How to grow nuts

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Most nut plants prefer a warm environment, and the temperature between 20 and 30 degrees is more suitable. If it is too high or too low, it will affect the yield and the taste of the fruit. So, try not to go higher than thirty-five degrees, nor lower than fifteen degrees.

2. Light: Nut plants generally have high requirements for sunlight. Only by providing sufficient light can the yield and quality of the fruit be guaranteed. Generally speaking, there needs to be enough scattered light throughout the day, and only light that is too strong needs to be slightly blocked. During the flowering and fruiting periods, the requirement for sunlight is particularly high.

3. Watering: Some types of nuts have shallow roots, so their water requirements will be higher. Therefore, it needs to be adjusted according to the climate. If the environment is too dry, water needs to be replenished in time; in the rainy season, drainage work needs to be strengthened.

4. Fertilization: An appropriate amount of fertilizer can increase its yield, but the amount of fertilizer should not be too much. Fertilization can be done according to the specific type of nuts, as different varieties have different requirements.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Most nut plants can be propagated by sowing. The seeds can be collected after the fruits ripen in August to September. Then sow in mid-March of the following year. Soak it in water for two or three days before sowing. You can use wet sand as the substrate, or choose a suitable location. The row spacing can be between 40 and 50 centimeters, and the plant spacing can be between 15 and 20 centimeters, and the "spot sowing" method can be adopted.

2. Pruning: In order to promote the amount of flowering and fruiting, appropriate pruning can be carried out in spring. Furthermore, there may be some yellowing and aging branches and leaves, which can be cut off in time.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: Different types of nuts may have different diseases. The main type is "powdery mildew", which is more common from July to August and can be treated with benomyl. There is also "brown spot disease" which can cause leaves to fall. You can cut off the diseased leaves and then use Bordeaux liquid to prevent and control it.

2. Pests: There is the "yellow thorn moth", which will eat the leaves and its eggs will overwinter. They can be eliminated using various pesticides.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: Generally speaking, most nuts are non-toxic and the fruits are edible.

2. Can they be raised at home? Generally not, because they are grown on large areas.
