Fig, also known as peach, is a kind of health-preserving fruit, which can be both fruit and medicine. Xia Guo usually ripens in early July, and autumn fruit usually ripens in late August to mid-June. Figs can be propagated by cutting or layering. Because fig branches are easy to produce adventitious roots, cutting propagation is often used in production. So when is the survival rate of cutting high? Let's discuss it together.

Cutting time of fig The suitable growth temperature of fig is about 20℃, so it can be cut in spring or summer. In spring, the daily temperature is generally above 15℃, so choose 1~3-year-old robust branches with short internodes and diameter of1.5 cm. Choose green and hard semi-lignified branches for cutting in summer. Spring temperature, soil moisture, light and other conditions are more suitable. After cutting, the growth environment of branches is good and the survival rate is relatively high.

Cutting method of figs When cutting figs, thick branches with the thickness of1.5 ~ 3cm are selected and cut into cuttings with the length of about 40cm, with the upper end cut into a flat mouth and the lower end cut into an oblique mouth to increase the contact surface with the soil. After cutting, soak the cuttings 12~24 hours with clear water to improve the rooting rate. The soaking time depends on the degree of water loss. The soaking time is short for those with less water loss, and the soaking time of dehydrated white is appropriately prolonged. After soaking, dry in the shade. When cutting, insert 2/3 cuttings into the soil, compact and water to keep the soil moist. It usually takes a month to take root. When cutting, choose a good seedling plot to avoid seedling raising in orchards such as grapes and peaches, and avoid field reaction and continuous cropping. Pay attention to shading after cutting to avoid direct sunlight.

After cutting, figs can take root and sprout after 1 month, and the seedling rate is generally 80%~90%, and some of them can bear fruit in the same year. 1, seedling management: weed and loosen the soil evenly at seedling stage to prevent soil hardening. When figs grow to 2-3 leaves, topdressing seedling fertilizer 1 time and applying 5 kg urea per mu. 2. The seedlings in the middle and late stage need a large amount of fertilizer in summer, which needs to be fertilized in 2~3 times and combined with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. At the same time, pay attention to avoid excessive drought and waterlogging.
