How do chestnuts grow?

Chestnut is palatable when eaten fresh, and cooked food and soup are good. It is also the raw material for processing some cakes and sweets, which has a wide range of uses and high economic value. In addition, chestnut is relatively stable in heredity and well cultivated. Basically, one plant (grafted seedling) is planted every year, which benefits many years after two years of management. It is a cash cow for rural areas to get rid of poverty quickly and become rich.

The basic points of chestnut planting are as follows:

A, pumping soil trough (or dig planting pit):

The purpose is to dig deep into the soil, exchange raw soil with cooked soil, and then add organic fertilizer at the bottom of planting ditch (or planting pit) to improve the growth environment of chestnut root system.

2. Transplanting clean seedlings and watering them with rooting water;

Dwarf crown grafted seedlings can be planted with 1 10 plants per mu, and the planting density is 55-56 plants per mu in other cases. After planting, backfill and water the foot roots in time to enter the daily management.

Third, the field soil fertilizer and water management and pest control after transplanting:

Attention should be paid to the harm of weeds to chestnut seedlings in the year of planting. Prevent weeds from competing with seedlings for glory, water and fertilizer. In order to meet the needs of vegetative growth and crown expansion of chestnut seedlings, available nitrogen fertilizer should be applied in time according to the growth of chestnut in the field during the seedling growth period.

Water the horse racing in time when the weather is dry. Chemical control should be carried out in time to control all kinds of pests and diseases and reduce the harm of all kinds of pests and diseases to chestnut seedlings.

Fourth, according to the standards of early fruiting, high yield and high quality, plastic pruning is carried out:

Take the natural type as the chestnut tree structure. Then, according to the branching situation of chestnut seedlings, the primary branch, secondary branch and tertiary branch are cultivated with the tree, and so on. Through artificial means such as pruning in summer, the crown and fruiting branches of main branches of chestnut can be cultivated quickly, and a tree-like frame structure with high and stable yield can be formed as soon as possible.

Tips: In the early stage of chestnut planting, it is only put into production. In order to make up for economic losses, many fruit farmers will interplant short-stem cash crops in the field to increase their income. The benefit of interplanting is not only to increase income, but also to manage the soil, fertilizer and water of chestnut seedlings, killing two birds with one stone. But we can't interplant tall crops such as corn and climbing crops such as cucumber and green beans.
