How to raise Populus euphratica

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: Populus euphratica prefers loose sandy soil. If it uses relatively sticky soil, it will affect its growth.

2. Water: When growing Populus euphratica, the soil must be kept moist, so water it appropriately. Only when the soil remains moist can it grow stronger. If it is not watered for a long time and the soil becomes dry, it will grow poorly.

3. Light: Populus euphratica likes sunlight, so ensure that there is sufficient light when growing it.

2. Breeding Methods

Populus euphratica is generally propagated by sowing, and the survival rate of cuttings is very low. In July and August every year, after the fruit clusters turn yellow, choose healthy mother plants to collect the fruit clusters, then dry them and remove the seeds. Then choose sandy soil with good drainage, and the seeds are generally mixed with fine sand and sown in rows or broadcast.

3. Common pests and diseases

Leaf rust is the most common disease of Populus euphratica. In the early stage of the disease, there will be light yellow spots on the leaves, which will continue to grow. If the disease is serious, the leaves will die. Therefore, timely prevention and control are necessary. You can spray it with oxycarboxin. During normal maintenance, you should remove weeds in time and apply fertilizers reasonably to improve its disease resistance.
