Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of kiwifruit cultivation technology, and more specifically to a method for cultivating kiwifruit in a narrow orchard system. Background Technology
[0002] In traditional kiwifruit cultivation, a single main trunk is cultivated on the kiwifruit tree, from which two strong main vines are selected. These vines are then trellised and extend outwards along a central wire. A fruiting branch is left at regular intervals on each main vine, and these branches are fixed to the trellis wires at right angles to the row direction, parallel to each other, in a pinnate arrangement. It is evident that traditional cultivation methods in kiwifruit cultivation have many limitations. Firstly, conventional kiwifruit cultivation typically uses a single main trunk with multiple main vines. This structure not only makes plant growth complex and inconvenient to manage but also wastes space and limits the density of orchard planting. Secondly, under traditional cultivation methods, the production cycle of kiwifruit is long, usually requiring several years to achieve initial fruiting and mass production, which undoubtedly increases the investment risk and return period for growers. Furthermore, the spacing between plants in traditional orchards is relatively large, generally around 2-3 meters. This wide-row, sparse planting method results in low land utilization and makes it difficult to quickly achieve effective commercial yields. Growers need to find a way to enable kiwifruit plants to enter the fruiting period earlier while making more efficient use of land resources. Summary of the Invention
[0003] As described in the prior art above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for planting kiwifruit in a narrow orchard system, which can make full use of the space in the narrow orchard system and increase the yield of kiwifruit.
[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: The method of planting kiwifruit in a narrow orchard system is to change the traditional kiwifruit planting method of one main stem and multiple main vines to one main stem and one main vine. The trellising mode of kiwifruit is changed to one main vine and one vine trellising mode. The main vine is orderly guided and fixed along the preset support or support to achieve trellising growth. In the narrow orchard system, the traditional kiwifruit planting spacing of 2-3 meters is changed to a 1-meter planting spacing for denser planting, which quickly achieves trellis coverage and increases yield.
[0005] Furthermore, when planting kiwifruit, select large-diameter seedlings, which are grafted seedlings with a total length of over 3.3m and a main stem height of about 1.2m, exhibiting a vertically folded shape.
[0006] Furthermore, before planting, the soil is tilled to a depth of 1.5 meters or more, with three layers of fertilization, 20 tons of organic fertilizer applied per mu, and the width of the raised beds is 3.5 meters, with the width of the work path and drainage ditch being 2.5 meters.
[0007] Furthermore, in the narrow orchard system, the ratio of male to female trees is 5:1.
[0008] Furthermore, the traditional kiwifruit cultivation method involves one main stem and two main vines.
[0009] Furthermore, kiwifruit trees can bear fruit in the second year of planting. After the kiwifruit trees grow in the third or fourth year, they can be thinned or transplanted to ensure ventilation and light penetration in the orchard.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) The method for planting kiwifruit in a narrow orchard system provided by this invention retains only one main stem and one main vine. The main vine extends in one direction along the central wire, and a certain number of fruiting branches are retained on the main vine. The fruiting branches are fixed to the trellis at a certain angle to the main vine. Using long-diameter seedlings, trees that grow in the same year can achieve initial fruiting in the following year. Compared with the traditional kiwifruit planting mode, production can be started at least one year earlier, that is, production can be started in the second year, which greatly shortens the payback period of kiwifruit planting. Through dense planting, mass production can be achieved quickly in the following year. Based on the calculation of 4 fruiting branches per tree and 10 catties of fruit per fruiting branch, the yield per tree in the following year is 40 catties. Based on 150 female trees per mu, the yield in the following year can reach 6,000 catties.
[0011] (2) The method for planting kiwifruit in a narrow orchard system provided by this invention allows for production in the second year under dense planting conditions in a narrow orchard system. After the trees grow to maturity in the 3rd or 4th year, thinning or transplanting can be carried out to ensure ventilation and light penetration in the orchard. This scheme integrates innovations in planting patterns, dense planting, use of long-diameter seedlings, soil treatment, male-female ratio, and early fruiting, forming a complete kiwifruit planting technology system. This comprehensive optimization has significant advantages in increasing yield, shortening production time, and improving orchard management. This scheme is particularly suitable for narrow orchard systems, effectively utilizing limited land resources and improving the economic and ecological benefits of the orchard. Attached Figure Description
[0012] To more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, the accompanying drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly described below. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on the provided drawings without creative effort.
[0013] Figure 1 This is an example of a single kiwifruit vine being trained on a trellis. Detailed Implementation
[0014] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0015] Example
[0016] This embodiment provides a method for planting kiwifruit in a narrow orchard system. The method changes the traditional kiwifruit planting method of one main stem and two main vines to one main stem and one main vine. The trellising pattern is changed to a single main vine trellising pattern. This pattern reduces competition between main vines, allowing nutrients to be more concentrated on a single main vine, thereby increasing yield per plant and fruit quality. The main vine is systematically guided and fixed along a pre-set support or trellis for trellising. This pattern better utilizes space, improves photosynthetic efficiency, and facilitates management and harvesting.
[0017] In this embodiment, in a narrow orchard system, the traditional kiwifruit planting spacing of 2-3 meters is changed to a denser planting spacing of 1-1.5 meters, quickly achieving trellis coverage and increasing yield. This dense planting method allows for rapid trellis coverage, improves land utilization, and thus increases yield. This dense planting model has significant advantages in modern orchard management, especially when land resources are limited.
[0018] In this embodiment, long-diameter, large-stalk kiwifruit seedlings are selected for planting. These seedlings are grafted and have a total length of over 3.3 meters, with a main stem height of about 1.2 meters, exhibiting a vertically bent shape. These long-diameter, large-stalk seedlings have stronger growth vigor and a higher survival rate, enabling them to enter the fruiting period more quickly and shortening the orchard's production time.
[0019] In this embodiment, before planting, the soil is tilled to a depth of at least 1.5 meters, with three layers of fertilization. 20 tons of organic fertilizer are applied per acre, the ridges are 3.5 meters wide, and the access road / drainage ditch is 2.5 meters wide. The depth of tilling (at least 1.5 meters), the three layers of fertilization, and the application of 20 tons of organic fertilizer per acre significantly improve soil structure and increase soil fertility, providing a good foundation for kiwifruit growth. The 3.5-meter-wide ridges and 2.5-meter-wide access road / drainage ditch effectively improve orchard drainage, reduce disease occurrence, and facilitate mechanized operations.
[0020] In this embodiment, during the planting process, the ratio of male to female trees in a narrow orchard system is 5:1. This ratio ensures sufficient pollination sources, improves fruit set rate, and avoids excessive male trees occupying space and resources.
[0021] In this embodiment, the kiwifruit trees can bear fruit in the second year after planting. This early fruiting ability can significantly shorten the investment payback period and improve economic benefits. After the kiwifruit trees have grown in the 3rd or 4th year, thinning or transplanting can be carried out to ensure ventilation and light penetration in the orchard. These late-stage management measures can optimize the orchard structure and extend the economic life of the orchard.
[0022] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
