Is growing hazelnuts profitable?

Hazelnut is a common nut that is easy to manage and grow. The market demand has been relatively large in recent years. As long as there is a fixed sales channel, the profits will be very considerable, so you can plant it with confidence.

Profits and benefits of growing hazelnuts

The yield of hazelnuts is very high in the first year after planting. In the second year, the yield per mu can reach about 500 kilograms. According to the current market price, after deducting the cost, the income per mu is about 14,000 yuan.

High-yield cultivation techniques for hazelnuts

1. Planting density

If you want a high yield of hazelnuts, you must determine a reasonable planting density, which can be determined based on the terrain, topography, and soil conditions. If it is a vigorous variety, the row spacing should also be a little farther.

2. Planting depth

The planting depth of hazelnuts will directly affect the yield. Generally, the planting depth should not be less than 5 cm. If the soil is loose, the soil should be gently compacted after planting to avoid soil sinking during watering later.

3. Water and fertilizer management

Hazelnuts are relatively water-loving, so they should be watered immediately after planting. Make sure there is enough water, then cover the soil and a layer of plastic film to increase the survival rate of the hazelnut trees.
