At present, my country's kiwifruit planting industry has a wide variety of varieties and fast update and iteration speed. Growers often face the challenge of variety selection and adjustment. As the consumer market's requirements for fruit quality continue to improve, especially the higher standards set by high-end sales channels for fruit appearance, dry matter content, storage stability, etc., many fruits are difficult to achieve high quality and price due to substandard quality, which affects the improvement of industrial efficiency.
In this context, if a company plans to build its own brand and enter the high-end market, it must systematically improve the quality of its fruits and achieve standardized management throughout the entire process from planting to post-harvest processing. At the same time, for companies that have independent variety rights and hope to carry out brand licensing and large-scale cooperation, a mature, replicable, and highly stable standardized cultivation technology system has become a key element to support brand promotion and expand demonstration influence. 2. Design and implementation of technical solutions
In 2024, we cooperated with a planting company in Sichuan and carried out a systematic quality improvement test demonstration at its base, focusing on the three aspects of soil biological vitality improvement, nutrient targeted supplementation and precise fertilizer and drug management, and built a standardized full-process biological vitality cultivation system that is replicable and cost-controllable.
• Improved soil biological vitality : Use microbial inoculant products such as Tubeikang and Dibeijian to enhance soil activity and improve physical and chemical properties. ;
• Qualitative Nutritional regulation : According to the characteristics of fertilizer requirements during the phenological period, use products such as Futawang, Quanzhou Micro Calcium Magnesium Boron, Protective Potassium, and Colored Honeydew to improve fruit sugar content, dry matter, and storability. ;
• Digital agricultural monitoring : Deploy soil sensors to monitor water and fertilizer dynamics in real time and assist in fertilization and irrigation decisions.
The test has a total of 3 demonstration plans and 2 conventional controls, each with an area of 5 acres. The specific plans are as follows:
