How to cultivate fertile soil for grape planting
Grapes are a very popular fruit in our daily life, and there are also many varieties. For example, the large Muscat grapes that we often eat are rich in nutrition and have a good taste. With the increasing market demand, more and more people are planting grapes. In the process of grape planting, soil preparation is a basic and important task. So how to prepare fertile soil? Let's find out.
Land Selection
In actual planting, grapes in many producing areas are chosen to be planted near lakesides, seaside, riverbanks, or sandy wastelands and slopes. These places have good ventilation and sunlight, do not easily accumulate water, and the quality of products is often superior to that of low-lying wetlands, mainly characterized by bright color, good taste, high sugar content, and fewer pests.
For sandy wastelands, slopes, and poor soils, green manure crops such as Lespedeza bicolor, herbs, and peas should be planted, and the soil should be improved before planting grapes. In hilly and arid areas or land, soil and water conservation work should be done well. In areas with strong winds and sand, protective forests should be planted for protection. In addition, the soil should be selected with good ventilation and high organic matter content, such as sandy loam and loam.
Land Preparation and Fertile Soil
Fertile soil is the key to achieving high-quality and high-yield. The soil depth must be greater than 60cm, and the organic matter content must be greater than 2%. The ground surface of the grape planting trench should be deeply turned by 20-25cm. After turning, level the soil and finally repair the ridges. When deep plowing, try to minimize damage to large roots. Generally, plants should be left 20 centimeters shallow or not turned. If there is no base fertilizer in autumn, it can also be combined with deep plowing of the ground to apply sufficient base fertilizer.
Hole Planting
Planting is usually done after autumn and before freezing, the earlier the better. According to a row spacing of 2-3m and a plant spacing of 0.5-0.8m, the row spacing is convenient for mechanical spraying. Before planting, cut off the dead stumps and cut the long roots into 20 to 30 centimeters. Then soak in clean water for 24 hours to fully absorb water. When planting, spread the roots of the seedlings around, extend the roots, then cover the soil, making the roots closely combined with the soil.
Reasonable Dense Planting
The planting density should be determined based on local climate, natural conditions, variety characteristics, and trellis type. In the north where it is necessary to bury the soil for frost prevention, greenhouses, small greenhouses, and T-type trellises are often used, with a row spacing of about 6 meters or 7 meters. In small greenhouse planting, the hole spacing is 1-2m, with 2 plants or 3-4 plants per hole, 1 plant per vine, and 1 plant at the top of the vine.
Generally speaking, no matter what variety of grapes is planted and where, soil improvement is the primary task, followed by seedling selection and planting management. However, preparing fertile soil before planting is very important. Providing a good growing environment for grapes is a necessary foundation for high-quality and high-yield.
