Transplantation and management methods of orchid trees

The blueberry tree is also known as the blueberry tree . Blueberry is a special fruit that combines ornamental, edible and health-care functions. It has high nutritional value, good taste, and a high market price, so many people want to plant it. Here are some tips on transplanting and managing blueberry trees.

1. Site selection

Before transplanting the orchid tree, you must first choose a place with sufficient light, good drainage, loose soil and rich in organic matter. After selecting a plot of land, remove weeds and stones, deep plow and apply fertilizer to create good conditions for the growth of orchid trees.

2. Digging trees

In the spring when the orchid trees are growing vigorously, select healthy seedlings for transplanting. When digging trees, try to preserve the roots as much as possible to reduce root damage. After digging out the seedlings, cover the roots with wet soil and keep the soil moist.

3. Transplanting and planting

The best time to plant blueberry seedlings is in spring and autumn, but autumn planting is easily affected by low temperatures in winter, which affects the survival rate of seedlings. Therefore, you can choose spring planting, which is from March to April each year, and before the new buds of the seedlings sprout. When transplanting, make sure the seedling is upright and the roots are stretched out, fill the hole with soil and compact it lightly.

4. Water in time

Water in time after transplanting to keep the soil moist. At the same time, build a shade net around the seedlings to prevent direct sunlight from causing the seedlings to lose water. After the seedlings take root, gradually remove the shade nets to allow the seedlings to gradually adapt to the light.

5. Field management

The first is fertilization. The principle of blueberry fertilization is to use organic fertilizer as the main fertilizer and chemical fertilizer as the auxiliary fertilizer. Fertilization should be balanced and not biased towards one type of fertilizer. If blueberries show symptoms of nutrient deficiency, you can simply apply more fertilizer containing the nutrient according to the type of nutrient being deficient.

The second is watering. The moisture content in the blueberry orchard should be kept between 60% and 70%. If there is a water shortage, irrigation should be carried out in time to avoid water shortage affecting the growth of the plants. During the period from mid-autumn to late autumn, the water supply should be reduced, which will help the plants enter dormancy in time.

Finally, it is the prevention and control of diseases and pests. The main diseases and pests of blueberry are leaf blight, deadwood, longhorn beetles , and beetle larvae. The same principles as other crop prevention and control are based on early prevention. If the plants show symptoms of disease or pests, they must be treated with medication in time. Alternating medication is recommended.
