New Technology for the Management of Baitangpeng Litchi

Baitangpeng lychee , also known as Honey Sugar Peng and Chinese Red, is the sweetest variety of lychee. It has a thin skin that is easy to peel, a small core and thick flesh. The flesh is crisp, sweet and juicy. It can be called the best fruit. Let's talk about the new management technology of Baitangpeng lychee.

‌1. Soil management

Choose soil that is fertile, loose and well-drained, which is conducive to the healthy growth of the plants. Renovate the soil before planting and add a small amount of compound fertilizer to increase the nutrient content of the soil.

2. Fertilization management

During the rapid growth stage of litchi, a mixture of nitrogen-based compound fertilizer and organic fertilizer is used to promote the healthy growth of litchi. During the flowering and fruiting period, a mixture of compound fertilizers mainly composed of phosphorus and potassium and potassium sulfate is used to meet the nutritional needs of litchi growth.

‌3. Pest and disease control‌

Provide water to the plants in time, control the amount of water, keep the soil moist, and avoid excessive watering which may cause root rot. At the same time, pay attention to spraying pesticides to prevent and control diseases and pests, especially during the growth of young fruits, pay attention to spraying pesticides to prevent and control pests such as litchi stalk borers, and prevent the activities of litchi stink bug nymphs, and spray pesticides to kill them in time.

‌4. Pruning and maintenance‌

Pruning and trimming the plants' leaves in a timely manner will concentrate nutrients on plants with strong branches and good growth, which will help increase litchi yield and quality. Prune diseased branches, dead branches, and branches and leaves infested with diseases and insect pests, and deal with them promptly and centrally to prevent other branches and leaves from being infected with diseases.

‌5. Control shoots and promote flowering‌

When caring for litchi, artificial shoot control and flowering promotion are carried out, usually in November, through methods such as ring cutting to extend the flowering period and increase the fruit setting rate.
