[Cultivation Methods of Phoenix Eye Fruit]
1. Planting
Spring is the best time for planting. The row spacing of the plants should be about 4 meters by 5 meters, with 33 plants per acre. The size of the planting hole should be 80 cm x 80 cm x 60 cm. Organic fertilizers should be the main source, combined with a small amount of chemical fertilizers. Apply basal fertilizer to promote the vigorous growth of seedlings and early fruiting.
2. Field management
Phoenix eye fruit has no strict requirements on soil and has a well-developed root system. It can grow well in infertile and sandy soil, but sandy loam with good drainage and deep soil is the best.
According to the growth habits of Phoenix eye fruit trees, they are resistant to waterlogging but not to drought. Therefore, during the flowering and young fruiting period, watering should be done frequently to keep the soil moist.
Phoenix eye fruit trees have strong sprouting ability. Proper shaping and pruning should be done to remove the upper part of overgrown main branches and promote the sprouting of lateral branches, making the entire tree shape oval, which is beneficial for fruiting and harvesting.
3. Disease and pest control
The main diseases and pests of Phoenix eye fruit trees are anthracnose, root rot, and woodlice damage. Combined with winter fertilization, good garden hygiene and cleanliness should be maintained, and disease-fallen leaves should be collected and burned to reduce sources of infection.
