Mangosteen is very popular in China fruit market in recent years. Even if the price is expensive, many consumers are willing to buy it. In addition, the taste and efficacy of mangosteen itself are also good, allowing more fruit farmers to see the planting prospects of mangosteen. Let's see how mangosteen cultivates the land.

1. Orchard soil

Mangosteen is actually very adaptable and suitable for growing in various soils, but it can't adapt to calcareous soil, sandy alluvial soil and sandy soil with low humus content. In tropical areas, loam and soil with good air permeability, deep soil layer, good drainage, slight acidity and rich organic matter are most suitable for mangosteen growth.

2. Breeding method

Cutting propagation is generally selected. When flowering, cut off the stems and leaves on the flower branches and cut them into seedling substrates. When these leaves and stems grow into complete seedlings, they can be transplanted and re-grown into tall mangosteen trees. Of course, the propagation of mangosteen can also take layered grafting.

3. Planting density

Generally, 22 ~ 30 mangosteen trees can be planted per mu. The row spacing is generally 6 meters, and the plant spacing is about 4 meters/month. 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.

4. Fertilizer and water management

Mangosteen is dominated by nitrogen fertilizer at the initial stage of growth. In the later stage, it can be applied externally and supplemented with micro-fertilizer. Water in time in dry weather, keep the soil moist, and drain in time in rainy season to avoid flooding. After mangosteen enters the fruiting period, it needs to be divided into growth period, flowering period, fruit setting period, strong fruit period and late topdressing; At the same time, water and drainage should be carried out according to the water demand at different stages.

Remodeling and pruning

After planting mangosteen, growers need to adjust the illumination in the planting area reasonably to avoid the excessive illumination in the planting area and inhibit the growth of mangosteen seedlings. After mangosteen planting, in order to make mangosteen grow better, growers can choose to build a shading shed, and the shading degree of the shading shed is best controlled between 85% and 95%. Dense branches, miscellaneous branches, diseased branches, dead branches and other branches that are not conducive to plant growth will appear during the growth of mangosteen. At this time, these branches should be cut off according to the growth of the tree potential to improve the air permeability and fruit setting rate between gardens.
