The Litchi In Hawaii PDF Download

Excerpt from The Litchi in Hawaii Much is yet to be learned regarding the cultural requirements Of this tree. NO orchard experiments with the litchi are on record in any Of the meager and fragmentary literature available on the subject. Unless there is a liberal rainfall or a constant subterranean supply Of water, abundant irrigation is necessary. It is well known also that large quantities Of fertilizer are used in the cultivation Of the litchi. It is the custom Of some Of the Chinese growers to apply night Soil several times during the year. For this purpose a Shallow trench, dug near the ends Of the roots Of the tree, is filled with the fertilizer which is covered with soil. Duck manure also is a favoritefertilizer with the growers Of the Orient. Some growers prefer to put the manure on as a top-dressing and cover it with a heavy mulch because Of the tendency Of the litchi to form surface roots. NO experiments with chemical fertilizers have been reported. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
