PREPARATION OF THE LAND TO PLANT WALNUT SAPLINGS

The land where walnut saplings will be planted is first plowed with a tractor, then the land is hoeed and the land is leveled. Then, sapling pit locations are measured and marked with lime powder. Sapling planting pits are dug in the marked places by hand digging or with a backhoe loader. The soil removed from the pit is not used for planting. Instead, the hole is filled with quality soil on the field and a slight mound is created to prevent the grafting sites from remaining in the soil. A hole is opened with a shovel, large enough to accommodate the roots of the walnut sapling, and the sapling is planted. The root of the planted sapling is trampled with the foot to prevent it from getting air, and the root of the sapling is tightly compressed. The planted walnut saplings are given plenty of life water. The aim here is to ensure that the root of the planted sapling and the soil adhere well to each other and prevent the root of the sapling from breathing air. During planting, the roots of the saplings are gently cleaned and deep pruning is never done. Do not use organic or animal fertilizers during planting. After planting, it is sufficient to put 2/3 shovels of burnt manure from the top to the bottom. Technical fertilizers are applied by drip during summer irrigation according to the soil analysis of the land. Fertilization 1st irrigation is given in the form of water and fertilizer, 2nd irrigation is given in the form of water only, 3rd irrigation is given in the form of water and fertilizer. For the walnut trees in the walnut garden, nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizers are used for 3 months in the summer to form fruit, and for the next 2 months, potassium and calcium-based fertilizers are used to fill the fruit.
