Cultivation and management of citrus in Quzhou

For information on the cultivation and management of citrus in Sanqu, please refer to "Shuangqiao Essays" of the Qing Dynasty: "The area around Xiazhou, Hangbu, my hometown is made of wood slaves, but it must be watered and pruned, and it is actually beginning to flourish." This is the only account involving citrus cultivation and management in Quzhou, and it briefly explains that the key to orange orchard management is "irrigation and pruning." Nowadays, the citrus sales market is severe, and it is necessary to implement the "three thinning and one modification" technology of citrus to improve the quality and gain a foothold in the market. Because of the characteristics of citrus: 1. It likes light, so there must be a certain distance between trees. 2. The number of ponkans blooming is not too many, but the fruit setting rate is high. The measures to be taken are thinning and pruning of large branches. The purpose is to enable ventilation and light transmission in the orange orchard and improve fruit quality. Three-thinning refers to the method of thinning trees, branches, and fruits to regain high-quality and high yields in the garden and improve the quality and yield of citrus. Fruit thinning is an important means to increase the number of high-quality fruits. Fruits with disease, insect pests and deformed fruits should be thinned out first. The benefits of pruning large branches are considerable.

The promotion of the three-drug and one-renovation technology has rejuvenated the Quzhou Orange District and citrus with a long history, and the yield and quality of citrus have reached a new level. The vast number of citrus farmers need to continue to maintain this good habit in order to win a larger market! Quzhou is known as the "hometown of ponkans in China". The rural economy is based on planting and selling citrus. The "Quzhou Citrus Association" and "Quzhou Citrus Cooperative" are located in the 14th group of immigrants in Guanghuatang Village, Gaojia Town, Qujiang District. They were founded in 2006. On December 1, it was founded by Wu Gentu, the backbone of a large citrus sales company, and has made a great contribution to the economic development of Quzhou and the village!
