Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fruit tree cultivation technology, and in particular to a method for cultivating citrus with high efficiency and high quality. Background Technology
[0002] The citrus industry in Guangxi has developed rapidly. Data shows that in 2022, Guangxi's citrus planting area reached 9.48 million mu (approximately 665,000 hectares), with an annual output of about 18.68 million tons, accounting for 28.37% of the national total. Although the citrus industry has developed rapidly, there are many problems in production, such as inconsistent yield and quality. The most obvious issue is the coloring and diameter of the fruit; some fruits are orange-red and large, while others are orange-yellow and small. Fruit coloring is an important indicator of appearance quality and largely determines the market value of the fruit. Generally, the redder the fruit, the better its antioxidant and anti-cancer biological functions, such as the presence of carotenoids and flavonoids, resulting in higher nutritional value and a higher price. In citrus production, we have found that orange-red and orange-yellow citrus fruits coexist in orchards, seriously affecting the appearance quality of the fruit. Meanwhile, due to the rapid development of citrus cultivation, management techniques have lagged behind, leading to a high incidence of diseases and pests such as Huanglongbing (HLB), citrus canker, yellow vein disease, senescence disease, psyllids, spider mites, thrips, and aphids. This results in low yields, significant losses for fruit growers, and severely restricts the sustainable development of the citrus industry. Therefore, it is worthwhile to explore and research cultivation measures to promote fruit coloring, reduce disease incidence, and increase yield.
[0003] Current research on citrus fruit coloring measures mainly focuses on: using exogenous application of growth regulators such as naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and abscisic acid (ABA) to improve fruit coloring; and spraying lime sulfur solution at 0.5 Baume degrees 1-3 times in September and October to promote fruit coloring. However, there are problems with the difficulty in controlling the timing, concentration, and type of application, and slight carelessness can easily lead to adverse effects. Current research on citrus yield-increasing measures mainly focuses on: using exogenous application of beneficial microorganisms such as Bacillus and Actinomycetes to increase yield; using plant growth regulators such as diethylaminoethanol hexanoate (DA-6), 3,4-dichlorophenoxy-ethyl-diethylamine (DCPTA), fulvic acid, and sodium nitrophenolate to increase yield; and increasing the use of organic fertilizer and mineral nutrients to increase yield. However, there are problems with unreasonable application of plant growth regulators and fertilization, leading to low yield and quality. Current measures to reduce citrus disease incidence mainly involve manual low-pressure spraying of chemical pesticides, but the control efficiency is low, and the effect on Huanglongbing (HLB) is not obvious.
[0004] In response to the above-mentioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for cultivating citrus fruits that is efficient and of high quality. Summary of the Invention

[0111] The data in the table above shows that the combined water, fertilizer and pesticide management of this invention, by using beneficial microorganisms (EM bacteria and compound Bacillus) that have good fruit expansion properties, combined with DA-6 and mineral nutrition, not only reduces the rate of stunted fruit, but also improves the coloring of citrus.
[0112] Comparative Example 11: This comparative example does not have step (7), that is, no pre-market processing was performed, and the other steps are the same as in Example 4.
[0113] Comparative Example 12: In this comparative example, step (7) only used glucose powder diluted 300-500 times twice, and the other steps were the same as in Example 4.
[0114] Comparative Example 13: In this comparative example, step (7) only used molasses powder diluted 200-300 times twice, and the other steps were the same as in Example 4.
[0115] To demonstrate that the pre-market treatment of this invention can increase fruit sweetness and improve fruit quality, the applicant conducted the following experiment: The experimental site was located at the planting base of Guangxi Qifeng Orange Island Ecological Agriculture Development Co., Ltd. The orchard was established in February 2019, with the fruit seedling variety being Ziyang Xiangcheng rootstock Wogan. The experiment included experimental and control groups. The experimental group was cultivated using the method of Example 4; control group 1 was cultivated using the method of Comparative Example 11, control group 2 using the method of Comparative Example 12, and control group 3 using the method of Comparative Example 13. Each group planted 1 mu (approximately 0.16 acres), and fruits from each group were collected on February 18, 2023. Soluble solids and titratable acid were tested, and the results are shown in Table 5.
