Peach cultivation methods and precautions

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: The soils generally chosen for planting are sandy loam and gravel soil. Acidic soil is very helpful for its root growth and can promote its root system to develop and strengthen.

2. Water: It has a great demand for water and needs to be watered sufficiently. Water it when the soil is dry. Sufficient water can make its branches and leaves lush and strong, but excessive watering is not good.

3. Nutrients: Organic fertilizer and fruit fertilizer are generally used as topdressing. Select an appropriate amount of fertilizer and spread it evenly in the soil. Adequate nutrients can make the plants grow strong and the fruits thick, large and sweet.

4. Light: Peach is a plant that likes plenty of sunlight. Sufficient and bright light can make it grow well. However, it should not be exposed to strong light all the time, as this will affect the moisture conservation of its branches and leaves.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Pruning: Pruning should be divided into juvenile pruning and adult pruning. When the tree is young, the focus should be on nurturing branches and removing tips, which can better help its branches and leaves grow strong. When the plant is mature, it should be pruned in a way that allows ventilation, mainly pruning dense branches, diseased branches, old branches and dead branches.

2. Reproduction: Grafting is generally used for reproduction. Select strong young shoots and graft them onto seedlings. In about 10-15 days, you will see the grafted branches take root and can be transplanted in the spring of next year.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Leaf curl: A common disease in peach cultivation is leaf curl, which usually occurs during the germination period in early spring. At this time, lime sulfur can be diluted with water and sprayed to solve the problem.

2. Peach borer: The most common insect pest is the peach borer, which has a great impact on the erosion of peaches. Protection should be started at an early stage by diluting cypermethrin with water and spraying it.

IV. Other issues

1. How to spend the winter: Peach trees will hibernate in winter, and they should be watered once at this time. Then prune off dead branches, diseased branches, and deformed trunks, which will help the branches to be stronger when they sprout in early spring next year.

2. Is it edible? Peaches are edible. The flesh is thin and the skin is thin. Hard peaches are crisp, sweet and delicious, while soft peaches are sticky, fragrant and juicy. They are a very common fruit.
