1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Since apricots like warmth, try to keep them between 20 and 25 degrees. Its ability to withstand heat is very strong, so the high temperatures in summer generally do not pose a great threat to it, but it must not be left in an environment that is too hot. Furthermore, it is relatively cold-tolerant, but the above-ground parts are afraid of frost.

2. Light: Apricot is very adaptable to sunlight, because it grows better in both strong light and weak light. If you want it to grow better, provide an environment with astigmatism.

3. Watering: Apricot has good drought resistance. Therefore, the amount of water usually required is not much, just add an appropriate amount, as long as it is not very dry for a long time. However, when there is a lot of evaporation, try to provide sufficient moisture.

4. Fertilization: Apricots do not require much fertilizer and are highly adaptable. As long as the nutrients in the soil are sufficient, top dressing is basically not needed.

2. Breeding skills

1 , Propagation: Sowing methods can be used, "drill sowing" or "broadcasting" are both possible. When the fruits turn brown, they can be harvested, then take out the seeds and select suitable ones for sowing. It needs to be soaked for 24 hours before sowing. Both row and plant spacing can be controlled at fifty centimeters. After it grows into a seedling, it can be transplanted.

2. Pruning: The leaves of apricot often grow very densely, especially when it grows very vigorously. Therefore, regular pruning is required. If it is too dense and messy, you can cut off part of it. Then, diseased leaves can be cut off directly. If it is planted in a large area, the plants can be disposed of directly.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1 , Diseases: The main disease is "fusarium wilt". The effect of using thiophanate methyl is better, and carbendazim can also be used. It can be cured by spraying once every five to seven days and two or three times.

2. Insect pests: One of the more common pests is the cabbage caterpillar. BT powder can be used to eliminate them.
