Digging the perfect pit for planting
After choosing the planting distance and planting pattern, you can dig pits in predetermined places, the time of digging the pit can be parallel to the time of planting seedlings or a few weeks before planting seedlings so that the soil decomposes well.
The depth and width of the pit should be proportional to the size of the roots, the type of seedling and the texture of the soil. Deep pits should be avoided because the deeper layers of the soil have an inappropriate texture, but usually the depth of the pit for planting seedlings is between 70 -100 is cm.
Disinfection of seedlings
One of the important measures is to disinfect the seedlings, for this purpose, before planting, the roots of the seedlings should be carefully checked to determine if there are signs such as dryness, blackness, withering, deformation, withering and pests. Is there damage between the secondary and main roots of the seedling or not? These roots can be pruned with gardening shears.
After pruning the roots, it is time to disinfect them. For this purpose, the roots can be disinfected with the help of pralinage solution. To prepare this solution, you need the following ingredients: 10 liters of water + 1 kg of clay + 1 kg of decomposed and sieved animal manure + 300 grams of fungicide such as iprodione or methyl thiophanate + 200 grams of mycorrhizal fungi + 10 grams of phosphorus fertilizer Mix together.
How to plant the proper seedling
Now that you have dug a suitable hole and disinfected the roots of the seedlings, it is time to plant the seedlings, for this first put some rotted animal manure in the bottom of the hole and place the seedlings directly in the center hole. The roots should be inserted into the pit without damage and its crown should be 10 cm above the soil level to prevent rotting of the crown and roots of the seedling due to irrigation.
After placing the seedlings in the center of the pit, Fill it with suitable soil and compact the soil around the collar with a shovel or foot so that the seedlings settle well in the soil and minimize the amount of soil subsidence during irrigation. In order to prevent seedlings from breaking and getting damaged in wind and rain, you can use a guardian during the period of planting seedlings.
Pruning of seedlings
After planting fruit seedlings, in order to form a suitable skeleton for better fruiting in the next year, the seedlings are usually removed at a distance of 80 to 100 cm. Of course, the appropriate height for planting saplings depends on the type of fruit seedling, and for this purpose, it is better to consult with an experienced agricultural engineer in the nursery.
Seedling irrigation
In general, seedling irrigation depends on the climatic conditions of the region, the amount of rainfall in the region, the irrigation method, the type of soil and the type of seedling. The heavier the soil texture, the less watering the seedlings need.
Seedling fertilization
Newly planted seedlings also need fertilization for good growth. have In general, two types of fertilizers can be used to strengthen the seedlings, the first category of fertilizers are those that supply elements needed by the plant, such as triple superphosphate fertilizers, and the second category are soil amendment fertilizers. But in general, fertilizers with high phosphorus should be used. , because it helps the seedlings to take root better.
The method of fertilizing seedlings depends on the type of fertilizer, it is better to use fertilizers that dissolve easily in water so that the seedlings absorb them easily. produce extra roots and leaves in a short period of time.
