[0071] (5) Spray once with foliar fertilizer A after first pruning, and then spray again with foliar fertilizer A after 12 days; spray once with foliar fertilizer B during the budding period, and then spray again with foliar fertilizer B every 15-20 days, a total of 4 times with foliar fertilizer B, each time spray on the tips, branches, leaves and trunks, the spraying amount is based on wetting without dripping, and the spraying time is selected before 10:00 in the morning or after 17:00 in the afternoon, avoiding rainy days.

[0072] Comparative Example 1

[0073] Pruning in the same walnut forest as Example 2 above:

[0074] (1) On December 6, 2023, cross branches, overlapping branches, back branches and weak branches on the main branches of the walnut trees were pruned, and strong side branches were selected on both sides of the main branches, with a branch group spacing of 20-30 cm;

[0075] (2) Fertilization management: 10 kg of supplemental fertilizer per plant is applied after pruning, 12 kg of supplemental fertilizer per plant is applied before the budding period of the walnut trees, and 8 kg of supplemental fertilizer per plant is applied during the fruit setting period of the walnut trees, and the supplemental fertilizer is applied near the tree roots, and then the soil is irrigated with clear water;

[0076] (3) Spray foliar fertilizer A on the walnut tree on the day after pruning, and then spray foliar fertilizer A again after 12 days; spray foliar fertilizer B once during the budding period, and then spray foliar fertilizer B again every 15 days, for a total of 4 sprays of foliar fertilizer B. Each time the foliar fertilizer is sprayed, it is sprayed on the shoots, branches, leaves and trunk. The amount of spraying should be enough to moisten the soil without dripping. The spraying time should be before 10:00 am or after 5:00 pm, avoiding rainy days.

[0077] Comparative Example 2:

[0078] The treatment was carried out in the same walnut orchard as in Example 2 above:

[0079] (1) Do not prune the walnut trees. Apply 10 kg / tree of supplementary fertilizer on December 6, 2023. Apply 12 kg / tree of supplementary fertilizer before the walnut trees sprout. Apply 8 kg / tree of supplementary fertilizer during the fruit setting period. All supplementary fertilizers should be applied near the roots of the trees. After covering with soil, water thoroughly.

[0080] (2) On December 18, 2023, foliar fertilizer A was sprayed on the walnut trees once, and then foliar fertilizer A was sprayed a second time after 12 days. Foliar fertilizer B was sprayed once during the budding period, and then foliar fertilizer B was sprayed again every 15 days. Foliar fertilizer B was sprayed a total of 4 times. Each time foliar fertilizer was sprayed, it was sprayed on the shoots, branches, leaves and trunk. The amount of spraying was such that it was moist but not dripping. The spraying time was chosen before 10:00 am or after 5:00 pm, avoiding rainy days.

[0081] Detection:

[0082] Referring to the above embodiments and comparative examples, different treatment methods and foliar fertilizers were selected for treating Yangbi walnut trees according to Table 2 below:

[0083] Table 2

[0084]

[0085] Referring to Table 2 above, each experimental group treated three Yangbi walnut trees with similar growth conditions, and the unripe fruit was harvested starting in September 2024 (as shown in the diagram at the time of harvest). Figure 3 (As shown), walnuts collected throughout September were weighed and their quality assessed.

[0086] 1. Yield: Calculate the average yield of green walnuts per group of walnut trees (yield of green walnuts per tree).

[0087] 2. Reference Figure 4 The standard for the size of Yangbi walnuts is used to grade the harvested walnuts from each group of walnut trees, and to calculate the proportion of large, medium and small fruits in the total harvest (large fruit: diameter ≥ 3.5cm, medium fruit: 3.0cm ≤ diameter < 3.5cm, small fruit: diameter < 3.0cm).

[0088] 3. The percentage of peeled walnuts in each group of large, medium and small fruits in the total weight of green fruits (10 walnuts of each fruit size in each group were randomly selected to calculate the average value) (peeled walnuts are shown in Figure 5 );

[0089] The specific results are shown in Tables 3 and 4 as follows:

[0090] Table 3

[0091]

[0092] From the above table, it can be seen that the addition of HM-1 and β- arbutin in the leaf fertilizer of the experimental group 1 can effectively improve the yield of walnuts, optimize the fruit size of walnuts, and increase the proportion of large fruits. In addition, the proportion of large fruits in the experimental group 6 and the experimental group 7 without the addition of β- arbutin is significantly reduced.

[0093] Table 4

[0094]

[0095] From the above table, it can be seen that the method of the experimental group 1 can effectively improve the percentage of peeled walnuts in the total weight of green fruits, i.e. improve the economic value of walnut harvest.

[0096] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit it; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples can be modified, or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
