Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a fruit tree cultivation method, and belongs to the field of plant cultivation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Large cherry, also known as sweet cherry and cherry, is a kind of temperate deciduous fruit tree. The fruit is rich in nutrients, has the functions of beautifying skin, regulating middle and tonifying qi, and dispelling wind and dampness, and is a kind of health-care fruit with high nutritional and economic values. So far, the cultivation area of large cherry in the high-altitude cold region in the southwest of China has exceeded 15,000 hm 2 . Due to the cold and cool climate in summer, long sunshine time and large diurnal temperature difference in the region, the large cherry fruits produced have long growth period, sufficient accumulation of nutrients, sweet taste and excellent quality. Compared with the main production areas of large cherry in the north of China such as Shandong and Liaoning, the large cherry industry in the high-altitude cold region in the southwest of China started relatively late. Most of the fruit farmers lack relevant planting management experience, and do not choose suitable varieties for the region in the aspect of large cherry variety selection. The introduced varieties have poor adaptability, resulting in late fruiting, low yield, poor quality and low planting benefit of large cherry in the region, which seriously discourages the production enthusiasm of the fruit farmers. In order to improve the yield and quality of the fruits, increase the income of the fruit farmers and ensure the sustainable development of the large cherry industry in the region, it is urgent to carry out variety improvement at present, and replace the original low-efficiency varieties with excellent varieties that are suitable for the local climate conditions and have high quality and high yield. If new varieties are planted by re-establishing the orchard, it will take a long time, consume a lot of investment and take a long time to shape the tree. The existing grafting technology has problems such as low survival rate, grafting gum at the grafting interface, slow wound healing, weak growth of new shoots and slow orchard formation after grafting, so that the high grafting and variety replacement technology cannot play a real role. Therefore, it is of great significance for the quality improvement and income increase of the fruit farmers in the region to research a high grafting and variety replacement technology that is simple and easy to operate and can quickly form a high-yield orchard from the low-efficiency large cherry orchard in the high-altitude cold region in the southwest of China. SUMMARY

[0003] The purpose of the present application is to provide a new technology for high grafting and variety replacement of mature large cherry trees, which is simple to operate, can effectively improve the survival rate of large cherry grafting, promote the rapid shaping of large cherry trees and achieve high yield.

[0004] The present application is realized by the following technical scheme:

[0005] A method for high grafting and variety replacement of large cherry in the cold and cool highlands in the southwest of China for rapid and high yield, comprising the following steps:

[0006] (1) The original plant shaping pruning and management: in late May to mid-June of the first year, after the fruit picking, the plant immediately after the application of a nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium content of 30:10:10 high-nitrogen water-soluble fertilizer, the amount of 0.75-1.00 kg / plant, and pour water; then keep the plant base to grow in different directions 3-4 main branches, saw off the upper main stem and the rest of the branches, the main branches kept 5-10 cm from the base of sawing, all the sawing mouth smear wound healing agent; and in mid-July to early September of the same year, every 14 days after the application of a nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium content of 20:20:20 balanced water-soluble fertilizer, the amount of 0.30-0.50 kg / plant, to promote the new branch germination and growth.

[0007] (2) Selection of grafting stock branches: in the spring before grafting the next year, from the many new branches germinated after shaping pruning of the plant in the previous year, a branch near the sawing mouth of each retained main branch is selected as the grafting stock branch, and then the rest of the branches are all cut off from the base.

[0008] (3) Selection of grafting varieties and scions: select low cold requirement, strong self-fertility, early fruiting, high-yielding cherry varieties, and select spring germinated vegetative branches as scions for grafting.

[0009] (4) Grafting time and method: in late February to mid-March of the next year, the selected stock branches are cut to 8-10 cm, and single-bud wedge grafting is used for grafting, with one row of cherry varieties grafted each time. When grafting, the scion bud points should face outward, and the grafting interface and scion should be wrapped tightly with plastic film, exposing only the scion bud points.

[0010] (5) Management after grafting: timely removal of germination, strengthening of fertilizer and water management, and strengthening of disease and pest control. In late May to early June, when the new shoots of the scion germinate to 50-60 cm, the plastic film wrapped around the grafting interface and scion is cut open with a blade, and the new shoots are cut short at 15-20 cm, retaining the outer buds and lateral buds and removing the dorsal buds.

[0011] (6) Management in the second year after grafting: before germination in the spring, short-cut the strong and vigorous branches and the moderate branches to 10-15 cm, retaining the outer buds and lateral buds and removing the dorsal buds, and cut off the weak branches from the base. After the plant germinates, strengthen the fertilizer and water management, and strengthen the disease and pest control. In mid-May to early June, remove the strong and vigorous branches, weak branches, and branches that affect the ventilation and light transmission of the tree, leaving 15-20 moderate branches, and removing the new shoots germinated on the back and sides of the retained branches, keeping the branches single-axis extension.

[0012] The stock branch selected in step (2) should be between 0.6-1.0 cm in diameter, within 0.5 cm from the sawing mouth of the retained main branch, and must be a branch that grows on the upper part of the sawing mouth, is strong and highly lignified.

[0013] The selected large cherry varieties in the step (3) are respectively Ziqiao, Samidet and Hejin, and the thickness of the varieties should be between 0.5-0.8 cm.

[0014] The present application has the following advantages: the present application improves the existing large cherry high grafting and upgrading technology, overcomes the problems of low grafting survival rate, grafting interface gum, slow wound healing, weak new shoot growth, slow garden formation after grafting and the like in the traditional method, and can make the grafting survival rate of upgrading reach more than 90%, and make the upgraded plants form rapidly within two years, and the yield of single plant reach more than 3.50 kg in the third year, thereby bringing high economic benefits to the growers. EMBODIMENT

[0015] The present application will be further described in detail in combination with the embodiments and specific implementation manners. EMBODIMENT

[0016] A method suitable for large cherry high grafting and upgrading rapid high yield in cold and cool highlands in southwest, comprising the following steps:

[0018] (2) Selection of grafting stock branches: before grafting in the next spring, one branch near the sawing opening of each reserved main branch is selected from the numerous new branches germinated after the shaping pruning of the plants in the previous year as a grafting stock branch, and then the remaining branches are all cut off from the base.

[0019] (3) Selection of grafting varieties and scion: a large cherry variety with low cold requirement, strong self-pollination ability, early fruiting and high yield is selected, and a vegetative branch germinated in spring is selected as a scion, and the middle part of the scion is used for grafting.
