The invention discloses a
pruning method for promoting blackberry fruiting under an
open field efficient cultivation condition, which is used for performing the following
pruning management on the blackberries cultivated in the
open field in winter after fruits are harvested: (1)
pruning basal branches: for the basal branches of the blackberries, selecting 1-2 branches with the
branch thickness of more than 20mm, reserving 1-2 branches as trunks, and directly pruning and removing the rest basal branches; (2) secondary lateral
branch pruning: retaining 4-5 secondary lateral branches with the thickness of more than 10 mm and the length of more than 80 cm on the basal branches, pruning and removing all the other secondary branches, pruning the retained secondary lateral branches, and controlling the length between 70 cm and 80 cm; 15-20
tertiary lateral branches with the thickness being 7 mm or above and the length being 50 cm or above on the secondary lateral branches are reserved, moderate pruning is conducted on the
tertiary lateral branches, the length is controlled to range from 45 cm to 50 cm, 3-5 axillary buds are reserved on each
branch, and the other
tertiary lateral branches are directly pruned and removed. According to the method, the blackberries cultivated in the
open field are pruned in winter, meanwhile,
fertilizer and
water regulation in spring and summer of the next year is combined, the balance between vegetative growth and reproductive growth of the blackberries can be effectively regulated, flower
bud differentiation of the blackberries is promoted, the number and quality of blackberry fruits are improved, and the maximum
economic benefits are achieved.
