Answer: my country has a long history of jujube tree cultivation, and some famous varieties have been cultivated for thousands of years. During this long history, environmental influences and natural variations have caused serious differentiation of these ancient varieties. According to the census of red dates resources in Cangzhou City, there are nearly 20 types of golden jujubes alone. The author once investigated a six-year-old golden jujube orchard planted with returned seedlings. The preliminary classification included large long body, small long body, long round body, medium round body, and small round body. Some fruits were severely cracked, and some were cracked. Mild, some are disease-resistant and some are not. Under the same management conditions, there is no armor opening, some trees are full of fruits, and some trees are basically fruitless. The serious variation is evident. This problem also exists in other varieties. Jujube orchards, which have long relied on root tiller propagation and development, produce jujube fruits of different sizes, with different flavors and tastes. It is difficult to achieve consistency between internal and external quality. It is extremely inconsistent with the requirements of modern commodity standards and cannot adapt to the market. need. Some have extensive management, low high-quality fruit rates, and poor benefits. The variety structure is unreasonable, there are few early-maturing fresh food varieties, and the market sales chain is short. The number of jujube processing varieties is small, there is a lack of modern large-scale enterprises to drive the development of the jujube industry, and the level of jujube industrialization is low. These problems restrict the development of the jujube industry and should be solved in production to promote the healthy development of the jujube industry. For this reason, the following points should be paid attention to during production:
(1) Continue to breed excellent strains
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the help of the vast number of scientific and technological workers and The efforts of jujube farmers have resulted in the selection and breeding of dozens of excellent strains, which have improved the quality of original varieties and promoted the development of the jujube industry. We should continue our efforts to mobilize the masses and make full use of the abundant jujube resources to select new resistant varieties. Stronger and better quality new strains.
(2) Increase the promotion of new strains
Most of the jujube trees planted at the end of the 20th century were root tillers, which affected the overall improvement of jujube fruit quality. In the future, new jujube orchards will be built Be sure to choose newly-selected and improved seedlings for planting to ensure that the seedlings in the jujube garden are pure and of high quality.
(3) Accelerate the transformation of large trees
Through general surveys of jujube orchards that have already produced fruit, especially in old jujube areas, we will identify those with small fruits, poor quality, poor resistance, and especially those that are susceptible to diseases. , single plants that are prone to fruit cracking can be replaced by high-quality strains through grafting on large trees. Only in this way can we reduce costs, produce high-quality fruits, and increase farmers' income.
(4) Improving the quality of jujube fruits
In current production, some jujube orchards focus on planting and neglecting management, while others pursue yield only and ignore quality, resulting in a decline in jujube fruit quality and affecting market sales. . Cultivators and operators should establish the modern concept of quality first, brand first, and honesty to win the market. In order to comprehensively improve the quality of jujube fruits, in addition to using excellent varieties, we must also increase the application of organic fertilizers, rational fertilizer and water management, and correctly use flower preservation and fruit promotion technology to achieve appropriate results, timely harvesting, and improve the level of post-harvest processing technology. Only in this way can we ensure the high quality of jujube fruits, win the market, and meet the needs of domestic and foreign markets.
(5) Adjust the variety structure to enrich the jujube market
The single variety of jujube fruit is not conducive to extending the market sales chain and puts pressure on centralized harvesting and processing. Caused serious losses to the jujube industry. In 2007, when the Cangzhou golden jujubes were ripe, continuous rain caused heavy losses such as cracked jujubes and rotten fruits. This should be taken as a warning. At present, all jujube varieties with excellent quality have thin peels and are easy to crack when mature, so they should not be developed in large areas. It should focus on high-quality varieties suitable for the local climate and environment, with early, medium and late maturity, fresh food and processed varieties, and form a reasonable variety allocation structure according to market demand. This allows a lot of room for maneuver to cope with the changing climate and market, reduce losses and increase benefits.
(6) Actively develop the industrialization of jujubes
At present, the production of jujubes in my country is mostly small-scale production by households, unable to compete with modern large-scale production, let alone control the domestic and foreign markets. . There are many problems that should be solved but cannot be solved, such as the introduction and application of modern technology, the creation of high-quality brand names, etc. If these problems are not solved, they will directly hinder the development of the jujube industry. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the scale of operations in a timely manner, join forces with modern large enterprises, follow the path of "leading enterprises + bases + farmers", or organize cooperatives and industry association-style industrialization integrating production, marketing, research and processing, relying on collective Strength, through technological innovation, to continuously improve fruit quality and industrialization level, and to cope with the ever-changing domestic and foreign markets, this is the only way out for the development of the jujube industry in the future.
(7) Actively develop jujube industry processing and improve product quality
Processing fruit processing is an important way to achieve added value, expand fruit sales, and promote the development of the fruit industry. my country's fruit processing industry is relatively lagging behind. Fruit processing only accounts for about 10% of the total, which is far from the world's fruit processing, which accounts for 50% of the total. The same is true for jujube processing. In the future, we must make a fuss about processing and use modern technology to improve the quality and grade of processed products; actively introduce foreign funds and technology to develop the content of jujube, such as jujube pigment, cyclic adenosine monophosphate and other deep processing, and expand jujube production. application methods to promote the healthy development of the jujube industry.
