Apricot trees have strong barren tolerance and can grow normally in some barren soil, but the yield will drop greatly. Therefore, when planting, we should choose the soil with deep soil layer and strong permeability, which can ensure the growth of almond, enhance its growth ability and increase its yield.

Almonds are very susceptible to late frost, so try to plant them on a flat ground that is sheltered from the wind. It is not advisable to build the garden in the downwind direction, otherwise it will have a certain impact on the growth of almonds.

2, seed selection and planting

When selecting seeds, we should pay attention to selecting varieties suitable for growth according to the local climate and surrounding environment. The planting time of almonds is generally in the spring and autumn of each year, after the leaves fall in autumn. After planting, soil cultivation and heat preservation should be done well. In spring, plant after the soil temperature rises.

Pay attention to the planting density when planting, not too dense, mainly according to soil conditions and geographical conditions, cultivate about 35-50 plants per mu. Before planting, dig the planting pit. When planting, keep the roots flush with the ground, fill the soil while stepping, and then pour enough water after planting to strengthen management.

3. Water and fertilizer management

Almonds generally begin to bear fruit in the fourth year after planting and reach a peak after about six years. When planting, intertillage should be done once a year and combined with topdressing. Keep the garden free of weeds.

Then young trees are applied with base fertilizer once a year, and adult trees are applied once every three years. Control the amount of fertilization according to different tree ages. The older the tree, the more fertilizer it has. After planting, besides watering enough water, water should be watered at least three times a year. However, the amount of water should not be too much. Drainage should be done well in rainy season, and attention should be paid to better freezing water before winter.

4, plastic pruning

Almond branches have strong growth ability, so they need to be reshaped in the same year of planting. Dwarfing the tree body and crown of apricot trees, strengthening the skeleton, and then increasing the opening angle of the crown to enhance permeability can increase the yield.

Trees at different growth stages have different pruning methods. For example, when the new shoots of young fruit trees grow to about 55 cm, we should do a good job of pinching and promoting the shoots, increase the number of fruiting branches, and then sparse the redundant branches. Cut off useless branches that are too long and dense, pests and diseases. To prevent excessive consumption of nutrients and improve permeability.

Extended data:

In China, Xinjiang has a continental climate with a large temperature difference in the morning and evening. Long sunshine and drought. In order to adapt to this environment, plants have accumulated a lot of sugar and oil in their bodies, so the melons and fruits in Xinjiang are particularly sweet. The oil content and sugar content of Xinjiang almonds are higher than those of foreign almonds, and the taste is sweeter. ?

There are many kinds of almonds in Xinjiang, about 40 kinds, which are divided into five families, namely soft-shell sweet almond, sweet almond, thick-shell sweet almond, bitter almond and peach almond.

The excellent varieties of the first two families are: Paper Bataan, Soft Shell Bataan, Thin Shell Bataan, Shuang Ren Bataan, etc. They are called "P Kakazi Badan", "Kakazi Badan" and "Chakebadan" in Uygur language.
