"Six Taboos" for Newly-built Apple Orchard

One avoids blindly setting varieties. Fruit trees are perennial economic crops, and the site conditions of the orchard directly affect the quality of the orchard and the economic benefits after completion. Therefore, it is necessary to develop some new varieties of "famous, high-quality, new and special" adapted to local climate characteristics in accordance with local conditions.
Second, avoid unreasonable intercropping. Avoid planting corn and other high-stalk crops in young orchards, let alone planting crops that share diseases and insect pests with fruit trees. Fertilizer and water management should adopt the principle of "promoting in the early stage, slowing down in the mid-term, and controlling in the later stage", and avoid perennial flooding and large fertilizer to promote growth. The prevention and control of plant diseases and insect pests should focus on prevention and do a good job in comprehensive control. For young orchards, we must do a good job in the prevention and control of the green leafhopper, which is one of the key measures to prevent the young trees from "spinning".
Third, avoid planting fruit trees without planting forest belts. In fact, the relationship between forest belts and orchards "benefits a large area and affects one line". Especially in areas where winter and spring are cold and windy and sandy, orchard shelterbelts are particularly important. Therefore, the forest belt must be planted before or at the same time.
Four bogey drainage and irrigation are not matched. According to the growth needs of fruit trees, it is obvious that watering without losing the opportunity can promote the growth of fruit trees. Of course, drainage is also very important.
Five taboos only value square planting and ignore rectangular planting. The advantages of square planting are: good ventilation and light transmission, but not suitable for close planting. With the promotion of dwarfing and dense planting techniques and the advent of advanced gardening machinery, rectangular planting has attracted more and more attention. Its outstanding advantages are: good ventilation and light transmission, suitable for mechanical operation, suitable for close planting, not easy to close the whole garden, and convenient manual operation and management.
Mixed planting of six taboo tree species, single species, unreasonable combination of pollination species. In intensively managed production gardens, mixed planting of apples, pears, peaches, apricots and other different tree species is prohibited. Because mixed planting is not conducive to management, the cross-infection of pests and diseases will increase the cost of pest control and management. In addition, fruit trees are cross-pollinated plants and have a low self-flowering rate. Therefore, in a production garden, it is sufficient to plant 3 to 5 varieties, not too many.
