How to increase Red lady papaya yield and what problems should be paid attention to in papaya planting
The nutrient solution contained in papaya is very rich, and the economic benefits are considerable, and it is deeply loved by customers. So what issues should fruit farmers pay attention to when planting papaya? How to increase production
1. Seed selection
Although the adaptability of papaya is relatively strong, it can be planted in most areas of our country, but if you want high yield, you need to choose the soil that is suitable for its growth and choose the more resistant varieties. We generally choose to plant in sandy soil with good sunlight, sufficient soil fertility and relatively loose soil. When selecting seeds, we should choose the best according to the local climate environment.
2. Soil preparation and fertilization
The planting of papaya is basically planted in pieces, which is conducive to the mutual pollination of papaya and increase the yield. Therefore, the planting will be selected in the same area. When preparing the land, we need to deep plow the soil once and then sprinkle it. Enough fertilizer is used as the base fertilizer, and the method of spreading the base fertilizer is generally to put an appropriate amount of farmyard manure in each cave where papaya needs to be planted.
3. Planting density
In order for papaya to grow better, photosynthesize and condense sugar, the planting density must be scientific and reasonable. The planting experts said that the density of papaya planting is related to the topography of the planting. Normal terrain is usually planted at intervals of up to 80 cm. In mountainous areas where the fertility is not very fertile, it is usually separated by two or three meters. The more fertile areas are four or five meters away, so as to ensure the growth space and light it needs for papaya.
4. Park management
The general fertilization is from late March to early April. This time it is mainly to promote plant growth, so urea and ternary compound fertilizer are applied. Fertilization is required until two weeks before and two weeks after the flowering of papaya. The method of fertilization is spray fertilization. The mixture of urea, calcium phosphate and potassium sulfate is sprayed together, which can cause the fruit cells to divide; in order to improve Fruit setting rate, so we can spray boric acid or borax during the blooming period. At the same time, we must also pay attention to the control of water in the garden. Generally, it needs to be watered once during the flowering period. Secondly, it is watered once when the fruit grows. However, there should not be too much water in the papaya field, so we must Drain the excess water in time. If there are too many fruits after the fruit is set, the fruits will naturally fall off. Therefore, we must knock down some of the stunted fruits before they fall off to reduce the loss.
5. Disease control
Papaya usually has powdery mildew occasionally. The prevention and control method for powdery mildew is actually very simple. Because this disease is very common and most crops will get sick, it is usually sprayed with 1500 times fenpirin. The second is blast disease, and the solution is to spray with a 600-fold solution of carbendazim.
6. Harvesting method
The ripening season of papaya is generally July and August in summer. When the papaya skin changes from the original green to yellow-green, it means that the papaya is ripe and ready to be harvested. It should be harvested on a sunny day. Don 't let the papaya fall directly from the tree to the ground at this time, otherwise it will damage the fruit and cause completely unnecessary losses.
