Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural cultivation technology, specifically a method for artificially breaking dormancy and promoting early cultivation of peach trees. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, the climate conditions in the Hexi Corridor region of Gansu are excellent, making it suitable for the widespread cultivation of peach trees. However, peach tree cultivation requires artificial methods to break dormancy and promote early planting. Traditional artificial methods are divided into physical and chemical methods. Physical methods involve physical cooling or transplanting peach trees into low-temperature chambers for temperature control, which is costly and not suitable for large-scale peach tree cultivation. Chemical methods, on the other hand, have a limited range of methods for promoting peach tree growth and may pose chemical safety concerns. Therefore, traditional methods are not efficient in breaking dormancy and promoting early planting of peach trees, and are therefore inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for artificially breaking dormancy and promoting early cultivation of peach trees, which solves the problem that traditional methods are inconvenient for efficiently breaking dormancy and promoting early cultivation of peach trees.

[0004] Technical solution

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for artificially breaking dormancy and promoting early forcing cultivation of peach trees, comprising the following specific cultivation methods: Step 1: Select high-quality peach seedlings. In August, maintain a low temperature environment below 4℃ and accumulate a dormancy period of 40-50 days. Spray the tips of new shoots with 5% seaweed extract to promote bud activation. Step 2: Remove the leaves in mid-August and control watering to forcibly stop growth. After removing the leaves, spray with a 5% humic acid solution to enhance stress resistance. In early September, set up a 50% shade net to reduce daytime temperature by 3-5℃. Step 3: Adopt the day-cover-night-uncover method: During the day, cover the greenhouse with insulation blankets and straw curtains to block the temperature rise, and uncover the greenhouse film at night to utilize the natural low temperature. Start ventilation and cooling at night when the temperature drops below 10℃, and continue for 30 to 40 days to meet the cooling requirements. At the same time, spray 3% potassium nitrate solution at night to enhance the low temperature response. Step 4: In late October, lay a 20cm thick layer of crushed ice and cover it with straw to maintain a low temperature environment in the root zone for 15-20 days. Spray the supernatant of calcium cyanamide, dot it on the fruiting branches and buds, avoiding the bark of the main trunk. Spray ammonium nitrate solution 7 days after the calcium cyanamide. Spray the whole plant until it drips. Step 5: Maintain daytime temperature for 3 days after spraying. On the 3rd day after the temperature rises, spray a mixture of 50ppm gibberellin and 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate. From the 4th day onwards, gradually increase the temperature and maintain a relative humidity of 60-70%. After 8 days, completely remove the shading facilities and use pulse irrigation. When 80% of the bud scales have cracked, thin out the buds and retain fruiting branches with a spacing of 15cm.

[0006] Preferably, in step three, covering during the day and uncovering at night can increase the effective cold energy accumulation by 40%.

[0007] Preferably, the cost in step four is only 1 / 5 of that in cold storage processing.

[0008] Preferably, in step five, the daytime temperature is maintained at 15-18℃ and the nighttime temperature at 5-8℃ for three days after spraying.

[0009] Preferably, in step four, the spraying amounts of calcium cyanamide supernatant and ammonium nitrate solution are 20% calcium cyanamide supernatant and 10% ammonium nitrate solution, respectively.

[0010] Preferably, irrigation is stopped 48 hours before spraying in steps one, three, four and five to prevent the pesticide from seeping into the soil with the water and polluting it. The heavy metal content is measured monthly, with a focus on monitoring arsenic and lead levels.

[0011] Preferably, the peach seedlings are grown in a potting mix composed of river sand, topsoil, and well-rotted cow manure in a ratio of 1:1:1. Beneficial effects

[0012] This invention provides a method for artificially breaking dormancy and promoting early cultivation of peach trees. It has the following beneficial effects: This invention maintains a low-temperature environment in the root zone for 15-20 days by laying a 20cm thick layer of crushed ice and straw covering around the tree base in late October. It employs a day-cover-night-uncover method: during the day, the tree is covered with an insulating blanket and straw mat to prevent overheating, and at night, the plastic film is uncovered to utilize the natural low temperature. In today's climate of global warming, where the diurnal temperature difference alone is insufficient to meet the needs of early forcing cultivation of peach trees, this invention achieves physical cooling of the tree base through a physical method. Furthermore, the use of crushed ice allows for resource reuse and solves the problem of high costs associated with physical methods.

[0013] This invention maintains a low-temperature environment in the root zone by laying a thick layer of crushed ice and covering it with straw in the tree basin, spraying calcium cyanamide supernatant, applying it to the fruiting branch buds, avoiding the main trunk bark, and spraying ammonium nitrate solution 7 days after the calcium cyanamide. This structure combines traditional physical methods with the spraying of chemical agents, which can improve the dormancy breaking and forcing cultivation effect of peach trees. The combination of the two effectively improves the forcing rate.

[0014] This invention prevents pesticides from seeping into the soil and polluting it by stopping irrigation 48 hours before spraying in steps one, three, four, and five. It also monitors heavy metal content, with a focus on arsenic and lead levels, monthly. This improves the detection and protection against the harmful effects of chemical pesticides on the soil, preventing chemical corrosion and thus protecting peach tree growth.
