowers and fruits and expanding the crown. Under the premise of ensuring that the crown bears as many fruits as possible, it is necessary to ensure that the fruit trees grow well in order to gradually increase the yield.
At this stage, it is necessary to cut off the branches that are too long, too dense, out of place and overlapping, and then cut off the branches that are too long to prevent the original trees from being damaged.
After harvesting, the fruit stalks should be cut off in time, and then the fruiting branches in the middle and lower parts of the crown should be shortened appropriately.
For some overgrown trees with low fruiting rate, the overgrown branches should be shortened, and then each shortened branch should not exceed 3 new shoots, and the redundant branches should be removed in time.
3, harvesting and pruning
Pruning should also be done in time after harvest. The main pruning targets are some weak branches that are too dense, pests and diseases, old dead branches and so on.
Cut it lightly every year and cut it again in the third year. It is usually necessary to cut off the main branches of the crown and keep the branches that grow within two years, because such branches have a higher seed setting rate.
When the new round of fruiting mother branches grow, the number of branches on each branch should not exceed 3, and the redundant branches should be removed.
Cut off the cross-growing branches in the inner room and erase unnecessary tillers.
4. Pruning in growing season
During the growth period, attention should be paid to ensuring sufficient nutrition to promote the growth of flowers and fruits, preventing branches from robbing flowers and fruits of nutrients too much, improving the permeability of fruit trees and ensuring comprehensive and even spraying.
After flowering, the redundant new shoots should be cut off, and then the branches such as inner cavity branches, pest branches and so on should be thinned to prevent excessive consumption of nutrients.
Keep sunny branches to enhance the photosynthetic capacity of mango, and then cut off drooping branches and branches that can't absorb light.
Then remove the leaves that will hurt the fruit and affect the light absorption of the fruit branches to prevent the fruit from expanding.
Well, that's all that Bian Xiao wants to share with you today. If you also grow mangoes, you can protect them by coating oily soft solid calluses with antiseptic film.
