When to Plant Grape Seedlings
For netizens, an in-depth explanation of when to plant grape seedlings, as well as the timing and methods of grape seedling cultivation, is provided. Next, our station editor will introduce to everyone.
Grapes are one of the fruits with a long history in the world, loved by many for their refreshing sweet taste, and the planting area is continuously 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 tend to bear fruit earlier than those planted in early spring. The temperature changes in autumn are also relatively small, which can effectively improve the survival rate of grape seedlings. Moreover, planting grape seedlings in autumn can effectively avoid the competition for fertilizer and water between grapes and other crops, ensuring that grape seedlings have sufficient nutrients during growth.
2. Seedling Treatment
Select grape seedlings with well-developed root systems, trim the lateral branches of the grape seedlings to be shorter, and then soak the trimmed grape seedlings in clean water for a day to allow them to absorb water fully. In addition, proper disinfection treatment should be carried out to prevent infection.
3. Mulching with Plastic Film
After planting the grape seedlings, cover the surface with a layer of fine soil and plastic film. This can effectively control the temperature and humidity required for the growth of 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. Initially, nitrogen fertilizer is mainly used to promote the vigorous growth of grape seedlings, and later, 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. In the later stage, it is necessary to prevent downy mildew.
