Can you grow goji berries in mountainous areas without irrigation?

Goji berries can be grown in mountainous areas without irrigation, and too much drought is not conducive to fruit growth.

The analysis showed that the root system of wolfberry was well developed, the drought resistance was strong, and it could still grow in the arid desert land.

In order to obtain high yields, it is still necessary to ensure the supply of water, especially in the flowering and fruiting period.

Long-term waterlogged low-lying land is not conducive to the growth of wolfberry, and even causes root rot or death.

With sufficient sunlight, the wolfberry branches grow strongly, with many flowers and fruits, large fruits, high yield and good quality.

Goji berries mostly grow in alkaline soils and sandy loam soils, and are most suitable for cultivation on deep, fertile loam soils.

Therefore, it can be cultivated in mountainous areas without water irrigation, but if there is not enough water during the flowering period, it will cause fewer flowers and fruits, or no fruit set.

Temperature management: Goji berries prefer cold climates and are very cold-resistant.

When the temperature is stable through 7 or so, the seeds can germinate, and the seedlings can resist 3 low temperatures.

In spring, when the temperature is above 6, the spring buds begin to sprout. Goji berries overwinter at 25 years without frost damage.

Sowing method: Sowing can be carried out in spring, summer and autumn.

It is best to sow seeds in late March in spring.

On the well-prepared seedling furrow, according to the row spacing of about 25 cm transversely open the sowing ditch, the depth of the ditch is 2 3 cm, the width of the sowing width is 5 cm, and then the seeds are evenly sprinkled into the ditch, covered with fine soil after sowing, slightly compacted, and the furrow surface is covered with grass insulation and moisturizing.

Hello, the two can be soaked together, lemon has a strong bactericidal effect, but also promote the secretion of proteolytic enzymes in the stomach, increase gastrointestinal peristalsis.

It is recommended to drink it every day when there is yin deficiency, and do not drink it if there is yang deficiency, etc., because the effect of wolfberry on yin is relatively strong.

Water is an important part of the wolfberry tree, and the water content in the ripe berries of wolfberry accounts for about 83%. Water plays an important role in the metabolism of the tree, it is not only an indispensable and important component of photosynthesis products, but also a solvent for various substances, so that the inorganic salts absorbed by the roots are transported to all parts of the crown, and the photosynthesis products made by the leaves are transported to the roots, so as to promote the growth of the tree with deep roots and lush leaves, flowers and fruits.

The wolfberry is drought tolerant, and can grow on the cliffs of arid mountainous areas in Ningxia, where the annual rainfall is only millimeters, but the annual evaporation is millimeters, and can also grow on the ancient Great Wall, which is never irrigated, and can flower and bear fruit in small quantities. This is because it has a well-developed root system and can reach deep into the soil to absorb water. At the same time, wolfberry is an equifacial leaf, and the fence organization on both sides is very developed, and the intercellular space of this tissue is small, so that the evaporation of water on the leaf surface is controlled, and more water is relatively retained, so the drought tolerance is strong.

However, to achieve a good yield, you must have enough soil moisture**. According to the experimental investigation, wolfberry grows normally when the soil moisture content is below the groundwater table and 20-40 cm deep. If the groundwater level is too high, it is not conducive to the growth of wolfberry.

When the groundwater level is 60-100 cm, the growth of the tree is weak, the number of branches is small, the branches are short, the flowers and fruits are few, the fruits are small, the leaf color is yellowing early, it is easy to aggravate the falling flowers and fruits and falling leaves, and the life span of the tree is short. Because the groundwater level is too high, the aeration conditions of the soil deteriorate, which will affect the respiration and growth of the wolfberry root system. In addition, too high groundwater level will cause secondary salinization of soil, which will increase the content of soluble salt in the soil, resulting in weak growth and low yield of wolfberry.

Irrigation of wolfberry:

The growth and development time of wolfberry is up to 7 months in a year, during which it needs to be continuously supplied with water, and in June and July, it is combined with aphid control to splash water.

Growth and fruiting period. From early May to mid-June, wolfberry grows, blooms, and sets fruit, and requires more water. Generally, the head water is irrigated as early as possible at the end of April or early May to promote the vigorous growth period of the seven-inch branches in advance and lay the foundation for a large number of fruits.

Fill the water 6 to 8 days after the second time. After that, if there is no rain on a sunny day, irrigation is done once every 10 to 15 days. From the beginning of May to the middle of June, irrigation is generally 3 to 4 times.

In the meantime, it should be combined with topdressing fertilizers.

Fruit picking period. Fruit picking in the middle of June to the end of July 45 50 days, during this period of high temperature, is the fruit mass growth and development and ripening stage, this period of water demand is the largest, should be irrigated frequently, to meet the wolfberry water requirements. This period of time is generally 5 7 days irrigation 1 time, which is consistent with the interval between fruit picking, that is, 1 time for each fruit picking.

After the fruit-picking period, water is often splashed to prevent aphids, clean the leaves, and increase the humidity of the canopy of wolfberry, which is conducive to the physiological activities of wolfberry. If the insect control is timely, the number of splashes can be reduced, or no splashing can be done.

Autumn growing season. Over a period of more than 3 months from early August to mid-November, a small amount of irrigation is required; After the fruit is fully harvested, it is watered 1 2 times to facilitate the digging of the autumn garden and promote the growth of autumn buds. At this time, the temperature is high, the nutrients in the water are easy to decompose, which is conducive to the growth of wolfberry, and at the same time, the salt in the soil is also easy to dissolve, which can play the role of washing salt and pressing alkali.

After digging and pruning, the garden is pruned and then irrigated again to promote the growth of autumn shoots. In early and mid-November, irrigate winter water 1 2 times after applying basal fertilizer. For each irrigation period, it is generally appropriate to be 7 10 cm deep.

Goji berries do not have strict requirements for soil conditions and can grow on various soil textures. However, in order to grow better and produce more abundantly, it is best to choose a light soil, sandy soil or medium loam with deep soil layer. The clay soil should be turned deeply, the planting pit should be replaced with new soil, and wheat straw and straw should be added to improve it.

When the groundwater level of the wolfberry orchard is too high, a drainage ditch should be opened to reduce the groundwater level. In the arid highlands without irrigation, wolfberry grows slowly, yields low and has poor fruit quality. According to the survey, the groundwater level of the wolfberry orchard is better below the meter.

Goji berry is more tolerant to salt and alkali, and can grow on heavier saline-alkali land, but if you want to plant wolfberry with high yield, you should choose land with less salt content and hydrogen ion concentration than nanoliters.

As long as it's not sandy, it's okay to have a lot of land.
