Winter is coming, how to protect citrus in low temperature environment?

With the arrival of winter, a wave of cold weather swept across the country. In winter, people and all kinds of wild animals will feel cold. People wear clothes when they are cold, and animals hibernate when they are cold. What should I do if the citrus tree gets cold? Of course not. You should take corresponding measures to protect your citrus trees in time, otherwise you won't have a good harvest next year.

So how should citrus trees keep warm and cold? Compared with adult citrus, newly cultivated citrus seedlings need more cold tolerance and warmth. If you want to keep warm and cold, the best way for seedlings is to cultivate soil. Cover the saplings with most soil, only a few tips are exposed. If the weather forecast says there will be rain and snow next, you can also get some sunshade nets on your seedling pier to cover it. Wait until the soil temperature gradually rises next year, and then open the net cover.

After talking about how seedlings are cold-proof, let's take a look at how adult citrus trees are cold-proof.

From the middle of1February, it is suggested that fruit farmers should not always break ground and fertilize. Otherwise, it will greatly affect the cold tolerance of citrus trees. When applying fertilizer, try to choose liquid fertilizer, and apply fertilizer together with watering. Don't break ground if you can. Wait until next spring and add fertilizer again in the middle and late February.

Winter is coming, how to protect citrus in low temperature environment? The key depends on the following points.

Don't think that pests and diseases will rest in winter like you. These hidden dangers that harm citrus trees emerge one after another all year round. Not only should the dead branches on the crown be cut off in time, but also pests and diseases should be eliminated, and those immature late autumn shoots should be eliminated. Thoroughly disinfect the orchard with sulfur mixture and Bordeaux mixture, and completely eliminate those pests that can survive the winter.

It is also important to water the fruit trees in time. Only by keeping the soil moist can the trees get enough water, which can not only keep the trees alive in winter, but also prevent the cold wind from freezing the trees. After all, the winter climate is cold, there is little rainfall, and there is quite little moisture in the air. If not handled correctly, trees can easily dry and freeze. However, dry freezing will do great harm to trees. If it is not handled properly, the fruit output will be greatly reduced next year. It may even freeze citrus trees directly.

Spraying foliar fertilizer twice on the crown of citrus trees can effectively restore the tree vigor. Moreover, in order to prevent the sudden drop of temperature, it is necessary to make an emergency plan for large-scale antifreeze. All kinds of black sunshade nets and sawdust should be prepared.

I believe that after reading this article, you should know something about how citrus trees can prevent cold in winter. Finally, I wish you all a good harvest in the coming year.
