Agricultural technology for growing Pear seeds
Pear (Pyrus communis) is a deciduous tree that belongs to the Rosaceae family. Pear is a valuable fruit crop that produces fruits with a pleasant taste and aroma.
Pear grows in temperate climates. She prefers moderate, humid weather with plenty of sunny days.
1. Variety selection
When choosing a pear variety, the following factors must be taken into account:
- Purpose of cultivation: For cultivation as a fruit crop, varieties with high yield and good quality of fruit are selected.
- Winter hardiness: Some pear varieties can tolerate short-term frosts, while others require shelter for the winter.
2. Soil preparation
The pear 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 pears must be fertile and neutral or slightly acidic.
3. Landing
Pears are planted in the spring, when the threat of frost has passed.
Pears are planted in planting holes with a depth and diameter of 60-70 cm. A layer of drainage made of broken brick or crushed stone is poured into the planting hole, then a layer of fertile soil. Pears are planted so that the root collar is at soil level. After planting, pears are watered abundantly.
4. Plant care
Pear is an unpretentious plant, but to get a good harvest the following measures must be taken:
- Watering: Pear is a moisture-loving plant, so during the growing season it is necessary to regularly water the plants, especially in hot weather.
- Fertilizing: 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.
- Pruning: To form the crown of the pear, pruning is carried out. Pruning is carried out in the spring, before the buds open.
- Protection from pests and diseases: Pear is susceptible to various diseases and pests. To protect plants from pests and diseases, it is necessary to carry out preventive treatments.
5. Harvest
The pear begins to bear fruit 3-4 years after planting. Pear fruits ripen in September-October. The ripening of pear fruits is determined by their characteristic color and softness. Pear fruits are harvested by hand, cutting them off with the stem.
6. Diseases and pests
Pear is susceptible to the following diseases:
- Cercospora
- Powdery mildew
- Scab
Pear is susceptible to the following pests:
- Aphids
- Pear moth
- Pear weevil
Additional Tips
- To obtain an earlier harvest, pears can be grown as seedlings. Pear seedlings are grown at home or in greenhouses.
- To increase the yield of pears, you can grow them in beds mulched with straw or sawdust.
To obtain a good harvest, it is necessary to follow the agricultural techniques for growing pears.
