How many kilograms of nectarines are generally produced per mu? What is the annual income from planting one mu of nectarines?

Nectarine yield per mu

The per-acre yield of nectarines is affected by the variety, planting site and management method. Medium to high-level management can produce an output value of 3,000 yuan per acre, and high-level management can produce an output value of 4,000-5,000 yuan per acre. The per-acre yield of some high-yield nectarines can even reach 7,000 jin.

Nectarine planting prospects

During the high-yield season, nectarines can produce 5,000 kilograms per mu, and the purchase price is usually 1.3 yuan per kilogram. The output value per mu is 6,500 yuan. Excluding labor and costs, the profit per mu is as high as 5,000 yuan. It can be said that the profit is already quite high, especially for the first batch of early-maturing nectarines on the market. The price is even higher, and the purchase price can be sold at 1.8 yuan per kilogram. The planting prospects are good.

How to grow nectarines to achieve high yields

1. Environmental requirements

Nectarines prefer an environment with plenty of sunlight, are not shade-tolerant, are drought-tolerant but afraid of waterlogging, and are not very demanding on the soil. As long as there is plenty of sunlight and the groundwater level is low, they can generally be planted. However, it is not suitable to be planted in sites where other peach trees or plum trees have been planted.

2. Variety selection

Nectarines are mainly grown in the northern region. The reason why they are not planted on a large scale in the south is that the south is hot and humid, with short sunshine hours, which cannot meet the physiological requirements of excellent nectarine varieties. Therefore, if planted in the south, early-maturing and extra-early-maturing varieties should be selected.

3. Planting time

Nectarines can be planted in autumn to before budding in spring. The best planting effect is after the leaves fall in autumn. Place the seedlings in the center of the pit with the roots spread flat on the bottom of the pit. Fill the area around the roots with fine soil and tamp it down while filling to promote root growth. After planting, water the roots according to soil conditions.

4. Fertilizer and water management

Nectarines grow relatively fast and require timely watering and fertilization. It is recommended to apply thin fertilizers frequently during the young tree stage, and adult trees should be fertilized twice, the first time before budding and the second time after harvesting. Other periods depend on the tree's condition. In addition, water frequently to ensure that the soil is moist but not waterlogged.

5. Pest and disease control

The main diseases and pests that harm nectarines include leaf curl disease, gummosis, peach aphids, fruit borer, scale insects, etc. You can spray chlorpyrifos to control peach aphids, use diazinon to control small fruit borer, and during the hatching period of the young eggs of scale insects, spray scale insecticides such as sulfamethoxazole or quick kill, and prune the diseased branches in time.
