Cape Gooseberry Cultivation Techniques

Cape gooseberry is an annual herbaceous horticultural crop with high yield and economic benefits, and can be planted throughout the country.
First, the capsicum fruit cycle
1, the germination period: from the seed germination to the true leaf buds sprouting stage, from sowing to seed germination grows out of soil, reaching more than 80%, takes about 7 to 15 days.
2. Seedling stage: After the seedlings emerged, 80% of the plants reached three true leaves, that is, about 20 to 30 days before the formation of the first calyx. This period is mainly the growth period of roots, stems, and leaves. Good measures must be taken in production to cultivate young seedlings that grow well and grow, and lay a good foundation for high yield, high quality, and high yield.
3. Flowering period: The number of days from the beginning of the first flower to the last opening of a flower, which is the number of flowering days. The earliest flowering 5% of the first plant is the beginning of flowering, and the month and the day indicate the last flower of the plant, and the date when the berry can fully ripen before the frost is the final flowering period.
4. Result period: The result period is divided into beginning and ending periods. The beginning of the results, that is, the date of sitting fruit after 5% of the plants fell. At the end of the result, it is the date of the flowering fruit of the final flowering period.
5, maturity: berry ripening period, can be divided into maturity phase and maturity phase. During the ripening period, there is a 5% maturity date of the first fruit. The ripening period is the date of the last full ripening of the berries. The cape gooseberry grows from bottom to top. The first flower grows and grows, and the second to fourth flowers have buds, blossoms and results in succession.
Second, the requirements of the lantern fruit on environmental conditions:
1. Temperature: The fruit of the lantern is warm and frost-resistant. Seed germination germinates rapidly at about 30°C; seedling growth period is 20~25°C, and no less than 17°C is suitable for growth at night; flowering results are suitable for 20~25°C during daytime and not less than 15°C at night, otherwise it is easy to cause flower drop and fruit drop. . Temperatures below 10°C stopped plant growth. Plants below 0°C were frozen. After checking, the seedlings are immature in their ability to withstand low temperatures, so they cannot be premature during the open season and must be planted in late frost.
2, light: Cape fruit is more sensitive to light requirements, need plenty of light. In the range of 3,000 to 4,000 meters of candle light, the growth and development are coordinated and the fruit quality is excellent. When the light is insufficient, the plants are long and thin, the yield is reduced, the berries are poorly colored and the taste is not good. Therefore, in the production, we must pay attention to the rationality of planting density and the necessity of cutting, brushing and pruning.
3. Water: Cape gooseberry needs more water, especially in the early stage of berry ripening. The branches and fruits grow at the same time, and the water needs more. When the berry is ripe, it needs to control the water. Therefore, during the lifetime of cape gooseberry, the early stage of hibernation is afraid of water in the early stage and the latter is afraid of water. As a result, the water in the later stage is greedy and prosperous, and the berry ripening period and the harvesting work are delayed. Therefore, attention should be paid to the early stage of production in the production. Watering, pay attention to drainage later.
4. Soil: Cape Gooseberry does not require strict soil, and it can be said that it can be planted on various soils. However, it is best to use sandy soil. The taste of the berry is good, and the yield and commodity rate are high. Cape gooseberry is more salt-tolerant and suitable for soils with a pH of 6.5-7.5. In addition, it is required that the physical properties of the soil be better, the plough layer deep and loose, and the root system easily grow to deep layers.
5. Nutrition: The capsicum is more sensitive to nutritional conditions. If there are too many nitrogen fertilizers in the soil layer, or if the ratio is imbalanced, it will cause the emergence of late-maturing plants and poor fruit quality. Undernutrition, the plants are short and the berries are small, but the coloration is fast, the maturation is early, and the yield is low. Therefore, organic fertilizers should be used as fertilizers to supplement chemical fertilizers. Nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers are predominant in the early growth period, and phosphorus and potash fertilizers are used in the later period to ensure the needs of each period.
Third, nursery: cape gooseberry is the crop of vegetative growth and reproductive growth at the same time, the reproductive period of about 100 days, the need for effective accumulated temperature above 2600 °C. The frost-free period in the north of the Yangtze River is short. In early spring, the climate is cold, and frost, snow, cold, and cold winds are common. Therefore, large and medium-sized greenhouse nursery beds should be used. Southern anti-season cultivation should also protect the nursery.
Strong seedling standards: Appearance is about 5 cm in root length, more than 3 lateral roots, 15-18 cm in seedling height, 0.4 cm in stem diameter, and 4 to 5 true leaves, budding about 20%. Leaves darker, shiny, protects tissue from formation, and is free of pests. Physiological performance is that vegetative bodies are rich in nutrients, bound water, meristems have a new ability, high metabolic levels, the whole plant development balance, adaptability and strong resistance to the cultivation environment, can quickly ease after planting Seedlings, restore growth.
1. Seedling raising methods: mainly use plastic greenhouses or seedlings in middle sheds. Seedbed beds should be located in high-lying, well-drained areas, and use land plots that have not planted eggplant vegetables before. Each hectare requires greenhouses or greenhouse nursery area of ​​80-200 square meters.
2. Bed soil preparation: It does not contain pathogens and pests, and is rich in humus and nutrients that can be supplied. The chemical reaction is neutral, well-structured, loose and not compacted, and there is no field soil with long, residual herbicides. The bed soil should be fully sun-dried, and the fertilizer should be thoroughly cooked, and the fertilizer and soil should be uniform.
3, nutrition soil preparation: Garden field soil: biological organic fertilizer (cape fruit special fertilizer) = 1:1 or 2:1. If the soil viscous weight can be added to 10% fine sand, mix and sifted, use a formalin solution to seal the bactericidal insecticide, open the cool sun for 48 hours, and pile up for use. The bed soil of the sowing bed is generally 6 to 10 cm thick, and the soil bed per square meter needs 100 to 125 Kg of nutritious soil, the bed soil of the transplant bed is generally 12 to 17 cm, and the soil bed per square meter needs 150 to 200 Kg of nutrient soil.
Disinfection of nutrient soils: mix 70% diketosone and 70% thiophanate-methyl chloride 1:1, 1000 times water, and uniformly wet bed soil.
4, soaking: usually with hot water about 50 °C hot 12-15 minutes, then set at room temperature. During the soaking period, warm water of about 30°C is changed every 8 to 10 hours, and the skin is rubbed to remove sticky substances from the skin and soaked for 20 to 24 hours.
5, germination: The germination is the seeds of water swelling, placed at the appropriate temperature, to promote seed germination. Pueraria lumata fruit germination, because the seed is small and the amount is small, generally adopt the fine sand seed dressing method, the amount of fine sand is about 8 to 10 times the amount of seeds (fine sand needs to be disinfected with boiling water), wrap the seed with a damp cloth, at 28- Germination at 30°C. Turn twice a day and wash with warm water, emit a lot of breathing heat, breathing oxygen, eliminate carbon dioxide, continue to germinate after panning. 5-7 days to sprout.
6, sowing:
1 time: mulching film transplanting seedlings, sowing time is generally the choice of when the temperature stability through 5 °C above, the shed temperature of 10 °C above, you can sow.
2 Seeding capacity: sowing 180-200 grams, you can transplant 1 hectare (15 acres).
3 seeding methods: sowing should be selected on a sunny afternoon without wind. Put enough water on the flat bed (paper tube nutrient soil to drench). The depth of the seepage layer of the bottom water is about 6-8 cm. After the water is soaked, sprinkle a thin layer of nutrient soil on the surface of the bed or in the paper tube, and then sow the seeds of the buds with 3 seeds per hole, and then cover the dry soil 0.5 to 1 cm. Cover soil in a timely manner, uniform, covered with a layer of clean plastic film, in order to warm the soil until the seedlings top soil removed.
7, seedling management:
1 Temperature Management: Sealing and heat preservation should be used before emergence, and temperature can be increased to promote the rapid unearthing of seedlings. After the seedlings are unearthed, it is appropriate to use 20 to 28° C. during the day and 14 to 17° C. during the night. Excessive temperatures will cause the leggy seedlings and flower bud quality to deteriorate.
2 Moisture management: Usually watering before seedling after sowing. After the emergence of clear sunny weather, cover once dry fine soil, 0.5 to 1 cm thick, used to seal joints, slow seedlings, as far as possible before transplanting water, according to seedling needs replenishment. On the evening before the transplant, water the seedbed to raise the seedlings.
3 Light management: It should always maintain good light conditions, lack of illumination, decrease of assimilation function, delay of flower bud differentiation, and reduction of flower number; adequate illumination can not only advance the differentiation period of flower buds, but also improve the quality of flower buds, and can maintain a certain degree Nutrition area.
4 seedlings: and time seedlings have a certain nutritional area, is the key to nurturing strong seedlings. Two seedlings in general, the first time the seedlings are carried out when the true leaves are exposed, leaving 2-3 strong seedlings; the second time the seedlings are carried out in 2 or 3 true leaves, leaving 1 strong seedling.
5 Seedlings training and root protection before planting: During the week before planting, seedlings were tempered by appropriate cooling and water control to inhibit shoot growth and promote root development.
Fourth, choose the election:
1. Selection of plots: It is appropriate to plant cape gooseberry with moderate fertility, loose texture, good structure, easy drainage, sheltering from the wind, and thick soil with black oil sand.
2. Selection: The millet and corn are the best crops for the former crop, because they do not have the same disease as the cape gooseberry. They absorb more nitrogen in the soil and have less phosphorus and potassium, which is conducive to early ripening of the cape gooseberry. The grass roots are shallow and have more fibrous roots, which will help improve the soil structure.
3, site preparation: general tillage depth of 25 to 30 cm. Deep plowing promotes soil aggregate structure, improves soil fertility, improves ventilation performance, increases soil temperature, strengthens water storage capacity, and aerobic microorganisms are active, thus decomposing more effective nutrients, which is beneficial to the growth and development of cape gooseberry plants. After the soil is ploughed deeply, the spores, pests, eggs, and weed seeds of the pathogen can be buried in a deeper soil layer, so that weed seeds lose their ability to germinate, and insects, eggs, cockroaches, and part of the weeds in the deep soil can be removed. The roots turn to the surface and freeze to death, reducing the harm of diseases and weeds. At the same time, deep plowing can loosen the soil, which is conducive to the growth of roots and the development of root groups.
4, ridging: Cape fruit to Dalong (Sorghum) cultivation, ridge distance 110 cm. The ridge height is 25-30 cm. Large ridges have thick loose soil cover, which can reduce the evaporation of water; and rain, due to the expansion of the evaporation surface, will help accelerate water dispersion and facilitate drainage and flood prevention; large ridges and small ridges are 1~3°C warmer, which is conducive to the growth of cape gooseberries. development. As the large ridge changes the status of soil water, heat, and gas, it also promotes the release of soil nutrients, making the cape goose fruit develop quickly, and it matures for 3 to 5 days, increasing production by more than 5%.
Fifth, fertilization:
1. Principle of Fertilization: The fertilization principle for capsicum cultivation is “hours of richness and old poverty”. That is: To apply basal fertilizer, diligently apply root fertilizer. Basal fertilizer is mainly nitrogenous fertilizer, supplemented by phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote strong trees; top-dressing fertilizer is mainly applied phosphorus and potassium, supplemented by nitrogenous fertilizer and trace fertilizer to promote early maturation. Base fertilizers and top dressings must be strictly in line with the green pollution-free production standards.
2. Fertilizer amount: The amount of fertilization in the fields of lanterns and fruits should be considered comprehensively based on soil fat, species habits, planting density, and water conservancy conditions. Generally, 150-200 kilograms of organic biofertilizer per mus per day (capita) 2 liters; or according to the local fertilizer source apply fertilizer 1 ton per acre applied fertilizer + 1 kg of bacteria (liters) + 100 kg of plant ash + 25 kg of three-element compound fertilizer or 25 kg of diammonium phosphate.
3. Fertilization method: All the fertilizers and chemical fertilizers that are to be applied are used as base fertilizers, and they are applied when the ridges are applied. Plant a cape goose fertilizer (nickname) every 7-10 days before flowering and fruiting, rooting or spraying at 1 litre per acre; 0.5-1 litre per mu per day after flowering and fruiting Fruit special fertilizer (nickname) to meet the needs of mango fruit later in the fertilizer. There are three benefits: First, quick results; Second, formula fertilization, nutrition; Third, it is not easy to greet late mature. Sixth, colonization
1. Reasonable dense planting: plant 2500-3000 plants per acre with a large row spacing of 110 cm, a small row spacing of 48-50 cm, and a 45 cm spacing.
2, mulching, timely transplanting. In principle, it is nursery before frost and transplanting after frost. The cape gooseberry is a thermophilic crop. If the temperature and the ground temperature are too low during transplanting, the root system will grow slowly, the absorption capacity will be weak, and the seedling period will be prolonged. When the temperature in the depth of 10 centimeters of the soil reaches 10°C and there is a gradual upward trend, transplanting is more appropriate.
VII. Pest Control
1. Zinphos is used to control pods: 15 kg soybeans per hectare, 1 kg of zinc phosphorus, 5 kg of water, and the soybeans are sucked and dried in the liquid, and then sowed in the ground, with 5 to 6 capsules per gram. Apply 10 cm below the base of the root, then cover the soil with a seedling.
2, control tigers: use 5% phoxim EC 1000 times.
