Features in pear agrotechnology

A pear, like an apple tree, needs care and attention, is demanding on nutrients and moisture, so you should not neglect its natural needs, the points of which will now be sorted out in order. Therefore, pear agrotechnics must be followed impeccably.

So, pear agrotechnics. In fact, the pear intersects with the apple tree in many aspects, it is quite similar to it, so some points may seem similar to you. But you should not relax, since this is a completely different plant, which means that a number of features must have its own, unique. The growth of the pear is characterized as fast, the pear is planted, as a rule, according to the 6X3 scheme - 4 meters. Do not be lazy and carefully choose a place on the site for planting - it should be high, groundwater should not lie closer than one and a half meters to the soil, otherwise there will be a risk of waterlogging. Sandy loam (as well as apple trees) and loamy soils are ideal for pears. It is forbidden to use a closed type basin, as well as depressions and lowlands, where cold air can be trapped, which, as you know, contributes to freezing right during the flowering period. Strong wind currents affect the pear unfavorably, so it is important to consider this point.

The disadvantage and vulnerability of a pear, when compared to an apple tree, is the poor tolerance of transplants, especially those that occur in the autumn season. Also, the pear shows its safety worse during the winter digging. It is recommended to dig out and even in the spring, plant the seedlings in advance in pits prepared for this, which should be taken care of in the fall.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that spring in the regions is often characterized by drought, due to which the growing process of seedlings is activated, it is necessary to start digging them out in the autumn period. In order to avoid chapping and drying out of the root system, the dug out plants should be dipped in a chatterbox, and immediately before transportation, wrap them in a damp canvas or, for example, plastic bags.

Pits should be dug and prepared in advance, as well as filled with fertile soil, mixing it with fertilizers, in the same way as in the case of an apple tree. The average optimum depth of one hole should not exceed 80 centimeters. Immediately before the planting process, the seedlings should be externally inspected for the presence of wild growth - if one catches the eye in the rootstock area, then it should be cut out immediately in order to avoid unpleasant consequences for the pear in the future. For the winter, the plants must be covered with snow.

If planting can still be postponed until the spring, then the seedlings should be added to the drop during the cold period. In the furrow, previously deepened to a distance of about 30 centimeters, seedlings are installed at an inclination, while it is necessary to observe the direction of the crown to the south. Subsequently, the root system should be covered with moist soil, which in turn should be of a crumbly consistency. Subsequently, the soil should be tamped, leveled and watered to avoid the formation of voids between the soil and roots. A familiar way? We remember the apple tree again. However, a nuance is noted here - it is necessary to make sure that the grafting site must necessarily rise above the soil level, otherwise there is a risk of stemming. For the winter, the ditch should also be covered with snow. By spring, when the topsoil should already thaw, it is necessary to swing the seedlings with extreme caution by the bole.This is used to ensure that oxygen is stably supplied to the root collar for its healthy functioning and vital activity.

In spring, the pear should be pruned, while taking into account its formation. After the planting process, it is necessary to regularly water the plant with 2-3 buckets for each, in a timely manner to subject the process of mulching the holes with rotted manure or peat. The layer must be at least 5 centimeters.

It is imperative to maintain the proper condition of the soil - it must not be allowed to infest it with weeds, periodically subject it to the process of loosening, apply fertilizers for digging. During the dry period, the trees must be watered abundantly, if this is neglected and the plant is not supplied with water on time, the fruits can subsequently overripe, and their shelf life after harvesting is also reduced.

You should consider in more detail such a pear agrotechnology process as pruning a pear, already mentioned above. In the spring, a one-year-old seedling must be cut at about 35-50 centimeters from the soil so that a crown can form from the branches below. However, it is most practical to plant not annual, but biennial seedlings, respectively, in view of the prospects for fruiting.

A pear is a relatively capricious plant, but if you properly care for it, grow it, provide protection from the cold, then it will always delight you with fresh, juicy and tasty fruits. Sometimes pear varieties are distinguished by such generous fruiting that you can notice whole carpets of fallen fruits, which by winter there is hardly anything to do with. In this case, pay attention to the preparation of all kinds of preparations so that vitamins do not disappear. Good luck with growing!
