What is the method of thinning citrus trees?

Before fruit thinning, we should make a general judgment on the citrus orchard, starting with the citrus orchard trees with more fruits. Fruit thinning is divided into two times according to the ratio of leaves to fruits: the first time is fruit thinning by branches, which is usually carried out from the end of June to the beginning of July. The main fruit thinning targets are excessive fruit trees, weak trees, yellow trees and trees planted in recent years, with the aim of reducing the nutrient consumption of trees and promoting the development of summer and autumn shoots; When thinning multiple fruit trees, select the part that needs to put shoots and remove all the young fruits in this part; For yellow trees, weak trees and trees planted in recent years, young fruits at the periphery and top of the crown should be removed. The second fruit thinning was carried out in late August, and according to the leaf-fruit ratio of (30 ~ 35) ∶ 1, the fruit pests, deformed fruits, wind-spotted fruits, sunburned fruits, large fruits with rough skins and redundant fruits were continuously thinned.
