Agricultural technology for growing Ailanthus seeds
Acacia poplar (Ailanthus altissima) is a deciduous tree native to Asia. The plant is known for its fast growth rate and unpretentiousness.
1. Choosing a landing site
Poplar acacia is a light-loving plant that needs 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. The plant also tolerates partial shade well. Poplar acacia does not tolerate drafts and strong winds.
2. Soil
Poplar acacia prefers fertile, well-drained soils with a neutral or slightly alkaline reaction. Before planting, it is necessary to dig the soil to a depth of 20-30 cm and add organic fertilizers (humus, compost, peat).
3. Landing
Poplar acacia can be planted by seeds, cuttings or seedlings.
Sowing seeds: Seeds are sown in open ground in spring, when the soil temperature reaches +10 °C. The seeding depth is 2-3 cm. The seeding rate is 20-30 seeds per 1 m².
Cuttings: Cuttings are cut at the beginning of summer and planted in a greenhouse or greenhouse. Rooting occurs within 2-3 weeks.
Planting seedlings: Seedlings are planted in open ground in spring or autumn. Seedlings are planted at a distance of 2-3 m from each other.
4. Caring for poplar acacia
Watering: Poplar acacia needs regular watering, especially in hot weather. It is necessary to water the plant abundantly, without allowing the soil to dry out.
Feeding: Poplar acacia does not require regular feeding. However, organic fertilizers (humus, compost, peat) can be used as fertilizing.
Pruning: Poplar acacia does not require pruning. However, it can be carried out to form the crown of a tree. Pruning is carried out in spring or autumn.
Diseases and pests: Poplar acacia is relatively resistant to diseases and pests. However, in some cases, the plant may be attacked by the following pests:
- Spider mite: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
- Aphids: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to become deformed and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
5. Reproduction
Poplar acacia is propagated by seeds, cuttings or layering.
Seed propagation: Seed propagation is carried out in the spring.
Cuttings: Cuttings are carried out throughout the growing season.
Layering: Layering can be done in spring or autumn.
Poplar acacia is used for landscaping parks, gardens and other areas. The plant is also well suited for growing in containers.
