Passion fruit belongs to dioecious flowers, female flowers bear fruit, male flowers pollinate, and its pollination media are mainly bees and insects, but also artificial pollination. Passion fruit planted in spring can bloom in July of that year and be harvested in September. After the second year, flowers begin to bloom in April every year, and 5-6 batches can be opened in a year, with an interval of 20 days for each batch. It takes 60-70 days from flowering to fruit ripening, and the fruit is harvested for more than 4 months.

There are two main propagation methods of passion fruit, one is direct seeding of seeds, and the other is cutting propagation of vines. 70-80 main vines are planted per mu, and the main vines climb onto the scaffolding step by step. Passion fruit yield per mu is 1- 1.5 tons, with a high yield of more than 2 tons. ?

Passion fruit, produced in South America, is a perennial evergreen climbing vine tropical fruit. It is named because its juice has the aroma of guava, mango, banana and other fruits. Passion fruit has strong adaptability, vigorous growth, pest resistance, early maturity, high yield, good quality, storage and transportation resistance, broad market and high economic benefits.

Passion fruit-the king of juice?

Passion flower is native to South America, and it is called "Passion Fruit" because its juice exudes the rich fragrance of bananas, pineapples, lemons, strawberries, peaches, pomegranates and other fruits. It is also a transliteration of its English name "Passion Fruit", which is also called "King of Juice" and "Cash Tree" abroad. ?

Passion fruit is a perennial evergreen vine fruit, which is rough and easy to manage, does not choose soil, can be planted at -3.4℃ in all seasons, has high self-pollination rate, and is a real "green" fruit variety. The fruit was harvested that year and has been harvested for many years. Generally, the fruit harvesting period is from the end of June to the next eight months, that is, 65438+ 10. Passion fruit weighs 80-120g, and the average yield of fruit trees in that year can reach 30kg. ?

Passion fruit juice has good color, fragrance, taste and nutrition, and is rich in 17 amino acids and 160 vitamins, trace elements and other beneficial components, and is suitable for making fruit juice, jelly, sherbet, jam and other products.

Passion fruit has the effects of diminishing inflammation, relieving pain, promoting blood circulation, strengthening body constitution, lowering blood lipid and blood pressure, nourishing yin and tonifying kidney, refreshing oneself, relieving fatigue, expelling toxin, caring skin and enhancing immunity. The mechanism is as follows:

1, deep cleaning mechanism: superfine fiber can penetrate into the smallest part of the stomach and intestines, absorb harmful substances in the body through its active genes and completely discharge them, and improve the composition of intestinal flora, thus playing a barrier role in protecting the stomach from absorbing harmful substances. Passion fruit can inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms in the digestive tract. The combination of passion fruit and passion fruit has a significant effect on eliminating toxins in the body, regulating the intestine, strengthening the stomach and improving the body's nutrient absorption function, and has a special elimination effect on colitis, gastroenteritis and hemorrhoids.

2. Detoxification and beauty-care mechanism: Purify the body, avoid the deposition of harmful substances in the body, and then achieve the effect of improving skin and beauty beauty.

3, body shaping mechanism: eating passion fruit can increase the satiety of the stomach, reduce the intake of waste heat, and also absorb organic molecules such as cholesterol and bile, inhibiting the body's absorption of fat. Therefore, long-term consumption is conducive to improving the nutritional absorption structure of the human body, reducing body fat and shaping a healthy and beautiful posture.

4. Promote metabolism: Microfiber can promote excretion, relieve constipation symptoms, remove irritating substances stuck in the intestine, and avoid stimulating the intestine and being reabsorbed by the human body, thus reducing the incidence of colon cancer. Microfiber also has anti-tumor activity. VC in passion fruit participates in cholesterol metabolism, which can lower cholesterol and purify blood. In addition, passion fruit is rich in VC, carotene and SOD enzyme, which can scavenge free radicals in the body and play a role in skin care and anti-aging.

How to eat: (1)? Direct Fresh Eating: Cut the passion fruit, dig out the pulp with a spoon and eat it directly (the seeds are edible and rich in high-grade protein and high-grade fat). ⑵? Making juice: Take a passion fruit, cut it, scoop the pulp into a cup with a spoon, add 200ml of water, add a little sugar to adjust the sweetness, and stir to get a cup of nutritious juice with good color and fragrance. If you use a juicer to stir for a few seconds, the effect will be better. Ice water in summer, warm water in winter and a few drops of honey taste better. ⑶ Shell can be used not only to extract pectin, medicinal components and processed feed, but also to soak wine, make tea and stir fry.

Passion fruit juice beverage is made of pure fresh fruit pulp, and its density is different from that of natural superfine fiber. It is a normal physical phenomenon that the fruit pulp will be layered after standing for a period of time, which has no effect on the quality. After the ripe passion fruit is harvested and stored for a period of time, the shell will be sunken, but the pulp inside will be sweeter.

Breeding?

Key points of propagation and cultivation:

Passion fruit basically has the same temperature requirements as ordinary tomatoes, and has wide adaptability, so it is suitable for planting in the north and south (the north needs to overwinter in a greenhouse, and the south needs to be covered with cold protection before the frost period at an altitude of 1400m, so as to overwinter safely, otherwise the upper part and lateral branches of the main stem will freeze to death, or even the whole plant will freeze to death). ?

1, planting? Passion fruit should be planted in February-March every year. The economic cultivation cycle of passion fruit is generally 4-5 years. After harvesting in the fifth year, the old plants will be cut down and completely renewed. Because passion fruit is a tropical fruit, it is easy to be infected with virus after continuous cropping, which reduces the yield and quality. In order to reduce the harm of virus infection to passion fruit, it is best to update and plant virus-free healthy seedlings every year. ?

① planting distance? Passion fruit is a vine fruit tree with long branches, so the row spacing is 3 meters, the plant spacing is 3-3.5 meters, and there are about 70 species per mu. The row spacing of single-row hedgerow cultivation is 1.7- 1.8m, and the plant spacing is 3.5-4m, about 0/00 plants per mu. ?

2 planting methods? According to the predetermined row spacing and plant spacing, dig a planting ditch with a width of 60 cm and a depth of 20-30 cm, first put mixed compost or other soil miscellaneous fertilizers, and at the same time add 0.25 kg of phosphorus +0. 15-0.25 kg of compound fertilizer to each plant, and then pile up and plant. After the plant survives, the axillary buds should be removed at any time, leaving only the terminal buds of the main vine and tying the main vine to the post. ?

2. scaffolding? In the process of passion fruit planting, scaffolding must be set up for management and harvesting. There are many forms of scaffolding. At present, there are mainly horizontal scaffolding and single-line fence scaffolding. The single-row fence frame column is 2.3 meters high, set between plants and implanted about 30 centimeters underground. Pull two lines per column 12. ?

3. Trim? After the passionflower is planted, it is necessary to set up a column at the seedling stage and lure the main vine into the shed. When the main vine grows to 1 m high, cut off the terminal bud and let it grow lateral vines, leaving two lateral vines on each side to grow in different directions. When the lateral vine grows to 2 meters, the top of the lateral vine should be cut off to promote the growth of the secondary lateral vine. In the case of horizontal trellis cultivation, when the main vine reaches the trellis, the lateral vine should grow evenly in all directions. ? Don't cut passion fruit any more, you don't need to cut it hard every year. If it is excessively pruned, the main vine will wither gradually, and the whole plant will die in severe cases. Generally, after each batch of fruits is harvested, each lateral vine should be shortened by 3-4 segments to promote its re-growth. At the same time, it is necessary to prune the branches that grow too densely in summer every year, or cut off the branches that droop and extend to the ground, about 20-30 cm from the ground, in order to maintain good ventilation. ?

4. fertilization? The fertilization principle of passion fruit is that the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is 2- 1-4, and excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer is prohibited. In order to promote early growth and rapid growth, spray twice 7 days after planting, with an interval of 7 days, and water 60 kg per package. The fruit expands rapidly within 15 days after flowering, so the management of fertilizer and water should be strengthened, especially the application of potassium fertilizer to promote the rapid expansion of the fruit. ? 5. Water management? Passion fruit is drought-tolerant, but in case of drought, irrigation is still needed. Too dry soil will affect the development of vines and fruits. In severe cases, branches will wither, fruits will not develop and fruit will drop. Pay attention to drainage in rainy season. ?

Look at the application?

Passion fruit is a kind of fruit mainly used for juicing. Mature fruit contains more than 30% juice. ? Its juice is bright in color, and its natural color is between lemon yellow and orange yellow. Its rich fragrance combines the fragrance of tropical and subtropical fruits such as guava, pineapple, mango and banana, and is known as the king of juice. Passion fruit can also be made into sherbet, ice cream, jam, jelly, fruit wine and other processed products. ?

Passion fruit is rich in 17 kinds of amino acids, vitamins, carotenoids and trace elements needed by human body, with soluble solids 15- 16% and total acid content of 3.8-4%, with moderate sweetness and sourness. Regular consumption of egg fruit and its processed products has the effects of helping digestion, resolving phlegm, treating kidney deficiency, refreshing the brain, promoting blood circulation, strengthening the body, calming and relieving pain, lowering blood pressure and lowering blood fat, etc. ?

Home mode:?

Passion fruit peel gradually changes color 60-80 days after flowering, naturally matures and falls off the ground, and can be picked up on the ground when harvesting. The unripe fruit with green peel on the vine is not suitable for harvesting, because the ripe unripe fruit has high acidity, low fragrance and green smell, which affects the quality of juice. Passion fruit mainly collects pulp and makes juice. Fruit juice can be diluted with water to make drinks, and can also be used as an additive for cakes, ice cream and other desserts. ?

Conservation and pests?

Pest control:

Passion fruit itself has fewer pests and diseases, and some pests and diseases are more harmful, mainly caused by the migration and infection of pests and diseases on nearby hosts, mainly thrips, fruit flies, rice green stinkbug and so on.
