Cultivation methods and precautions of yellow fruit

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: Kumquat prefers loose, fertile and moist soil. Sandy soil is generally used for cultivation. Sandy loam has good drainage and is more suitable for growing kumquats.

2. Water: Kumquat prefers a moist, water-sufficient and clean environment. It grows particularly luxuriantly during the rainy season. But also pay attention to drainage, too much water can easily cause root rot.

3. Nutrients: When planting kumquats, apply sufficient base fertilizer. You can spread fertilizer on the soil and then cover it with a layer of soil to ensure that there are sufficient nutrients in the soil. During the growing season, appropriate top dressing should be applied.

4. Light and temperature: The temperature for growing kumquats should be kept above 20℃. It also prefers light, and giving it sufficient sunlight during the growing season can help increase yield.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Pruning: When the fruit is ripe, the branches should be pruned to make the branches strong and the fruits abundant in the second year. This is equivalent to recultivating branches that have already produced fruit, thereby achieving the goal of increasing production.

2. Reproduction: Kumquat is mostly propagated by bud grafting. The best time to go is when the weather is clear. Select a smooth area ten centimeters above the ground for bud grafting. After the buds are taken over, fertilizing, watering and loosening the soil will help promote the absorption of nutrients.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Red spider mites: Red spider mites are a common pest of kumquat fruit. When encountering red spider pests, you can choose to use trichloronate emulsifiable concentrate mixed with water for spraying.

2. Downy mildew: Downy mildew is prone to occur during the germination period. At this time, you should use Baitai mixed with water to spray the diseased branches and leaves. If not handled in time, it will affect the growth of kumquat.

IV. Other issues

1. Can it be given as a gift: You can cultivate a small potted plant of kumquat and give it to a friend and place it on the balcony at home. When the harvest season comes, it is also a beautiful sight.

2. Is it edible? The kumquat is edible. Its flesh is fleshy but tastes slightly bitter.
