Apricot planting area
Apricot trees have low environmental requirements and good cold tolerance, especially in North China, Northwest China and East China, and a few areas are wild.
At present, apricot trees are planted in most parts of China, and the quality of apricot trees in many areas is extremely high. At present, apricots are planted in other provinces except the southern coastal provinces and Taiwan Province Province, so we can't say where apricots are special products, but there are many well-known producing areas in China, such as Beijing, Hebei and Shandong.
Planting conditions of apricot trees
Apricot trees can grow normally in areas where the annual average temperature is about 6 degrees. In the whole annual growth cycle, plants need an effective accumulated temperature of 2000-2500 degrees, and the temperature is higher than 10 degrees to complete flowering, fertilization and fruiting.
Apricot trees have high requirements for light, requiring annual sunshine hours of more than 2,500-3,000 hours. The ideal planting soil is sunny or semi-sunny slope with deep soil layer, fertile soil and good drainage.
Key points of apricot planting management
1, soil management:
Soil management is very important for planted apricot trees. In autumn, it is necessary to turn the soil about 20 cm, keep the soil fully ventilated, and increase the soil fertility, which is conducive to the better growth of roots.
2, fertilization:
Rational fertilization can improve the fruit setting rate of apricot trees. Should be based on organic fertilizer, add some diammonium. Base fertilizer can be ploughed in autumn.
3, irrigation and plastic:
Water once before germination to meet the needs of apricot flowering and growth. After flowering, it needs to be watered once to improve the fruit setting rate and fruit quality.
