Cultivation and Care of Fruit Crop

Cultivation and Care of Fruit Crop

Caring:

Cultivation can be done to shape the fruit tree as per the norms. Doing so increases the size of the fruit as the distribution of nutrients in all the branches becomes symmetrical due to exposure to more sunlight and air.  If the fruit tree is given a certain type of training from the beginning, then the shape, size, size, etc. of the tree can be obtained as expected.

Issues to keep in mind for caring:

(1) The trunk of the fruit tree is 60 to 70 cm from the ground.  Keep upright and              without branches.

(2) Do not keep more than one branch out of one place in the tree.

(3) Keep the growth of the tree balanced on all sides.

Methods of caring:

Different methods are adopted for training in fruit trees.  The different methods of education adopted in different crops are briefly given below.

(1) Anterior central vertebrae : In this vertebrae, the top growth of the trunk is allowed to continue.

(2) Decentralized method: In this method, the front branch of the trunk is cut by allowing the fruit tree to grow to a height of 1.5 to 1.8 meters.  So that sunlight can reach the inside.

(3) Improved anterior central method: This method combines the above two methods.  The tops are cut off to allow the fruit to grow to a height of 3 to 4 meters.  So that the tree stays strong and the tree gets enough sunlight.

(4) Shrub method: The branches of some fruit trees sprout from the ground so that the shape of the tree naturally looks like a shrub.

(5) Jalli or Telis method: This method is used for vine-like fruiting.  The vines are tied in such a way that one, two or three iron wires come on top of each other.

(6) Mandap method: In this method, wire mesh is made on cement, wood or iron poles or bamboo is arranged and vineyards are planted on it.

(7) Improved porch or telephone system: This is a modern method of cultivating fruit-bearing vines such as vines.  In which two meter wide strips are laid on cement, wood or iron poles on both sides and vines are tied with wire.  This method provides adequate ventilation and sunlight, as well as spraying or fruit picking.

SORTING:

(1) Give a special care of small age plant.

(2) To get more and better quality fruits in adult fruit trees.

(3) The purpose of pruning trees to bring a new look to the aging tree varies according to the age and condition of the tree.  Younger trees are pruned only for training so that the structure of the tree is balanced, the branches are strong and the distance between the two branches is maintained.  Pruning of mature fruit trees is meant to get more and better quality fruits which requires regular pruning of such fruit trees every year.

Types of Manure:

(1) Mild pruning: This type of pruning involves pruning the tops of tree branches.

(2) Mild pruning: This type of pruning involves pruning the tops of tree branches.

(3) Heavy pruning: In this type of pruning the main twigs and thick twigs are cut.  Sometimes the whole tree is cut down from the trunk and grafted on a new foot and renewed.

SORTING RULES :

(1) Cutting the branches by rubbing them in such a way that no milk remains from the joints.

(2) Place the cuttings or cuttings at right angles to minimize injury to the tree.

(3) To cut heavy branches, first cut from below.  Then cutting from the top will not damage the bark of the lower part.

(4) Use sharp tools to keep the cut surface smooth and clean.

(5) Apply bodypaste or other fungicide on the cut surface.

The benefits of pruning:

(1) Tree growth can be maintained.

(2) New vegetative growth can be enhanced in deciduous trees.

(3) Fertility can be increased.

(4) Sorting fruits and flowers reduces the competition for food, sunlight, air and water to get the best quality fruits.

(5) Sorting fruits and flowers reduces the competition for food, sunlight, air and water to get the best quality fruits.

(6) Regular pruning reduces the size of the tree so that the number of trees in the unit area can be kept higher.

Fruits in need of purning:

(1) Crops requiring regular pruning: berry, fig, falsa, grape etc.

(2) Crops requiring pruning for renewal: Mango, Lemon, Guava, Pomegranate, Custard apple, Chiku, Cashew, Amla etc.
