The standardization of the crop is necessary in order to ensure the laying for the next year of flowering kidneys. To do this, remove excess ovaries from the branches of fruit trees. This operation should be carried out in June. For a pear and apple tree, the distance between the fruit should be from 20 to 25 centimeters, and for plum – 5 centimeters.
This must be done so that the tree is healthy and guarantee a stable and good crop. And yet, this minimizes the frequency of fruiting.
Since fruit trees at one time bear the fruits of the current year and immediately begin to lay flower buds under the next crop, they experience large overloads, leading to the depletion of trees and nutrients in the soil. Their frost resistance falls and as a result of which the trees do not have enough strength to lay flower buds for the future crop. This should not be allowed if you are interested in obtaining a guaranteed good crop.
The task of the gardener is to free fruit trees from excess load, removing the ovary.
This can be done in two ways.
Introduction of nitrogen fertilizers to the soil
It is necessary to fertilize the ground under the projection of the crown of the fruit tree immediately after the abundant flowering of the tree ends. Calculation: 30 grams per 1 square meter. It is necessary to put the procedure with watering the solution (the solution must be prepared first).
As a result of this, they will begin to crumble, immediately, the flowers and ovaries, which were damaged or unfertilized. Since, having received growth fertilizer, the tree begins to grow quickly with young shoots and the ovaries become inappropriate.
Manually ration
This technique is quite laborious, although the easiest and most reliable.
It should be carried out only after natural June rationing.
Before starting work, it is necessary to shake the branches in turn so that the dead but not fallen ovaries crumble. After that, you need to remove all the damaged fruits. And only then it is necessary to remove the ovaries with scissors or a secateur, leaving 1-2 pieces of the most powerful and developed on each inflorescence.
It is allowed to leave 1 or 2 strong ovaries for 15 centimeters of the branch for varieties of large -fruited trees.
To form large fruits, for each ovary there should be at least 20 or 40 sheets.
It is necessary to take into account the fact that after the lean, small branches will be loaded less than large branches.
If you correctly fulfill the standardization, then the crop will turn out no less than. This will be possible due to the fact that the fruits will be larger, their quality will increase, they will be bright and tasty.
After the standardization, the crown will not experience excessive load, the fruits will be placed evenly and it will not be necessary to additionally install supports, the breaks and breeding of branches will be minimized and broken.
You should not forget to help the fruit wood after the standardization procedure. Since the tree has experienced stress.
Trees should be treated with an anti -stress drug, biomodulator and the like (for example, Novosil). Prepare a solution from a bucket of water – 3 milliliters of the drug.
It will be useful to make foliar top dressing. For top dressing, it is necessary to make a solution of calcium nitrate (calculation per bucket of water – 50 grams of nitrate).
The frequency of fruiting, as a rule, happens in gardens where fruit trees have a great age. In young gardens, this is rarely observed and to a lesser extent.
In the middle lane, with its difficult climate, lean years are much more common. The reason for this is the lack of sun and heat.
And in such conditions, rationing plays a special role.
