Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fruit tree cultivation and management, and in particular to a method for comprehensively preventing and controlling spring dryness of young apple branches. Background Art
[0002] As a high-quality fruit, apples have played an important role in the fruit tree planting industry in recent years. Their bright color and sweet taste are highly sought after by consumers, bringing considerable economic benefits to fruit farmers.
[0003] However, the cultivation of young apple trees presents numerous challenges. Among them, the ability of branches to withstand dryness and survive the winter is particularly problematic. Low temperatures in winter often cause frost damage to the branches of young apple trees, impacting their growth and development. In severe cases, they can even cause their death, resulting in significant economic losses for fruit farmers.
[0004] The resistance of apple branches to dryness loss is closely related to their moisture content. Adequate moisture accumulation strengthens the branch's cellular structure, thereby improving its resistance to dryness loss. Although fruit farmers and researchers currently employ conventional measures to help young apple trees survive the winter, such as whitewashing the trunks, these methods have limited effectiveness in reducing and improving resistance to dryness loss, and some are costly and cumbersome.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to find a comprehensive prevention and control method that can improve the anti-drainage ability of apple branches and is easy to operate. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method for comprehensively preventing and controlling spring dryness of apple sapling branches.
[0007] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for comprehensively preventing and controlling spring dryness of apple saplings comprises the following steps: Selection of apple orchard: Choose a trunk-shaped apple orchard with a row spacing of 1.2m×4m~1.5m×3.5m for planting young apple trees; Water control: Irrigate during the summer new shoot growth period, with a total irrigation volume of 19 cubic meters per mu to 21 cubic meters per mu; Topdressing: After irrigation, apply monoammonium phosphate and potassium sulfate once; the application rate of monoammonium phosphate is 0.75kg / mu to 0.85kg / mu; the application rate of potassium sulfate is 0.95kg / mu to 1.05kg / mu; Pinching: Prune the new shoots of apple trees after they grow out; Promote leaf drop: Spray urea solution on young apple trees once during the semi-dormant period in autumn, and then spray once every week for a total of three times. The spraying amount each time is 28kg / mu~32kg / mu; Physical control: Use straw to tie up the upper 0.6m~1m of the tree during the winter dormancy period; Chemical control: Spray young apple trees with a high-lipid film solution during the winter dormancy period and the early spring bud break period, with a spraying rate of 79kg / mu to 81kg / mu.
[0008] Preferably, the variety of the apple saplings is Yanfu 10.
[0009] Preferably, the sapling apple tree is 1 to 2 years old.
[0010] Preferably, the mass concentration of the urea solution is 4.5% to 5.5%.
[0011] Preferably, the lipid membrane solution is prepared from lipid membrane and water, and the ratio of lipid membrane to water is 1:800 to 1:1000.
[0012] Preferably, the urea solution is sprayed on the leaves.
[0013] Preferably, the high lipid film solution is sprayed on branches.
[0014] Preferably, the specific pruning method for pruning the new shoots of the apple saplings is to remove the upper branches at a position 5 to 7 leaves away from the base when the branch length is 15 cm to 20 cm, and to remove the buds below the pinching position.
[0015] Preferably, the topdressing is applied by hole application.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides a method for comprehensively preventing and controlling spring dryness of apple saplings, comprising the following steps: Selection of apple orchard: Choose a trunk-shaped apple orchard with a row spacing of 1.2m×4m~1.5m×3.5m for planting young apple trees; Water control: Irrigate during the summer growth period of new shoots, with a total irrigation volume of 19m3 / mu~21m3 / mu; Topdressing: Apply monoammonium phosphate and potassium sulfate once after irrigation; the application rate of monoammonium phosphate is 0.75kg / mu~0.85kg / mu; the application rate of potassium sulfate is 0.95kg / mu~1.05kg / mu; Topdressing: Wait until the topspinning is done. Prune new shoots of young apple trees as they emerge. To promote leaf drop, spray young apple trees with a urea solution once during their semi-dormant period in autumn, then spray once every week thereafter for a total of three applications, with a spray rate of 28-32 kg / mu per mu each time. Physical control: Straw the upper 0.6-1 m of the tree during winter dormancy. Chemical control: Spray young apple trees with a high-lipid membrane solution during winter dormancy and early spring bud break at a rate of 79-81 kg / mu. This study, using young 'Yanfu 10' apple trees as research subjects, has successfully developed a comprehensive method for preventing spring branch draining in young apple trees. Through precise manipulation, this method significantly increases the water content, soluble protein content, and lignin content of young apple branches, effectively improving their resistance to draining in early spring. This method not only reduces damage to young trees caused by branch draining, ensuring their healthy growth, but also lays a solid foundation for high-quality and high-yield apples, providing strong technical support for the sustainable development of the apple planting industry. It fills the gap in related fields in terms of technology for improving the resistance of apple sapling branches to draining, and greatly improves the technical system for cultivating apple saplings.
[0017] Furthermore, the method is simple and inexpensive to implement in practice, requiring no expensive equipment or specialized materials. This provides a practical and feasible technical solution for fruit farmers in cultivating young apple trees. This not only helps ensure the safe wintering of young trees, but also lays a solid foundation for the subsequent vigorous growth and high and stable yields of the fruit trees, providing a strong theoretical basis and technical support for the healthy development of the apple industry.

[0064] Comparative Example 1 A trunk-shaped apple orchard of the same variety, age, and rows as in Example 1 was selected, and the orchard environmental conditions were maintained consistent with those in Example 1. Irrigation followed the local standard frequency and water volume; fertilization followed conventional standards, with no specific ratio of monoammonium phosphate or potassium sulfate applied; no topping during the growing season, with new shoots allowed to grow naturally; no urea solution was sprayed to induce leaf drop throughout the year; no physical protective measures such as tying straw to the trunks or spraying with a high-lipid film solution were adopted; and all other management procedures (such as pest and disease control, intertillage, and weeding) were carried out according to local apple orchard standard management procedures.
[0065] Experimental Example 1: Changes in branch moisture content, soluble protein content, proline content, and lignin content Taking Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 as examples, within 2 months after treatment, randomly selected branches from Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were used to measure the dry matter content of the branches using the drying and weighing method. The branch measurement data were collated and analyzed, and the results were as follows: Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it was found that the moisture content, soluble protein content, proline content, and lignin content of the branches of Example 1 were significantly improved compared to those of Comparative Example 1. And they were significantly higher than Comparative Example 1. This shows that the integrated prevention and control method can effectively enhance the anti-drainage ability of young apple branches.
[0066] Experimental Example 2: Investigation of branch draining rate in the following year The following year's branch draining rate survey: The draining rate of apple saplings in the plot was investigated, and the draining rate was calculated using the formula: draining rate (%) = (length of drained branches / total length of branches) × 100%. It was found that the draining rate of the branches treated with the integrated control method, that is, the branches in Example 1, was significantly lower than that in Comparative Example 1. Figure 5 and 6 This indicates that the integrated control method can effectively reduce the occurrence of branch draining in apple saplings.
[0067] Similarly, the changes in the moisture content, soluble protein content, proline content, and lignin content of the branches of Examples 2 to 5, as well as the branch draining rate in the following year, were tested. The results showed that the moisture content, soluble protein content, proline content, and lignin content of the branches of Examples 2 to 5 were also significantly higher than those of Comparative Example 1; the branch draining rate in the following year was also significantly lower than that of the Comparative Example.
[0068] The above results prove that the method for comprehensively preventing and controlling spring draining of apple sapling branches of the present invention can effectively increase the moisture content and soluble protein content of apple sapling branches, so as to improve the draining resistance of the branches.
