3. Fruit characteristics

The Golden Autumn Mandarin Orange is seedless and has an average sugar content of 12-14 degrees, which can be as high as 17 degrees. Its slagging ability far exceeds that of ordinary mandarin oranges.

In general, compared with ordinary tangerines, Golden Autumn Tangerines mature earlier, taste better, and are a little more expensive. However, they also have disadvantages, such as weak resistance to fungal diseases, the rootstock and soil must be matched, and the skin is too thin .

Where is the best place to plant golden autumn tangerines?

The Golden Autumn Mandarin Orange is an excellent single plant selected from many hybrid offspring groups by the Citrus Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences with Ehime No. 30 as the female parent and Mandarin Orange as the male parent. It has stable horticultural traits.

The Golden Autumn Mandarin Orange has a gorgeous appearance, is tender and crumbly, has a pure and sweet flavor, and is of superior quality. It has inherited the main advantages of its parent, the Mandarin Orange, with a bright rich red fruit surface, smooth skin, and a bright wax layer.

Key points of planting and management techniques of Jinqiu Shatangju

Golden Autumn Tangerines are usually planted with excellent and strong seedlings. The main features of strong plants are strong stems and branches, no rotten roots, no disease spots on the plants, and thick green leaves.

When planting, it is advisable to respect its growth habits, plant scientifically and rationally, and try to create a suitable growth environment for it. In order to ensure its survival, it is advisable to pay attention to the following points.

1. Planting time

In the south, Golden Autumn Tangerines are usually planted in spring, autumn and winter, with early spring being the most suitable.

Because during this period of time, the temperature begins to rise and the sap is about to flow, which is very beneficial to the healing of rhizome wounds and the growth of the root system, and can greatly improve the survival rate.

2. Planting environment

The Golden Autumn Tangerine has strong adaptability and is not very demanding on soil. Generally speaking, as long as there is sufficient sunlight and the temperature is suitable, it can grow anywhere, whether it is a slope or a flat land, a tidal flat or a farmland.

However, if it is planted on a large scale, it is best to choose a fertile, loose, sunny and ventilated plot for planting. Avoid waterlogged depressions and shady plots.

3. Pruning before planting

Before planting Golden Autumn Tangerines, their roots and seedlings should be properly pruned to reduce nutrient consumption and water evaporation and increase the survival rate.

When pruning, first cut off some of the main roots and broken roots, then appropriately remove some of the dense and long roots, and then cut off some branches and leaves while retaining three or two main branches.

4. Treatment of the affected area and soaking in rooting water

After pruning, the roots and branches of the Jinqiu Tangju seedlings will have some infected surfaces. If not treated in time, they are very easy to be infected and breed viruses. Therefore, it is advisable to spray disinfectant or apply protective coating on the infected surfaces as soon as possible.

Before planting, the roots should be soaked in diluted rooting water for 2 to 3 hours to promote root growth.

5. Colonization

When planting Golden Autumn Mandarin oranges, the width and depth of the hole should be determined based on the height of the plant and the size of the root system.

Because the appropriate hole depth is beneficial to the support of the plant and can prevent it from falling over; and the appropriate hole width is conducive to the stretching of the root system, allowing it to breathe smoothly and the sap to flow faster.

Before planting, it is best to apply an appropriate amount of well-rotted farmyard manure as base fertilizer, then put in the seedlings, straighten and relax the roots, bury the soil, plant it, and then compact and water it.
