Apple is suitable for growing in deep, loose and fertile soil, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, the PH value of the soil is suitable between 5-8 and the suitable temperature for its growth is 12-24 ℃ . In winter the temperature should not be too high, which will affect the dormancy of apples. The light should be more sufficient, so that the yield and quality of the fruit will be higher, the water should be drained in time in areas with high rainfall and water should be replenished in time in areas with less rainfall. In addition, it is better to plant apples in the warm temperate zone. It is a temperate fruit tree that likes low temperature and dryness. It requires no severe cold in winter and no extreme heat in summer. The suitable temperature is about 9-14 ℃ annual average temperature.
Regarding apple picking, this is the last stage of apple growing, and the most time-consuming and laborious part of apple production. Therefore, harvesting must follow a scientific method.
(1) Suitable for harvesting. The fruits on the same tree should be harvested from the outside to the inside and from the bottom to the top; the maturity is inconsistent, and harvesting in batches can improve the quality of the fruit.
(2) Harvest/pipe fruit picking should be carried out after the dew is dry in the morning and the temperature is cool in the afternoon. It is not advisable to carry out in fog, rain and sunshine.
(3) Fruit pickers should cut off their nails and wear gloves to handle the fruit lightly.
(4) Choose suitable harvesting tools: fruit shears, harvesting knives, etc.
(5) Picking with harvest bags or baskets.
(6) The size of the turnover box should be moderate, not too large, otherwise it will easily cause the bottom of the product to be crushed. Wooden boxes, waterproof cartons and plastic turnover boxes are less harmful to the product.
(7) Harvest time has a great influence on post-harvest processing, preservation, storage and transportation. Generally, it is best to pick when the temperature is low within a day, because the product has a small respiration effect and a slow physiological metabolism, which can minimize the field heat brought by the product.
