Apple Management and Fertilization Technology in June

Apple is a very familiar and common fruit , which is widely popular for its rich nutritional value and affordable price. It contains a variety of nutrients such as antioxidants and multivitamins, so it is deeply loved by consumers. With the arrival of June, some early-ripening apple varieties have entered the stage of fruit enlargement and coloring. The management of apple trees is particularly important during this period. Let’s learn about apple management and fertilization techniques in June.

1. Apple bagging

In order to improve the quality and size of apples, the apple fruits can be double-bagged in early June, that is, "film bag + paper bag". When bagging, make sure the fruit is dry and free of dew, use high-quality paper bags, and ensure that the air holes in the bags are open so that the apples are suspended in the bag. Bagging should be done during periods of high temperature to prevent the fruit from getting burned. Before bagging, the fruit can be sterilized and disinfected, and appropriate agents can be used to ensure the health of the fruit.

2. Reasonable water and fertilizer

June is the period when new shoots grow, flower buds differentiate and fruits develop for apple trees, which requires sufficient supply of water and fertilizer. Irrigate properly to keep the soil moderately moist and avoid waterlogging or drought. There are various irrigation methods, including furrow irrigation, ditch irrigation, sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation, which can be selected according to the actual situation of the orchard . At the same time, fertilization in June is mainly based on quick-acting fertilizers, focusing on the reasonable combination of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus fertilizers to promote the healthy growth of fruit trees.

3. Summer pruning

Summer pruning is essential for flower bud differentiation and new shoot growth of apple trees. Remove diseased and weak branches and old branches in time, improve ventilation and light conditions, and promote balanced growth of trees. There are many different pruning methods, including pruning, topping, twisting, branching and ringing, each with its own specific purpose and operating techniques.

4. Pest and disease control

June is also the peak period for apple tree diseases and pests. Adopt a strategy of prevention first and treatment second, and regularly use biological pesticides for foliar spraying. For specific diseases and pests, choose corresponding chemical agents for treatment to protect the health of fruit trees.

In summary, the management of apple trees in June is crucial, and scientific and reasonable management measures can significantly improve the quality and yield of apples.
