Grapes are one of the fruits with a long history in the world, loved by many people for their sweet and refreshing taste, and the planting area is also constantly expanding. In recent years, more and more farmers have chosen to plant grapes. Next, let's understand how to plant grape seedlings from aspects such as planting time, seedling treatment, mulching with plastic film, water and fertilizer management, and pest control.
1. Planting Time
Generally speaking, the best time to plant grape seedlings is in autumn. Grape seedlings planted in autumn will bear fruit earlier than those planted in early spring. The temperature change in autumn is also relatively small, which can effectively improve the survival rate of grape seedlings. Moreover, planting grape seedlings in autumn can effectively avoid the competition between grapes and other crops for fertilizer and water, ensuring that the grape seedlings have sufficient nutrients during growth.
2. Seedling Treatment
Select grape seedlings with well-developed roots, trim the lateral branches of the grape seedlings shorter, and then soak the trimmed grape seedlings in clean water for a day to allow them to absorb water fully. In addition, it is necessary to carry out disinfection treatment to prevent the seedlings from getting infected.
3. Mulching with Plastic Film
After planting the grape seedlings, cover their surface with a layer of fine soil and plastic film, which can effectively control the temperature and humidity required for the growth of the grape seedlings, promoting better growth and development.
4. Water and Fertilizer Management
Keep the soil moist, reduce the amount and frequency of watering during the growing period; fertilization should be carried out about half a month after the grape seedlings sprout. Nitrogen fertilizer is mainly used in the early stage to promote the vigorous growth of the seedlings, while in the later stage, when the plants are mature, the use of nitrogen fertilizer should be reduced, and more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be used.
5. Pest Control
In the early stage of grape seedling growth, it is important to prevent the occurrence of golden beetles and black spot disease, while in the later stage, it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of downy mildew.
