Kiwi fruit is a very popular fruit. It is not only sweet but also nutritious. It has a strong market demand and good planting benefits. Let’s learn about kiwifruit cultivation techniques below. 1. Cultivation site You should choose land with good drainage conditions and fertile soil, such as humus soil. Slightly acidic soil is also relatively suitable, but the pH value must be controlled between 5.5 and 6.5. In the process of planting kiwifruit, it is necessary to ensure sufficient base fertilizer. After selection, dig a hole with a length of 1m, a width of 1m and a depth of more than 60cm, and apply potassium superphosphate and organic fertilizer . After the fertilizer is applied, cover with topsoil to increase soil fertility. 2. Planting time The planting time should be chosen in winter or spring. When planting kiwifruit in winter, wait until the seedlings have shed their leaves. When planting kiwifruit in spring, it should be cultivated before the seedlings sprout. 3. Planting Select seedlings with well-developed root systems and in relatively good condition as grafted seedlings. Strengthen seedling pruning before transplanting, prune off diseased and insect-infested branches, and graft healthy branches onto plants with good roots. During the planting process, it is necessary to straighten out the root system of the grafted seedlings, ensure the planting depth exceeds the grafting coverage depth, and finally water them to ensure sufficient moisture. 4. Pruning and shaping It mainly includes kiwifruit's bud removal, topping, and vine tying. From March to May, depending on the growth of the kiwi fruit, leave 1 to 2 strong branches and vines, and cultivate the branches and vines from June to August. Pinch off the branches in April. In addition, thinning should be done effectively. If the branches grow to 15 cm, cross branches and weak branches should be pruned and removed. 5. Water and fertilizer management During the kiwifruit planting process, watering and fertilizing should be done well. Compound fertilizer should be applied from April to August, or organic fertilizer and compound fertilizer should be applied during the kiwifruit germination period. Watering should be sufficient. Kiwifruit likes humidity. If there is less precipitation or the climate is hot, water it in time to avoid damage due to lack of water. 6. Pest and disease control During the spring growth and winter dormancy of kiwifruit, it is necessary to spray pesticides. Especially in the early spring stage, scale larvae are prone to occur, so relevant staff are needed to prevent and control them. Kiwifruit is also very susceptible to root rot. In the early stages of kiwifruit root rot , the roots should be exposed, and the diseased area should be exposed to sunlight, and pesticides should be sprayed on the diseased parts. That’s it |
