How many kilograms of mulberry are generally produced per mu? What is the approximate profit of planting one mu?

Mulberry yield per mu

The per-acre yield of mulberry is affected by planting time, management technology, and maintenance environment. Three-year-old mulberry seedlings can bear fruit in the same year and enter the high-yield period after about four years. The average per-acre yield of mulberry trees is about 3,000-4,000 kilograms, and some high-yield varieties can even reach about 10,000 kilograms.

Mulberry planting prospects

1. The cost of mulberry planting is mainly divided into land rental cost, labor cost, fertilizer and pesticide cost, and seedling cost, which costs about 3,366 yuan. The yield of planting 1 mu of mulberry is 3,000-5,000 jin, with a market price of 15 yuan per jin. The income is about 45,000-75,000 yuan. After deducting the cost, the profit is 41,634-71,634 yuan.

2. The price of mulberries is relatively high now, so if farmers sell it as fresh fruit, the economic benefits will be relatively large. After large-scale development of mulberries, they can not only be used as fresh food varieties, but also made into juice, jam, etc. In addition, they can also be used as medicine, so the economic benefits are considerable.

How to grow mulberries to get high yields

1. Mulberry trees are best planted in places with deep soil, loose and fertile soil, and away from pollution. Before that, deep plowing should be carried out, and then the rotted livestock manure and soil should be mixed into fertilizer as base fertilizer and buried deep in the soil.

2. The best time for planting is in winter and early spring when the temperature is around 12 degrees Celsius. During the planting process, the integrity of the root system should be ensured without damaging the root system. It is best to immerse the root system in mud mixed with phosphorus fertilizer, which is more conducive to the survival of the root system.

3. Mulberry gardens are suitable for dense planting. Hybrid mulberry trees are suitable for planting 5,000-7,000 plants per acre. Generally, the row spacing should be maintained at 65-80 cm, and the plant spacing should be controlled at 12-18 cm. After the roots are compacted, a layer of loose soil should be applied, covering the roots by 3 cm, and then watered to establish roots.

4. After planting mulberries, cover the ground or mulberry rows with straw and weeds to retain water and prevent drought, thereby reducing water loss in the plants and inhibiting excessive weed growth. It is also very helpful in preventing soil hardening and helping soil fertilization.

5. Drain water in time when there is a lot of rain, and water the soil in time when it is dry. When the mulberry tree sprouts, manure or urea water and fertilizer should be applied, one to two times depending on the situation. In addition, weeds should be removed in time during the growing season, and the amount of fertilizer applied to young trees should be small and multiple times.
