Kumquats are also called "golden fruit". They are raised at home and have fruits on the branches, and they are full of blessings in the family.
Artificial pollination: After the kumquat blooms, it can be artificially pollinated. Use a cotton swab or a small brush to dip the pollen on the male flower and apply it to the stamens of the female flower. This way, pollination can be completed and the fruiting rate of the kumquat can be increased.
Insect pollination: Kumquats can also be pollinated through insects. After the kumquats bloom too much, the bees will help pollinate, greatly improving the fruiting rate. It is necessary to ensure that the orchards are well ventilated, have sufficient light, and have sufficient fertilizer and water during the flowering period, so that the fruiting rate will be higher.
1. Pollination method for kumquat blossom
Artificial pollination: After kumquat blossoms, it can be artificially helped to pollinate. The pollination method is very simple. Use a cotton swab or a small brush to dip the pollen of the male flower and apply it to the stamens of the female flower. This can help pollinate and improve the fruit rate.
Insect pollination: If it is a large-scale cultivated kumquat, it can be pollinated with the help of insects. After the kumquats bloom, then place bees in the orchard. The bees will help pollinate and can greatly increase the fruiting rate. Note that when cultivating kumquats, you must choose a plot with sufficient lighting and good ventilation. Such plots are more conducive to the growth of kumquats and are also convenient for pollination during flowering. Sometimes pollination can be carried out through wind.
2. Management of kumquat flowering stage
Adequate light: kumquats are very light-loving plants, especially during the flower bud differentiation stage and flower fruit stage, otherwise it will affect flowering, fruit setting and reduce yield. It is best to allow the kumquat trees to receive all daylight. Only with sufficient light environment can photosynthesis be better, so as to accumulate more nutrients, thus grow vigorously, bloom better, and also be conducive to later fruiting.
Strictly control water: During the flowering period of kumquats, water should be strictly controlled. If the soil is not dry, do not water it first. Appropriate control of water can promote differentiation of flower buds, promote flowering, and be beneficial to fruition. It is best to wait until the fruit grows stable before watering normally. If you water too much during the flowering period, it will easily lead to fallen flowers, which will affect fruit setting and reduce the fruit setting rate. Kumquat trees are afraid of waterlogging at any stage of growth. If it is rainy, it is best to drain.
Rational fertilization: Kumquats consume more nutrients during the flowering and fruiting period. We must strengthen fertilizer and water management, fertilize in advance to ensure sufficient nutrition. During the flowering period, the fertilizer of phosphorus and potassium is mainly applied, and foliar fertilizer can be also used to ensure sufficient and comprehensive nutrition, so as to promote its vigorous growth and better flowering and fruiting. In addition, in order to improve the fruit, reasonable top dressing is required during the fruit period.
