Origin of navel orange in Gannan, Jiangxi Province
Gannan navel orange is produced in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province. It is a specialty of Ganzhou City and a symbolic product of chinese national geography. With an annual output of one million tons, it has become the world's first navel orange planting area, the third world output and the largest navel orange producing area in China. Planting navel oranges in this area has two advantages:
1, mountain resources
Ganzhou City is a hilly and mountainous area with a mountainous area of 45.6 million mu, which is located at the southern edge of the middle subtropical zone and has mountainous resources for planting navel oranges. The city's suitable navel orange planting area is 4.5 million mu, of which 2 million mu is the best area, with 200 high-altitude fields.
2. Soil conditions
Ganzhou mountainous area is dominated by Quaternary red soil, with a small amount of purple soil and mountain yellow soil. The soil layer is deep, and a high standard navel orange orchard can be built with a little modification.
The soil conditions in this area are good, and the red loam has the characteristics of deep soil layer, acidic soil and low organic matter content. This kind of soil is suitable for navel orange growth. A large number of shallow hills and slopes provide conditions for Ganzhou to develop a large-scale fresh navel orange base.
Secondly, the terrain in Ganzhou area is phyllite weathered loam with a depth of over 1 m, which is loose and breathable. There are many trace rare earth elements in soil, which affect the formation of fruit pigment. This has a great effect on improving the sugar, vitamin C content, aroma, crispness and storage resistance of navel orange.
