Litchi Planting Technology in Guizhou

1. Soil improvement

The soil needs to be improved before planting litchi, mainly including deep plowing, thickening the soil layer, increasing organic matter and other steps. This can improve soil fertility and promote the growth of litchi.

2. Planting

Litchi trees can be planted by hole sowing. The hole should be one meter long, wide and high. Apply sufficient base fertilizer before planting. Apply about 200 kilograms of human and animal manure to each hole. After planting, water the hole sufficiently to allow the trees to take root. Pay attention to later maintenance.

3. Post-management

In the early stage of flower bud differentiation, litchi trees need to be provided with an appropriate amount of water, which is conducive to the differentiation of flower buds and prevents the soil from being too dry.
