A hailstorm that tells citrus people that money in their pockets is money!
Some citrus-producing areas have seen hailstorms
In the past two days, hailstorms have fallen in some citrus-producing areas, and the orchards that have not been picked for sale have worried growers.
If the fruit is hit by hail, the slight peel damage leaves the tree for a short time, and it needs to be picked and sold in time (selling), and the serious direct crack loses the value of the commodity.
Citrus stays in the tree for a long time and is risky
Since January, Friends of Citrus has mentioned the hail problem several times, because the citrus production area is wide, and in previous spring, there were individual production areas with hail, but this year there are more production areas.
Every year, orchards suffer heavy losses due to bad weather, and it is always recommended to sell them when they are ripe, or sell a part first. Even if you are optimistic about the later market, at least sell part of it first.
Hail: When encountering hail, the light peel is slightly damaged, the tree retention time is short and needs to be sold (selling) in time, and the serious fruit is directly cracked and loses its commodity value.
Water cracks: Fruits that ripen early, the peel degrades quickly, and water cracks will appear around the fruit stalk after a long time and continuous rainfall.
Floating skin: fruits that ripen early or have a tight skin, stay in the tree for a long time, and encounter continuous rainfall, the fruit is prone to floating skin.
Rejuvenation: In spring, the temperature warms up, the rain increases, and the nitrogen of the tree rises during the growing season of fruit trees, and the fruits are easy to return to green, especially the fruits with less accumulated sugar.
Dry water: From the coloring period to the ripening stage, in the event of continuous drought or low temperature weather, the fruit is easy to dry up after a long time in the tree.
Fruit drop: fruit trees are malnourished, the fruit ripens early, and it is easy to drop fruit after a long time in the tree. In the event of rainfall, orchards that are not sterilized in place are infected with anthrax, phytophthora brown rot, etc., which will lead to fruit drop.
Ji Youfeng Xiaolu reminded
This year's spring is dry, recently some citrus producing areas hail, the weather is more abnormal, the fruit stays in the tree for a long time is risky, money into the pocket is money.
Unpicked orchards should not be sold, it is recommended to sell them with the market. Even if you are optimistic about the later market, sell a part of it first to reduce the risk of planting. Keep an eye on the fruit and don't wait until the fruit drops. 【Statement】The content of this article is for reference only!
