Technology: Pruning and shaping are very important for many fruit trees, and mangosteen is no exception. It is also necessary to cultivate strong fruiting branches during young mangosteen trees. The pruning principle of adult mangosteen is to remove the old and cultivate the new, and to remove the weak and retain the strong. ?

Management:

1. Shadow management. ?

Mangosteen's requirements for light are not particularly high, as long as the light is properly adjusted. When planting mangosteen, everyone needs to build a shade shed. Light is not completely unnecessary, but it is good to gradually increase during the later growth of mangosteen.

2. Fertilizer and water management. ?

Mangosteen's fertilizer and water management methods in previous years are similar. With the growth of mangosteen, the concentration of fertilizer can be increased appropriately. Nitrogen fertilizer is the main growth in the early stage, but it is also necessary to apply fertilizer outside the roots and supplement trace fertilizers.

When the weather is dry, water it in time to keep the soil moist, otherwise, drain it in time in rainy season. Note that when mangosteen enters the fruiting stage, water and fertilizer management will be carried out in stages, which are generally divided into growth period, flowering period, fruit-setting period, strong fruit-setting period and late management.

3. Reasonable colonization.

Note that planting mangosteen is the first step of field management, and reasonable density has an impact on the field operation, yield and quality of mangosteen in the later stage. Under normal circumstances, 22 to 30 mangosteen plants can be planted per mu. The row spacing is generally six meters, and the monthly spacing between plants is about four meters.

Of course, when planting, we can also make reasonable density adjustment according to the fertility of the soil and the topography of the planting area.
