Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cherry cultivation, and specifically provides a cultivation method for greenhouse cherries. Background Art

[0002] Greenhouse cherries refer to cherries cultivated in greenhouses, plastic greenhouses or other facility equipment. By artificially regulating environmental conditions (such as temperature, humidity, light, etc.), the early or late ripening of cherries can be achieved, improving fruit quality and yield. Facility cultivation can extend the market time of cherries, enabling them to be on the market during the off-season of traditional open-field cultivation, increasing economic benefits. Through facility protection, cherries can grow in areas where open-field cultivation is not suitable. Facility cultivation can effectively avoid the impact of adverse weather such as low temperature, rain, and strong wind during the flowering period in open-field cultivation, and at the same time improve fruit quality through environmental regulation.

[0003] Although the technology of greenhouse cherry cultivation has been widely applied in recent years, the existing technology still has the following main defects:

[0004] 1. Currently, most greenhouse cherry greenhouses adopt the main trunk layered type with a tall tree body using a vigorous rootstock, with a height of 4 - 5m, which requires a lot of labor and is highly dangerous in production management. The bushy tree shape mostly uses dwarf rootstocks, but it is not conducive to planting in barren hilly and mountainous areas. Using a bushy tree shape with a vigorous rootstock takes a relatively long time to start bearing fruit, about 4 - 5 years;

[0005] 2. At present, the artificial pollination method is mostly used to ensure the fruit set rate of sweet cherries, and the fruits pollinated artificially are large, but due to human intervention, there are no kernels in the fruit pits, and the storability and transportability are poor after maturity;

[0006] 3. After the sweet cherries set fruit, the new shoots and leaves grow vigorously, affecting the growth of sweet cherry fruits. Excessive growth of new shoots is likely to cause fruit shrinkage and fruit drop. The new shoots are promoted to form flower buds by pinching. The traditional method is to spray paclobutrazol or PBO after the flowers fade to inhibit growth, and there is no discovery of using growth inhibitors during the flowering period. Summary of the Invention

[0007] (I) Technical Problems to be Solved

[0008] In view of the deficiencies of the existing technology, the present invention provides a cultivation method for greenhouse cherries, which solves the problems raised in the above background art.

[0009] (II) Technical Solutions

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions: A cultivation method for greenhouse cherries, comprising the following steps:

[0011] S1. Select high-quality, early-maturing, and highly adaptable cherry varieties. At the same time, ensure that the pollinator variety has the same flowering period as the main cultivated variety and good compatibility. The number of pollinator trees should account for about 10%.

[0012] S2. Use a standard rootstock, preferably Colt. The spacing between cherry trees is 2 - 2.5 meters, and the row spacing is 3 - 4 meters. The planting time is set in autumn.

[0013] S3. Conduct bee pollination and artificial pollination simultaneously. Introduce bees in the early flowering stage in the morning or evening, and spray foliar fertilizers containing trace elements such as boron and zinc, such as boron source library, zinc source library, or directly spray the full-nutrient Sea Elf biostimulant. During the full flowering stage, when gently tapping the branches and petals start to fall, conduct artificial pollination and spray the pollination agent.

[0014] S4. One day after spraying the pollination agent during the full flowering stage, start spraying paclobutrazol on the whole tree 1 - 2 times, with a spraying multiple of 100 - 120 times and an interval of 5 - 7 days.

[0015] S5. Adopt a bushy tree shape, with a trunk height of 30 - 50 cm, 10 - 15 branches per tree, and each branch distributed in a cup shape around.

[0016] Preferably, the cherry tree is selected from one of Youmei Zao, Huojian, Luying 5, etc., and the number of pollinator trees accounts for 10% - 15% of the total number of cherry trees.

[0017] Preferably, the cherry planting garden is selected in a location with a sunny and sheltered wind direction, deep soil layer, fertile, loose, good air permeability, low groundwater level, and sufficient sunlight. The planting garden needs to undergo construction operations such as deep plowing the land, applying sufficient organic fertilizer, making ridges, digging ditches, and laying drip irrigation tapes. Irrigation, fertilization, film mulching supporting facilities, as well as drip irrigation and subsurface irrigation systems are set up in the planting garden. Thermometers, carbon dioxide concentration meters, and heating equipment are equipped in the planting garden, and iron wires and bamboo poles are arranged in the greenhouse for easy access and operation by personnel.

[0018] Preferably, for the cherry orchard, 1 - 2 pollination box bees are equipped according to the facility cherry greenhouse with a yield of 2000 kg per mu. Each box of bees contains 5000 - 6000 bees. The beehives are placed around the facility greenhouse, 30 cm above the ground. The pollination agent is the Guoguang brand cherry pollination agent.

[0019] Preferably, the greenhouse frame material in the cherry planting garden is made of hot-dip galvanized steel pipes and covered with polyvinyl chloride anti-aging film.

[0020] Preferably, in step S5, the trunk height of the shaped cherry tree is 30-50 cm, the tree height after shaping is 1.5-3.5 m, main branches with appropriate angles are cultivated on the trunk and extend around to form a crown. The opening angle of each main branch is 20°-30°, and the main branches are distributed in a cup shape around. Spur-like fruiting branches or short fruiting branches are directly borne on the main branches. When the diameter of the main branch reaches 4-5 cm, girdling is carried out. The girdling method for the branches is to carry out girdling every 20-25 cm upward from the base in sequence.

[0021] Preferably, in step S5, the trunk height of the shaped cherry tree is 30-50 cm, the tree height after shaping is 1.5-3.5 m, main branches with appropriate angles are cultivated on the trunk and extend around to form a crown. The opening angle of each main branch is 20°-30°, and the main branches are distributed in a cup shape around. Spur-like fruiting branches or short fruiting branches are directly borne on the main branches. When the diameter of the main branch reaches 4-5 cm, girdling is carried out. The girdling method for the branches is to carry out girdling every 20-25 cm upward from the base in sequence.

[0022] Preferably, the planting steps of the cherry tree include digging holes, applying basal fertilizers, putting the seedlings into the holes, filling the soil and compacting it, and watering thoroughly.

[0023] (III) Beneficial effects

[0024] The present invention provides a method for planting cherry trees in facilities, having the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. By optimizing the pollination management and combining artificial pollination with bee pollination, the present invention solves the problem that traditional artificial pollination leads to no hormone secretion in the kernels, which affects the storability and transportability of fruits. Bee pollination ensures the normal secretion of hormones in the kernels and promotes the growth of cherry fruits. Artificial pollination enlarges the fruits and increases the solid content of the fruits, thus significantly improving the fruit setting rate and fruit quality, making the fruits uniform in size, bright in color, and excellent in taste, effectively enhancing the overall quality and market competitiveness of the fruits.

[0026] 2. By using real-time girdling to shape a short-crown cup-shaped tree form, the tree structure is optimized, the tree body is dwarfed, and the difficulty and danger degree of production management are reduced. Compared with the traditional trunk-layered tree form of the tall rootstock, the tree structure of the present invention is more reasonable, the ventilation and light transmission conditions are significantly improved, the occurrence probability of diseases and pests is reduced, the time to start fruiting is shortened, and the economic benefits are generated earlier.

[0027] 3. By using a growth inhibitor after artificial pollination, the present invention controls the excessive growth of new shoots, increases the vegetative growth of fruits, reduces the labor for pinching the new shoots, and reduces the workload of fruit tree maintenance.
