June Fruit Tree Planting Management Guide

June is a critical period for the growth of fruit trees. Appropriate management measures are essential to the growth of fruit trees and the quality of fruit. So what specific work needs to be done? Let’s take a look at the fruit tree planting and management guide in June.

1. Water management

Moderate drought in the orchard in mid-to-late June is conducive to the cessation of short branch growth and differentiation of flower buds, but if it is too dry, appropriate supplementary irrigation should be given. It is recommended to adopt drip irrigation or infiltration irrigation to avoid flooding.

2. Reasonable topdressing

In June, many 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.

3. Orchard weeding

For orchards that practice clean tillage, weeds should be removed in a timely manner to ensure that the orchard is ventilated and light-permeable, and to reduce damage from pests and diseases. You can also use a rotary tiller or lawn mower to weed, or raise geese in the orchard. Try not to use herbicides .

4. Summer pruning

Timely remove the upright new shoots on the back and the competing, turning back, overlapping, and crowded new shoots to improve the ventilation and light conditions of the tree, especially the inner part of the crown should be kept transparent. Some auxiliary branches, competing branches, and upright branches that have growth space should be removed or twisted from their base to promote their development into fruiting branches.

5. Fruit thinning and bagging

For fruit trees with a large amount of fruit, the fruits should be thinned out in time after the fruits are stable. At this time, about 30% more fruits should be reserved, and the fruits should be thinned out again before the coloring period. After the fruits are set, spray a mixture of insecticides and fungicides 1-2 times, and complete bagging within 3-5 days after spraying.

6. Pest and disease control

The main diseases and pests of fruit trees in June include ring rot, leaf spot disease, brown spot disease, as well as hawthorn leaf mites, two-spotted leaf mites, golden moths, peach borers, etc. Pesticide control should be carried out before and after bagging, and appropriate pesticides should be selected for spraying control.



In general, after entering June, management measures should be flexibly adjusted according to the growth phenological periods of different varieties of fruit trees and the specific planting conditions of fruit trees to ensure the healthy growth of fruit trees and improve fruit quality and yield.
