1, select excellent varieties.
To grow navel oranges, we must first choose high-quality varieties, such as navel oranges with strong disease resistance, good yield and strong and full leaves. Planting this navel orange can easily improve the yield and quality of navel orange, but farmers need to disinfect the seedlings before planting.
2, soil preparation and planting
Half a month before cuttage and seedling raising, prepare the soil, turn over the soil, and appropriately strengthen the intertillage depth of the soil hardened plot. After soil preparation, apply enough fertilizer, and fully mix the fertilizer with the soil to plant navel oranges.
Dig the planting hole before planting, and be careful not to damage the root system, otherwise it will affect the root system to absorb nutrients and reduce the survival rate. After planting, cover the roots of soil and water.
Step 3 weed between rows
About three weeks after planting, you can regularly observe the growth of seedlings and find that the seedlings are weak and thin. You should pull out the diseased seedlings in time and make up the seedlings. If weeds appear in the field, they will compete for nutrition and water of navel orange seedlings and increase the cost of fertilizer, so weeding should be done in time.
Matters needing attention in navel orange planting:
1, plastic trimming
Navel orange tree is a big tree with strong growth ability and lush foliage. It is necessary to do a good job in shaping and pruning fruit trees. Improve the permeability of the orchard, prevent it from being too closed, affect the fruit in the inner cavity and middle and lower parts of the fruit tree, and reduce the yield.
The specific pruning method depends on the age of the tree. For example, when the tree is young, it should be lightly pruned, and the buds should be removed to promote the growth of branches. Therefore, it is necessary to cut off too long and too dense branches to improve the flowering and pollination rate of fruit trees, increase yield and expand the economic benefits of planting.
Step 2 weed in time
In the process of navel orange planting, the number of weeds in orchard should be observed regularly, and malignant weeds such as bamboo leaf grass and Bidens bipinnata should be removed in time. Because some weeds have very strong nutrient absorption capacity, if they are not pulled out in time, it will not only increase the planting cost, but also affect the growth and development of navel oranges.
And when weeding, we should pay attention to clean up the roots, because weeds grow very tenaciously and will germinate and grow again as long as there is a certain chance. Weeding methods can be chemical weeding or manual weeding. Pay attention to the concentration of herbicide in chemical weeding to prevent navel orange from being inhibited.
