Areca nut planting process

Since the 1980s, the price of betel nut has soared, which has also prompted many farmers who grow betel nut to get rich returns. Many people take a fancy to its market and want to grow it to make money. Due to the flooding of the market, various betel nut seedlings appeared on the market, with uneven quality. Many friends were tricked into buying inferior seedlings, resulting in low yield. Generally, the reason for the low yield of inferior seedlings is that the growth cycle will be very long, which is also particularly hypocritical to the environment.

Another point is the neglect of management. Even if you get good quality, it may lead to low yield, which has great requirements for your management. When planting, there is no nutrient supplement in the development process, including flowering and fruiting, so the yield will decrease year by year. A normal betel nut tree can blossom and bear fruit in about 50~60 years, and many friends stopped production after planting it for about 20 years. The reason is lack.

Can be cultivated on sloping fields or terraces. The row spacing is about three meters, and it is also possible to cultivate in advance. The land must be fully ploughed and the soil fully weathered. Generally, the pit is about two meters deep and 50 centimeters wide. In the meantime, keep the land moist, because it likes humid environment, so it must not be dry, but water is not easy to accumulate.

First of all, we should maintain its trees, that is, apply a large amount of nitrogen and potassium fertilizers during its germination or opening period, regularly observe the root rot and pathological changes, reduce the spread or deal with them in time. Many farmers only pay attention to harvesting and neglect management, which leads to the short life span and premature aging of their betel nut trees. Therefore, it is necessary to plant trees first to cultivate good trees.

There are many male flowers and few female flowers in its flowering period, so everyone should pay more attention to the management of flowering period at this time. Only by good management can the fruit setting rate be improved. It is necessary to properly fertilize and moisturize the land, but it is not allowed to accumulate water. If you catch up with the rainy season, you should do a good job of drainage and drain the excess water in time, otherwise its roots will rot easily. Only in this way can it maintain its nutritional supply and grow healthily. It will be put into production soon. Generally, the flowering and fruiting period is about 9 months, and different water and fertilizer management should be carried out in different periods to meet the needs of its growth, development and flowering and fruiting. The main fertilizer is organic fertilizer, which can avoid excessive use of chemical fertilizer, causing injury and nutritional imbalance.

After cultivation, it is necessary to pay attention to planting for about 3~4 years, and the roots are shallow and the buds are tender, further protecting the seedlings from the sun and reducing the evaporation of ground water. During the planting period, flying grass or other cash crops can be planted around, as can Chinese herbal medicines, which can effectively prevent the soil from being washed away, keep the land moist and increase benefits. During this period, attention should be paid to weeding and ridging. Weeding should be done frequently when you are young, about 3-4 times a year, and the soil without weeds around should be loose and permeable to ensure growth. At the same time, it should be cultivated and the bare root surface should be buried in the soil. In order to enhance the absorption of water and nutrients by roots, fertilization should be applied 3-4 times a year after planting, the first time at flowering stage and the second time at green fruit stage. The rest is only used once every three years, and the requirements for irrigation and drainage are very, very high. When the rainy season is less, it is necessary to strengthen irrigation water to avoid water accumulation, and drainage should be done well in the rainy season to avoid unnecessary harm caused by bacteria.

Be prepared for cold protection after winter, and no fertilizer is needed. If we don't protect it well, the dead leaves will turn yellow and fall off, and there will be a big wart on the surface. The crown will start to dry up, lose its green color and turn yellow. After the cold winter, we should clean the garden and protect it in advance. Because this is the time when pests and diseases are easy to breed, it is necessary to make preparations in advance, properly water and spray pesticides, and ensure its hibernation after the right amount of fertilizer is in place.

When fertilizing, when the soil is wet, use the side of the plant to fertilize. One plant is about 10g. When 4-5 leaves grow, spray some ammonium sulfate around them. Don't use too much and don't spray it on the leaves, so as not to hurt them.

Planting betel nuts is a technical activity and a patient activity. Don't choose this project if you don't have enough patience.
