Abstract:

Overwintering freezing injury caused by Low temperature is one of the main disasters that restrict the development of forests and fruits. In this paper, through the analysis of the winter meteorological data from 1981 to 2022 years of Kashi National Climate Reference Station and the historical record of freezing disaster investigation, the variation characteristics of different meteorological elements in the overwintering period of pomegranate were studied. Combined with the changes of meteorological elements of freezing injury over the years, the relationship between the occurrence of freezing injury in the overwintering period of pomegranate and meteorological factors was clarified, and the meteorological indexes causing freezing injury in the overwintering period of pomegranate were determined. The results showed that, based on the extreme minimum temperature, duration of low temperature for several days, the drop degree of extreme minimum temperature and the snow depth in winter was the meteorological indicators affecting the safe overwintering of pomegranate in Kashi. This study provides a scientific theoretical basis for the technical measures of safe overwintering and cold prevention of pomegranate in Kashi.
