Growing rules
In order for seedlings of American nectarine to take root well and actively bear fruit, it is necessary to observe the terms of planting in open ground, find a suitable area for planting, prepare the soil and plant correctly.
Tips regarding agricultural technology:
● The period for planting seedlings should be selected, taking into account the climatic features of the region. In warmer regions, trees can be planted in the first half of autumn, and in areas where cold, windy weather prevails - in spring.
● Sandy and loamy soil is considered the most suitable. The plant will not grow on soil with a high clay content.
● Nectarine cannot be planted on the ground after clover, strawberries, potatoes, tomatoes, as there is a high probability of verticillosis.
● This variety prefers the sunny side, so there should be no buildings or trees nearby that provide shade.
● You should not grow nectarines next to peaches, as there is a high probability of infection with various fungal infections.
● The planting hole must be prepared 2 weeks in advance. The soil from the pit must be mixed with rotted compost and superphosphate. Next, pour half of this mixture into the center of the hole, forming a hill. Place a seedling on it, level the roots, and then pour the remaining soil. The territory from the center to the edges of the hole should be well watered and compacted.
During the growing season, the plant should be watered abundantly, and in the rest of the year - 2 times a month. In hot weather, it is necessary to spray the ground part. It is desirable to do it early in the morning or late in the evening.
Fertilize the tree with mineral elements and organic matter every 10 days. The ideal organic fertilizer is rotted manure, which should be diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10.
Ticks, moths, aphids, and flower-eating weevils pose a greater danger to nectarines. In case of pest infestation, it is necessary to treat it with insecticides.
