Fruit tree planting management guide in July

July is an important period for the growth of fruit trees. During this time, fruit farmers need to pay close attention to the growth of fruit trees and take appropriate management measures to ensure the healthy growth and harvest of fruit trees. So what are the specific management points? Let’s take a look at the fruit tree planting and management guide in July.

1. Cover the tree with grass

Using crop straw or weeds to cover the orchard can not only reduce the breeding of pests and diseases, but also reduce temperature, retain moisture and improve the soil. However, it is necessary to pay attention to shallow tillage and raking the ground first, and then cover it with grass.

2. Summer pruning

After harvesting, the fruit trees should be thinned out, and drooping branches and branches that drag on the ground should be retracted to improve the light conditions of the trees and promote the diversion of nutrients to flower bud differentiation. For fruit-bearing trees, the main tasks are thinning the trees, controlling their growth and promoting flowering. For fruit trees that have not yet produced fruit, the vigorous branches should be pruned to soften them, the angles should be opened, and the growth should be slowed down.

3. Water management

The temperature in July is high, the evaporation is large, and the fruit trees have a higher demand for water. Fruit farmers need to arrange irrigation reasonably according to the growth needs of fruit trees and soil moisture conditions. Keep the soil moist, but avoid overwatering to the point of waterlogging. In arid areas , water-saving irrigation methods such as drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation can be adopted to improve the efficiency of water resource utilization.

4. Foliar fertilization

In July, most fruit trees enter the fruit expansion period. Pay attention to spraying phosphorus and potassium fertilizers on the leaves. You can spray amino acids and potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizers with a total concentration of 0.3% once every 7-10 days to promote fruit development. Spray twice in total.

5. Weed bagging

Remove orchard weeds and loosen the soil in time. The depth of inter-row tillage in high-yield orchards should be no less than 20cm, and it can be carried out simultaneously with soil topdressing. In addition, the fruits that have not been bagged in time should be bagged as soon as possible before the rainy season arrives. If you find that the ventilation holes are too small and there is water accumulation in the bags, you should promptly enlarge the ventilation holes appropriately to drain the water.

6. Pest and disease control

The climate in July is hot and humid, which easily induces various diseases and pests, such as black spot disease, ring rot, spot disease, downy mildew, black pox disease, red spider mites, aphids, star caterpillars, leaf rollers, pear psyllids, etc. We must patrol the garden every day and spray pesticides in time when we find signs of disease and insect pests.



The above is the sharing of the fruit tree planting and management guide in July. It is recommended that fruit farmers refer to the above guidelines, focus on the growth of fruit trees, and strengthen disease and pest control, water and fertilizer management, pruning and weeding. Only by taking these management measures can we ensure the healthy growth and good harvest of fruit trees.
