Features: With the expansion of cultivation areas and the implementation of the contract system under the reform and opening-up, farmers, fruit growers, and garden workers are even more eager to apply new information and technologies in fruit cultivation to increase their income. The compilation and publication of this book are precisely to meet this demand. It gathers excellent experiences from all over the country and selects and compiles new technologies and measures in seedling cultivation, grafting and pruning, hormone application, cultivation management, pest and disease control, yield improvement, and quality enhancement for citrus, grapes, watermelon, bananas, lychees, longans, mangoes, pineapples, peaches, plums, pears, pomegranates, jujubes, persimmons, and apples. The methods are practical, simple, and effective, with reliable technology. Some of these techniques and measures have achieved significant economic benefits after implementation. If readers apply them according to local conditions, they will undoubtedly achieve pleasing results. When compiling this book, we adhered to the principle of avoiding repetition, seeking novelty, focusing on practicality, and emphasizing benefits. It prioritizes new technologies without introducing overly complex theories, aims at practicality without excessive discussion of theoretical knowledge, and introduces both new technologies and conventional techniques with significant economic benefits while explaining them. Based on our experience in establishing New Rural Technology and accumulated knowledge, we believe that this approach is suitable for the cultural level of farmers, fruit growers, and garden workers, and also aligns well with the practical needs of grassroots agricultural technology personnel.
