Planting and Care of Walnut Saplings by Month

​

NOVEMBER

• First of all, care should be taken that the walnut saplings taken are grafted, true to their name and of good quality (developed root structure, diameter).

• The pits where the saplings will be planted should be 60×60 cm in size, the pit should be filled halfway with a mixture of top soil and 2-3 shovels of burnt animal manure. Burnt animal manure: It is very important for the seedling in that the soil does not squeeze the root of the seedling and keeps the seedling warm in winter and moist and cool in summer. However, if burnt animal manure cannot be found, chemical root fertilizers should be used. These fertilizers are 20-20 or 18-46 (DAP) and should be used by throwing 150-200 grams at the bottom of the pit.

• The root pruning of the walnut sapling is done (part of the long roots are taken), the sapling is placed in the pit so that the graft site is 5 cm above the soil, annealed soil is placed on the root part, and the top is filled with other soil, up to 5 liters of life water is given.

• If the land is windy, the seedlings are tied with hereke.

DECEMBER

• Since the walnut sapling is dormant, it does not need any care. Planting can also be done in this month, as we described in November.

JANUARY

Since the walnut sapling is dormant, it does not need any care. Planting can also be done in this month, as we described in November.

FEBRUARY

• The top pruning of the newly planted walnut saplings is done from 40 cm.

• 2% burgundy slurry is applied to the previously planted walnut saplings.

• Preparation of Claret Red Slurry: Claret red slurry is a mixture prepared using bluestone (Copper Sulphate 98%) and lime. 2% claret red slurry is prepared as follows:

• 2 kg bluestone is dissolved in 50 liters of water. Then, half the amount of bluestone, ie 1 kg of quicklime, is dissolved in a small amount of water. The melted lime is filtered and mixed with 50 liters of water. Then, the two mixtures obtained are combined by transferring them to a 100-liter container, thus forming a light blue slurry.

• Planting of saplings can still be continued.

MARCH

• Care should be taken to care for walnut saplings in March.

• The rain and snow waters falling during the winter back up the soil, and the hard layer formed as a result of this must be broken with the hand hoe method until the end of March. In this way, the evaporation of the water accumulated in the sapling root, the breathing and operation of the seedling root is ensured. In addition, it is ensured that the rain falling until the irrigation time is better absorbed by the soil.

• Top pruning, which cannot be done in February, is made from 40 cm.

• Planting of saplings can continue.

APRIL

• The bottom of the grafting point is checked frequently and the wild shoots are cut.

Then, half the amount of bluestone, ie 0.5 kg of quicklime, is dissolved in a small amount of water. The melted lime is filtered and mixed with 50 liters of water. Then, the two mixtures obtained are combined by transferring them to a 100-liter container, thus forming a light blue slurry.
