How to grow kiwi fruit

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It can be seen from the fact that it is mainly distributed in the south that it prefers higher temperatures. Too low temperatures will lead to reduced fruit yields and a poor taste. Specifically, it is good to keep it between 20 and 30 degrees. Fruit trees are not cold-resistant, so you need to be a little careful in winter, especially when planting them in northern regions.

2. Light: Kiwi trees have high requirements for sunlight. Similarly, whether there is sufficient sunlight has a great impact on the yield and quality of the fruit. During the flowering and fruiting periods, special attention should be paid to providing sufficient diffuse light, which will help it bloom and fruit. Only slight shielding is needed when encountering very strong light.

3. Watering: Kiwi fruit prefers an environment with high humidity and has high requirements for water. During rapid growth, flowering and fruiting, the substrate needs to be kept moist. When watering, be careful to avoid the soil being very dry at one moment and very wet at another. A stable water supply will have a great impact on the quality of the fruit.

4. Fertilization: Appropriate amount of fertilizer will also help the growth of kiwi fruit. Generally speaking, fertilization is done three times a year and top dressing is done twice. Before entering winter, winter fertilizer must be applied once.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Generally, the method used is sowing. When choosing a planting site, the main factors to consider include loose soil, proximity to water sources, and deep soil layers, with sandy loam being the best. Then, it is time to select high-quality seeds. After all the preparations are done, it is time to sow the seeds, making sure the spacing between plants is not too small.

2. Pruning: This step is very important. If it is planted in the same year, that is, a relatively young tree, pruning mainly involves leaving three buds at the base, using a light pruning method. If it is a mature tree, generally four to five buds are left, and the overgrown branches need to be pruned back.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: There are many types of diseases, some of which threaten not only the stems and leaves, but also harm the flowers and fruits, such as "damping-off disease" and "damping-off disease". It can be treated with carbendazim and other drugs, and at the same time, fertilizer and water management must be strengthened.

2. Pests: There are many types, such as "leafhoppers", "chafers", "shield scales", etc. Furadan and other drugs can be used to eliminate them.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic and its fruit is a common fruit.

2. Can it be raised at home? Rarely. It is usually grown on a large scale in orchards.
