Cultivation methods and precautions of cashew nuts

Batten

The pressing and seedling raising time of cashew nut can be divided into two periods every year, one is from February to April and the other is from October to November. In these two periods, the achievement rate of pressing and seedling raising is as high as 93%. The mother plant of layering is most suitable for the mother plant below the age of 10. If the age of the mother plant is too high and exceeds the age of 20, it is difficult to take root even if the layering is successful. The batten is usually made of peat, shavings, moss and other materials

Tissue culture

The cotyledon explants cultured on the medium supplemented with 0.5 mg / L IAA and 0.5 mg / L kinetin can directly form organs, and complete plants can be formed in about 5 weeks. Culture and induction are not required

Shaping and trimming

Shaping and pruning the cashew tree can improve the fruit setting rate and strengthen the ventilation and light transmission of the tree body. Plastic pruning usually follows the principle of light rather than heavy, early rather than late. It can be trimmed in stages and batches, which will have a better effect

Precautions

Cashew trees are threatened by dozens of diseases and insect pests during a long growth period from cultivation to fruit bearing. For example: gum disease

Yellow leaf spot, leaf rot, etc. If there are pests on the cashew tree, such as beetles and cashew moths, be sure to spray pesticides in time
