Can sugar orange be sprinkled with water if there is a drought during the coloring period? What do you think?

Sugar orange has entered the color change period, and it is not recommended to water it when experiencing drought.

When sugar orange enters the color change period, whether it is drought or continuous rainy weather, it is not conducive to normal color change. Therefore, during this period, if the drought and rain can be moderate, that is to say, the weather must be smooth. Continuous rainy weather will cause the soil to be too wet, which will easily stimulate the roots to absorb nitrogen. Excessive nitrogen will affect the decomposition of chlorophyll, reduce the speed of color change, and may also cause floating skin. If you encounter drought, the corresponding light will be sufficient, which can promote the synthesis of carotenoids and facilitate the normal progress of color change. However, lack of water is not conducive to the transformation of chloroplasts into chromoplasts and affects the color change process. In this case, fruit farmers must of course solve the drought through artificial watering. However, the method of watering is particular.

It is particularly important to emphasize here that when sugar oranges enter the color change period and encounter drought, watering cannot be used. Such operations will have negative consequences. First, water spraying causes water to directly contact the fruit, which can easily cause fruit cracking; second, it can stimulate the secondary growth of the peel, leading to the formation of floating skin.

So, what is the correct way to water?

What is the correct watering method that should be adopted when sugar oranges encounter drought during the color changing period?

Personally suggest that qualified fruit farmers can use this method when drought occurs during the color changing period of sugar oranges? The irrigation method of Baoma Shui is to irrigate and drain at the same time. You can water in the evening and drain in the morning. Try to keep the air, soil and water cool. This can solve the drought situation, use moderate water stress to promote the normal progress of fruit sugar accumulation and color change, and can also avoid negative effects such as fruit cracking caused by watering.

Use color-changing agents with caution during the color-changing period of Sugar-Tangerines

The color-changing period of Sugar-Tangerines has arrived. I know that fruit farmers will use some color-changing agents in order to achieve rapid market launch and occupy the market. Of course, I personally don’t object to the use of color-changing agents, but you must use them with caution and do not blindly choose hormone-containing color-changing agent products on the market. Because these color-changing agents can achieve the goal of "fast color change and good effect" in a short time, however, the sugar content inside the fruit is insufficient, causing the fruit's sweetness to greatly decrease, the taste to become worse, and the color of the fruit after color change is also lacking. The depth and quality are also not good, which undoubtedly detracts from our own sugar oranges.

I hope my answer can help you.
