At less than six o'clock in the morning, Uncle Zhang and the jujube farmers of Houdi Village, Dawang Town, Sanmenxia City, Urban-Rural Integration Demonstration Zone (High-tech Zone), packed up and rode a tricycle to the jujube forest with the equipment for daily pruning and insect removal of jujube trees.
I only saw Uncle Zhang skillfully take out the long pole, tie the saw for pruning the branches and the long pole tightly, and start the day's work.
Uncle Zhang introduced while drying: "Our jujube branch is pruned twice a year, once in winter and once in spring. And it can not be pruned at will, it is necessary to cut off miscellaneous branches and bad branches, and then build excess branches, so as not to affect the main stem and fruit, and the yield of jujube can go up. ”
At present, the temperature is rising, and pests and diseases such as jujube mealybug, jujube tick, and red spider often occur. If insect pests occur, it will not only affect the quality of jujube, but also cause the tree to weaken, which in turn will affect the growth and yield of jujube trees. The jujube farmers in the town seized the current favorable opportunity to actively carry out pest control and pruning of jujube trees to improve the quality of jujube and achieve a bumper harvest.
