Pruning is an essential practice for maintaining the health and productivity of peach trees throughout the year. Regular pruning helps balance tree growth, prevents overcrowding, and ensures good air circulation and light penetration, which are crucial for proper flower bud development. After harvesting peaches, it's important to remove crossing, overlapping, diseased, or overly dense branches. Additionally, thinning out bare or empty areas encourages the growth of new shoots, helping the tree fill its space more effectively and increasing fruit production in the following season.
In Qingyuan, a comprehensive approach combining pruning with pest prevention was implemented to maintain a clean orchard environment. Excessively sparse branches were removed from the park to improve overall tree structure. At the same time, several protective sprays were applied: a 6000-times diluted solution of Jinlex, a 12,000-times diluted solution of 40% fruit extract, and a 300-times diluted amino acid solution. These treatments helped protect the trees from potential pests and diseases.
After applying pesticides to prevent re-infestation by pests, the local weather conditions—high temperature and humidity—can create favorable environments for pests to invade. In particular, winged nematodes and red spider mites from nearby vegetable fields and corn paddies often migrate to peach trees for mating and laying eggs. These pests feed on the underside of leaves, causing yellowing and curling, which severely affects tree growth and fruit quality. Therefore, it's crucial to spray the trees in stages after harvest to control these pests effectively.
Once the trees have been properly pruned and treated, it's important to replenish their nutrients. Applying amino acids before the fall leaf drop, along with organic biofertilizers, helps ensure the trees remain healthy and strong through the dormant season, preparing them for the next growing cycle.
