Olive interplanting crop
The young olive orchard can interplant soybeans, make full use of land resources, improve economic and ecological benefits and realize ecological economy.
What is the high yield of olive interplanting?
Olive trees are tall, wide in rows and deep in roots. In order to make full use of the land, oil crops, taro, miscellaneous grains and vegetables, mung beans and other crops can be interplanted, which can not only increase income, but also reduce weeds and prevent soil erosion.
What is the best benefit of olive interplanting?
The interplanting effect of olive and leguminous cassia seed is the best, which can quickly cover young orchards, reduce soil erosion and local soil water content in the early stage of garden construction, improve the growth environment of fruit trees, increase orchard yield and increase orchard benefits.
Technical method of olive interplanting
Digging and planting: dig square planting pits with length, width and depth of 1m between two olive trees, and apply organic fertilizer 100kg, calcium superphosphate 1.5kg and lime 1.5kg to each pit, and return the topsoil to the pit. Planting in autumn is conducive to early rooting, promoting germination and rapid fruit-bearing.
Pruning: Olive trees should bear fruit early and have high yield. Young trees should be pruned short in summer to slow down their growth and form short, medium and bouquetlike fruit branches in order to achieve the goal of early fruiting. In winter, pruning is mainly to cut the branches that extend inward, the branches that are too prosperous, the diseased branches and the dead branches.
Matters needing attention in olive interplanting
Intercropping soybean between rows of olives requires field operations such as ploughing, intertillage weeding and spraying fertilizer, which plays a dual role of one fertilizer and one medicine and improves the production environment of young olive forests.
