Agricultural technology for growing cherry seeds
Sweet cherry is a stone fruit that belongs to the Rosaceae family. Cherry is a valuable fruit tree that produces fruits with a pleasant taste and aroma.
Cherries grow in a variety of climate zones, but they grow best in regions with warm, humid climates.
1. Variety selection
When choosing a cherry variety, the following factors must be taken into account:
- Purpose of cultivation. For cultivation as a fruit tree, varieties with high yields and good quality fruits are selected.
- Winter hardiness. Some varieties of cherries can tolerate short-term frosts, while others require protection from the cold.
- Resistance to diseases and pests. Some cherry varieties are more resistant to diseases and pests than others.
2. Soil preparation
Cherry is a light-loving and moisture-loving plant, so to grow it you need to prepare a sunny and well-drained place.
The soil for planting cherries must be fertile and neutral or slightly alkaline.
3. Landing
Cherry seedlings are planted in the spring, when the threat of frost has passed.
Seedlings are planted in planting holes with a depth and diameter of 60-70 cm. A drainage layer of broken brick or crushed stone is poured into the planting hole, then a layer of fertile soil. The seedlings are planted so that the root collar is at soil level. After planting, the seedlings are watered abundantly.
4. Plant care
Cherry is an unpretentious plant, but to get a good harvest the following measures must be taken:
- Watering. Cherry is a moisture-loving plant, so it is necessary to water the plants regularly during the growing season. Water the plants 2-3 times a week, using 10-15 liters of water per 1 m².
- Feeding. During the period of active plant growth, 2-3 fertilizing with mineral fertilizers is carried out. The first feeding is carried out in the phase of 3-4 true leaves, the second - in the flowering phase, the third - in the fruiting phase.
- Trimming. To form the crown of the cherry tree, pruning is carried out. Pruning is carried out in the spring, before the buds open.
- Protection from pests and diseases. Cherries are susceptible to various diseases and pests. To protect plants from pests and diseases, it is necessary to carry out preventive treatments.
5. Harvest
Cherries ripen in June-July. The ripening of cherries is determined by yellowing and shedding of the stalks. Cherries are harvested by hand, carefully cutting off the fruit with the stalk.
Some tips for growing cherries
- To obtain an earlier harvest, cherries can be grown as seedlings. Cherry seedlings are grown at home or in greenhouses.
- To increase the yield of cherries, you can grow them next to other crops that repel pests.
If you follow the agricultural techniques for growing cherries, you can get a good harvest of tasty and healthy fruits.
