Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fruit tree cultivation, and more particularly to an organic ecological planting method for apples. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the strengthening of health awareness, consumers have higher and higher requirements for fruit quality, not only paying attention to appearance and taste, but also paying more attention to safety and nutritional value. Currently, the following problems are common in apple cultivation:

[0003] Excessive use of chemical inputs: Long-term reliance on chemical fertilizers leads to soil compaction, acidification, salinization, and imbalance of microbial communities; the extensive use of chemical pesticides causes excessive pesticide residues, which harms human health.

[0004] Severe soil degradation: Continuous tillage has resulted in soil organic matter content generally below 1%, far below the 3% standard for high-quality orchards, and the soil has poor water and fertilizer retention capacity.

[0005] Increased resistance of pests and diseases to pesticides: Long-term use of similar chemical pesticides causes pests and diseases to develop resistance, and the effectiveness of prevention and control decreases year by year.

[0006] Fruit quality declines: Apples grown with large amounts of chemical fertilizers and artificially ripened are large in size but have poor taste, bland flavor, and low nutritional value.

[0007] The existing organic ecological planting technology has the following shortcomings:

Based on the current management status and the requirements of microbial ecological cultivation, we now propose a year-round management method for apples using the "microbial ecological cultivation method."

[0115] Specifically in this embodiment, Shandong Yantai Fuji apple planting base overview:

[0116] Location: Qixia City, Yantai City, Shandong Province

[0117] Area: 50 mu

[0118] Variety: Red Fuji

[0119] Age: 8 years old

[0120] Soil conditions: brown loam, initial organic matter 1.2%, pH 6.0

[0121] Implementation process:

[0122] 1. Soil improvement (October 2019): Apply 4 tons of decomposed sheep manure per mu; 100 kg of soil remediation agent (including Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens); 80 kg of mineral conditioner; deep plowing 35 cm;

[0123] 2.2020 Anniversary Management:

[0124] With bacterial fertilizer and bacterial agent as the main fertilizer, a combination of furrow application and drip irrigation is adopted. Nutritional balanced fertilization is carried out according to the growth and development characteristics of apples. Organic bacterial fertilizer is applied heavily, and soil remediation bacterial agent and soil conditioner are applied to achieve nutritional balance for fruit tree growth, improve fertilizer utilization rate, reduce fertilizer usage and production cost.

[0125] To improve the yield, quality and benefits of fruits, the plan is to apply fertilizer 7-8 times a year, including 1 time of furrow application and 6-7 times of drip application.

[0126] (1) In late February and early March, apply 5 kg of 86 Mycorrhiza Duowang plus 10 kg of 22% potassium humate containing 500 million / g per mu. Depending on the dryness and wetness of the soil and weather conditions, combined with spring watering, apply 1-2 times (with an interval of about 15 days between the two times) to nourish and strengthen the roots, promote root growth, inhibit pathogens, supplement the nutrition of the fruit trees, and quickly restore the tree vigor.

[0127] (2) In late March and early April, apply 5 kg of high-phosphorus water-soluble fertilizer (10-30-10 + TE) + 5 kg of 200 million chelated complete nutrient water-soluble fertilizer + 1 kg of multi-boron + 1 kg of multi-zinc per mu to promote flower bud formation and increase fruit setting rate;

[0128] (3) From mid-May to late July, 5 kg of balanced water-soluble fertilizer (20-20-20 + TE) + 5 kg of chelated complete nutrient water-soluble fertilizer (7-3-5 NPK, 200 million microbial agents, containing chelated trace elements) + 5 kg of multi-calcium fertilizer per mu.

[0129] 2 kg, 2 times in a row, with an interval of 15-20 days in between, to promote fruit expansion;

[0130] (4) From early August to mid-September, apply 5 kg of high-potassium water-soluble fertilizer (15-5-30+TE) and 10 kg of polyglutamic acid herbal nutrient solution per mu, twice in a row, with an interval of 15-20 days in between, to promote fruit growth and fruit color change, and improve fruit quality;

[0131] (5) In late September, apply 500-1000 kg of bio-organic fertilizer, 80 kg of soil remediation agent, and 80 kg of soil conditioner per acre to lay the foundation for high-quality, high-yield, and high-efficiency fruit trees next year;

[0132] 3. Preserve flowers and fruits

[0133] (1) Spraying fertilizer

[0134] ① During the early flowering period (around late March), spray once with 50g per mu of 1200 times multi-boron + 300 times root and leaf fungicide (200g per mu) + 600 times chitosan solution (100g per mu) to prevent late spring cold and protect flowers and fruits;

[0135] ② During the flowering period (early to mid-April), spray once with a mixture of multi-boron fertilizer + 200 times diluted root and leaf fungicide (300g per mu) + 300 times diluted chitosan oligosaccharide solution (200g per mu) + Fruit Setting No. 1 to prevent freezing and protect flowers and fruits;

[0136] (2) Prevent frost

[0137] ① Delay germination: water the fruit trees once during their budding period, with a dripping rate of more than 3 tons per mu, to delay the flowering period;

[0138] ②Spray nutrient solution; first, three days before the arrival of frost, apply 200 times the concentration of root and leaf fungicide + 300 times the concentration of chitosan oligosaccharide solution, 200 grams per mu, to enhance the cold resistance of fruit trees, promote the growth of flowers (buds), and prevent frost to protect flowers and fruits;

[0139] ③ Orchard fumigation: Fuming the orchard increases the temperature by releasing smoke, preventing frost. A temperature of -20°C or higher is effective. First, create smoke piles, layering flammable straw and weeds with moist fallen leaves, grass roots, and sawdust. Cover with soil and insert wooden sticks in the middle to facilitate ignition and smoke production. Smoke piles are distributed around and within the orchard, no higher than 1 meter. Five to six piles are required per acre. Then, based on weather forecasts, they are ignited around 1:00 a.m. before frost arrives.

[0140] ④ Artificial pollination: If flowers and fruits are damaged by frost, liquid pollination is used. To prepare a pollen suspension, add 2 grams of pollen, 100 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of borax to 1 kilogram of water. Spray the pollen evenly on the stigma of the flowers to increase the fruit setting rate. If the flowers and fruits are not affected by frost, this method can be omitted.

[0141] When thinning flowers and fruits, leave one inflorescence every 20-25 cm during the inflorescence separation period, and remove all other inflorescences. However, you can leave a denser distribution of full-bodied flower buds with good quality, and remove all thin and shriveled flower buds with poor quality, with an average of 20-25 cm. When 75% of the flowers are open, keep one central flower in each inflorescence, and remove all other side flowers. Flower buds formed within 30 cm of the top of fruiting branches above 1 meter tend to bend and droop after fruit setting, and the grown fruits are small, so the long inflorescences cannot be selected. Inflorescences within 20 cm of the base of the branches have small branches and leaves, poor light, and small fruits, and should also be thinned out. When thinning inflorescences, you should keep the rosette leaves and fruit platforms below them so that these fruit platforms can fully accumulate nutrients and form better flower buds in the same year. For insurance purposes, in addition to keeping the central flower, you can also keep one well-grown side flower, and only keep one fruit when setting the fruit. To ensure fruit set, increase the flower retention insurance factor by 10-20% based on tree vigor, flower bud quality, management level, and variety characteristics. When thinning fruit, retain fruit on secondary branches, strong branches, both sides, and upright, high-stalked fruit. Remove short-stalked fruit, deformed fruit, fruit at the base and front of branches, fruit with diseases and insects, and fruit from axillary flower buds.

[0142] 4. Pest and disease control

[0143] Pest and disease control is an important measure to improve fruit yield and quality.

[0144] The principle of combining the two is to focus on pest and disease control during the critical period to ensure that pests and diseases are effectively controlled;

[0145] (1) Pick up pruned branches and clean leaves and weeds. After the garden thaws in spring and leaves fall in autumn and winter pruning, pick up weeds, leaves and pruned branches between fruit trees and transport them out of the garden;

[0146] (2) Spray lime sulfur mixture and spray (apply) old bark exfoliation liquid on the trunk to prevent and control diseases. Venus Golden Apple trees are malnourished and the tree is very easy to weaken and easily develop dry rot and rot, which has a great impact on the normal growth of fruit trees. Therefore, when the temperature rises to 14℃ in early and mid-March, spray the garden with 5-degree lime sulfur mixture, and spray 2-degree lime sulfur mixture again when the buds are about to sprout. Secondly, apply the trunk of fruit trees with more serious diseases. The specific method is: fill the old bark exfoliation liquid into the spray bottle and spray (mist) on the diseased scars. You can apply it directly with the original liquid or dilute it with 5-10 times of water. The spraying height depends on the height of the trunk. If the disease is serious, spray 2-3 times. Thirdly, for fruit trees with 1-2 diseased scars, spray the medicine on the diseased scars. Spray the old bark exfoliation liquid all around the trunk of several consecutive diseased scars, especially the middle and lower parts of the trunk and the southeast and southwest sides. Check carefully and don't miss a single diseased scar.

[0147] (3) Rotary tillage of the garden to prevent weeds; Rotary tillage of the garden before mid-March in spring and before the garden freezes in autumn to mature the soil, kill weeds, prevent diseases and insects;

[0148] Spraying microbial agents

[0204] Experimental design

[0205] Experimental group: using the method of the present invention

[0206] Control group: conventional organic farming methods (organic fertilizer + limited use of biopesticides)

[0207] Conventional group: chemical planting method (chemical fertilizer + chemical pesticide)

[0208] Each group has 3 replicates, each with an area of 5 mu, all varieties are Red Fuji, and the trees are 7 years old; Experimental results

[0209] Comparison of the effects of three planting methods

[0210] index The present invention Conventional planting General Chemistry Yield (kg / mu 3800 3200 4000 High-quality fruit rate (%) 86 70 65 Soluble solids (%) 15.3 13.5 12.8 Pesticide residue detection none none 3 types detected Annual growth of soil organic matter (%) +0.4 +0.2 -0.1 Microbial content (billion / g) 3.5 1.2 0.3 Production cost (yuan / mu) 6500 6000 5500 Sales price (yuan / kg) 15 10 5 Net profit (yuan / mu) 50500 26000 14500

[0211] As shown in the table above, the yield of this method is 18.7% higher than that of conventional organic methods, reaching 95% of that of chemical farming. Furthermore, the high-quality fruit rate and sugar content are significantly higher than those of the two control groups. The method is completely free of pesticide residues, meeting organic standards. The organic matter and microbial content have increased significantly, and the net profit is 3.5 times that of chemical farming.

[0212] Respect the existing management methods of apples, optimize and improve measures, use biological organic fertilizers and mineral elements to completely replace chemical fertilizers in fertilization management, and use "bacteria to inhibit bacteria and bacteria to control insects" biological methods in pest control management.

[0213] The control completely replaces chemical pesticide control; Sanguan Fruit and Vegetable Farm's year-round production management completely achieves the "five no's" of no chemical synthetic inputs, namely no chemical fertilizers, no chemical herbicides, no chemical synthetic insecticides, fungicides and plant hormones, so as to achieve the goal of healthy orchard soil and strong trees, build a benign ecological cycle environment system for orchards, and meet the needs of the general public for leisure picking, safe tasting and healthy consumption; based on "one good" (good soil microecological environment), "two increases" (increase in quality and efficiency), "three no's" (no extra money, no extra labor, no reduction in output) and "four resistances" (resistance to cold and heat, drought and flood, premature aging and pathogens).

[0214] The basic principles are: first, use microbial agents to repair, condition and improve the soil and fertilize the soil; second, use microorganisms to balance the tree nutrition and cultivate strong plants during the annual management of fruit trees; then adopt "using bacteria to inhibit bacteria and using bacteria to control insects" disease and pest prevention and control measures, promote ecological pesticide-free planting in orchards, achieve the "zero pesticide residue" quality standard, and finally achieve a win-win goal of ecology and benefits.

[0215] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
