The key point of kiwifruit watering is whether you like water or are afraid of flooding?

The key point of kiwifruit watering is to like water and fear waterlogging.

All life activities of kiwifruit are closely related to water. Timely water supply is the main measure to ensure the normal metabolism, high quality and stable yield of kiwifruit. Insufficient or excessive water will cause dead leaves, fallen leaves and root rot, and will also affect the differentiation of flower buds. Trees have less nutrient accumulation and poor drought resistance. By controlling irrigation, the absorption of fertilizer can be promoted and controlled.

The water demand for vigorous growth and expansion of kiwifruit shoots is as large as that of fertilizer, and the flowering period is the most sensitive to water demand. Too much water and too little water are not conducive to flowering and fruit setting.

Matters needing attention in watering kiwifruit

Within more than two months after kiwifruit was set, kiwifruit grew vigorously, and its volume and fresh weight increased rapidly, accounting for about 80% of the final fruit weight. This period is the peak of water demand of kiwifruit, and sufficient water supply can meet the water demand of fruit hypertrophy and promote flower bud differentiation. Irrigation times should be determined according to soil moisture. In the case of continuous sunny days, irrigate 1 time every 3 weeks or so.

Kiwifruit requires less water during dormancy, but irrigation before overwintering is beneficial to the synthesis and transformation of root nutrients and the safe overwintering of plants. In the north, it is generally necessary to water the base fertilizer once before it is frozen.
