How to Plant Passion Fruit
For netizens to elaborate on how to plant passion fruit and the contents of passion fruit sowing methods and timing in the aspect of green plants and flowers, let's learn about it together.
Passion fruit is originally produced in tropical regions. After being introduced to our country, it is deeply loved by people for its soft and sweet taste and high edible value. So far, there have been a large number of passion fruit planting bases. The planting of passion fruit and its later maintenance management will affect the yield and quality. Next, I will specifically discuss from six aspects: time selection, planting site selection, planting methods, and water management, fertilization management, disease and pest control.
1. Time Selection
The planting time of passion fruit is more suitable in spring, around the前夕 of Qingming Festival. During this period, the temperature is moderate and gradually warming up, which allows passion fruit to adapt to the environment.
2. Planting Site Selection
Before formal planting, it is necessary to choose the most suitable land for it. Generally speaking, passion fruit has a relatively strong adaptability to the soil. The soil should be fertile and have certain breathability, and the planting site should be able to receive sufficient sunlight.
3. Planting Methods
Farmers must pay attention to choosing high-quality varieties when planting. If diseased or weak seedlings are purchased, it will greatly affect the later fruits.
Then, the formal planting can begin. The planting distance should not be too close, maintaining a reasonable layout. Dig good planting trenches, pour in soil mixed with fertilizer, and also apply 0.3 kilograms of compound fertilizer to each seedling. After planting, water the roots of each plant to keep the root soil moist. If conditions permit, biological stimulants can also be selected to promote plant growth and effectively prevent diseases and pests.
Once the plant has survived, it is necessary to observe the growth of lateral buds, trim them in time to ensure sufficient nutrients for the top buds on the main vine. After the vines grow, wrap them around the trellis to assist the branches in growing along the trellis.
4. Water Management
Passion fruit has a certain drought resistance, but in order to ensure its fruit yield and quality, the annual precipitation in the planting area should not be less than 1200mm. If there is little rainfall and it is dry, it is necessary to water in time. In the rainy season, it is necessary to take drainage measures to prevent water accumulation from damaging the passion fruit roots.
5. Fertilization Management
Fertilization is an indispensable part of later management. Only sufficient nutrients can ensure the healthy growth of passion fruit, with nitrogen fertilizer as the main fertilizer. About half a month before flowering, start controlling nitrogen and can add some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote root growth. When passion fruit reaches the critical period of fruit preservation and coloring, some foliar fertilizers need to be sprayed to effectively improve the fruit quality of passion fruit.
6. Disease and Pest Control
Common diseases of passion fruit include sudden collapse, anthracnose, etc.; common pests include thrips, red spiders, etc. It is necessary to clean the orchard in time, especially after pruning, the fallen branches and leaves should be collected and destroyed. When diseases and pests occur, buy targeted drugs for control.
The above is a detailed introduction on how to plant passion fruit and the methods and timing of passion fruit sowing. Have you understood it?
