The invention relates to an early-maturing-promoting, quality-improving and efficiency-improving planting method for sweet oranges in a dry-hot valley region, and belongs to the technical field of sweet orange planting. The method comprises the following steps: selecting a
crystal sugar orange adult fruit-bearing
orchard which is good in growth vigor and tidy in tree vigor after being planted for 3 years;
irrigation is conducted from mid-to-late September to mid-to-late November in the same year, the
soil humidity is kept to be 50%-70%, leaves of the fruit trees are dry and curled in the
daytime, and the fruit trees return to the
normal state at night; in the first ten days of October in the current year, 600-700 times of a 30%
paclobutrazol suspending agent is sprayed; after the fruits are harvested, in the middle ten days of November of the current year,
pruning is conducted after flower
bud differentiation is completed by 70%-80%; fertilizing in mid-to-late November in the same year, and irrigating thoroughly; 20%
gibberellic acid soluble
powder is sprayed twice. By means of the method, the yield per mu is increased by about 50%, pericarp is smooth, fruits are uniform in color, shape and size, pulp is fresh and tender, the
solid content is obviously increased, and application and popularization are easy.
