Fruit has high medicinal and edible value, which can not only be eaten directly, but also be processed into dried bayberry.
So what planting techniques do farmers need to master to make bayberry yield high? Let's take a look at it next!
Planting techniques of Myrica rubra
I. Land selection and preparation
Because Yangmei likes wet and shady habits, its trees are relatively large and its roots are widely distributed. The garden should be selected in acidic soil with a slope of less than 45 degrees below 800 meters above sea level and thick humus. In addition to the ventilated environment, Myrica rubra should also pay attention to convenient transportation, low light intensity, deep and fertile soil layer, high heat, high accumulated temperature in winter and spring, and less precipitation in summer and autumn.
The arrangement of Myrica rubra needs to be completed before planting in 1 1 month or next March. Where the slope is small and gentle, the land should be turned into a ladder-spit mode around the mountain. If the slope is too large, more complicated gardens will become narrow-band digging. Generally, Myrica rubra takes about five years to bear fruit, which is relatively long.
Second, colonization.
The best time to plant Myrica rubra is from late February to mid-March, when the temperature begins to warm up slowly. Myrica rubra is best planted in rainy or cloudy days, because the survival rate is high at this time. When planting, pay attention to the distribution of early-maturing and late-maturing varieties, mix them reasonably, and choose the grafted seedlings of Myrica rubra with strong roots, no pests and diseases and good growth. Dig a pit, put 10-20g burnt marl and 20-30g decomposed livestock manure, pick them lightly, and then cover the soil in time, otherwise Myrica rubra will be divided into female trees and male trees, and some male trees need to be planted in it for pollination.
Third, fertilization.
The orchard selected by Myrica rubra can be interplanted with lettuce for one year to improve soil fertility. Young Myrica rubra trees are mainly applied with phosphorus fertilizer, potassium fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer, generally 2-3 times a year. When they are mature trees, they need topdressing twice a year. The first time was in the budding spring, applying 2-4 kg of farmyard manure. Cover the soil after fertilization, and choose the second time after fruit picking.
Because the fleshy roots of Myrica rubra are fragile and easy to be damaged, you should handle them carefully every time you need to dig ditches and holes to avoid hurting the roots. You can also spray foliar fertilizer 1-2 times during the vigorous fruit development period. Remember to improve the soil and eliminate stagnant water to ensure the high yield and quality of bayberry.
Fourth, pruning
Myrica rubra trees are generally round in shape. Pruning when young trees is mainly to finalize the design, so as to cultivate early harvested trees. The crown of the three main branches should generally leave 3-4 new branches of Myrica rubra with good growth and uniform distribution, with a spacing of 20-30 cm as the main branch, and 2-3 lateral branches should be selected on the main branch, which should also be evenly distributed and well-defined. The crown skeleton of Myrica rubra can be formed within 3-5 years. Generally, the pruning of Myrica rubra is mainly to adjust its growth and population structure, and also to promote high yield and high quality. Pruning is generally called summer pruning and winter pruning.
Generally, from February to mid-March, the big bayberry tree with many flower buds will cut the fruiting branches short and apply chemical fertilizer to promote the growth of vegetative branches. Fruit thinning should also be carried out after the flowers wither for 20 days, and it should be carried out appropriately according to the number of fruit trees. Generally, the top of the tree will be sparse and less reserved, and the lower part will be sparse and more reserved. Generally, it will be carried out two or three times, and it can also be carried out appropriately according to the growth of fruit trees.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) harvest
Because the fruits of Myrica rubra will not all ripen together, they need to be harvested in batches. When the whole tree reaches 20% maturity, they can be ready to pick it. Generally, it is harvested once a day or every other day, once in the morning and once in the evening. It is best not to pick it in rainy days or after rain. Myrica rubra is very easy to go bad because it has no peel protection. Put it down gently, put it in a basket after picking, and don't squeeze them.
To sum up, farmers need to master certain planting skills and carry out scientific management if they want to make Myrica rubra yield high. I believe you will get rich economic benefits, and I hope this article can help everyone.
