In 1992, Meizhou officially established the trade name of Shatian Pomelo as “Meizhou Golden Pomelo”. The establishment of the "Meizhou Golden Pomelo" brand name is based on two reasons. First, the color of Shatian pomelo is golden when ripe, and the contiguous Shatian pomelo base is like Jinshan. Second, the fruit grapefruit has good benefits. At that time, many farmers cultivated mountain species. The pomelo made a fortune and built a new house. "The family planted a hundred pomelo, just like opening a vault" became the mantra of the masses. Shatian pomelo naturally became the "golden grapefruit" in the minds of farmers.

Meizhou Golden Pomelo Quality Technical Requirements (1) Site conditions. The gentle slope below 20°, the soil is red loam, the soil organic matter content is ≥1.5%, and the pH is 5.0 to 6.5. (2) Seedling breeding. Take the acid pomelo as the rootstock, take the scion from the fine mother tree, graft and multiply. (3) Cultivation management. 1. Planting: Planting time is spring planting, autumn planting and winter planting. The planting size is 5m×6m or 5m×5m, and the planting density is ≤375 plants/ha, planted in north-south direction or planted at the same height. Evenly distributed 5% to 8% of pollinated trees such as acid pomelo and chopped pomelo in the garden. 2. Soil management: In the second year after planting the hilly orchard, the soil will be deepened and expanded to change soil, and the organic fertilizers such as green manure, straw and manure will be layered and applied, 80kg to 100kg per cubic meter, and lime will be applied 1 to 2 times per year. 40kg. The flat orchard has been cultivated every year. 3. Plastic pruning: Through the measures of bud control, tipping, topping, wire shaping, trimming, etc., the crown of the wavy round head is cultivated. 4. Fertilization: The young tree is “one shoot and three fats”, mainly nitrogen fertilizer, and the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is 1:0.3:0.7. The result tree is mainly organic fertilizer. The annual application of organic fertilizer per hectare is not less than 10 tons. It is suitable to apply inorganic fertilizer and trace elements reasonably, and focus on applying fruit fertilizer, spring shoot fertilizer, stable fruit fertilizer and strong fruit fertilizer, nitrogen and phosphorus. The ratio of potassium is 1:0.5:0.8, and the whole plant is about 3.0 kg of pure nitrogen for the whole year. 5. Water management: According to the growth characteristics of juvenile trees and fruit trees, reasonable irrigation and drainage are carried out. 6. Pest Control: Pest control shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Guidelines for the Rational Use of Pesticides (GB/T8321—1997) and the “Non-pollution Foods Citrus” (NY5014-2001). (4) Fruit harvesting. After the winter, when the fruit of the pomelo fruit is 1/2 to 2/3 yellow, it can be harvested. When harvesting, it is necessary to cut one fruit and two, and take it lightly during harvesting and handling to prevent mechanical damage. (5) Quality characteristics. 1. Sensory characteristics: The project requires a second-grade fruit shape with a gourd shape and a short neck shape. The top surface of the fruit is flat and the “money” printed ring is more obvious. More positive, it is gourd-shaped, short neck-shaped, the top surface of the fruit is flat, and the "money" printed ring is more obvious. The fruit peel is smooth, even and clean, free of pests and diseases, oil-free cell pressure and fruit, no defect. The peel is smooth, even and clean, free from pests and diseases, and has no defective fruit. The color is yellow and the coloration is good. Light yellow, good coloration. The palate is sweet and refreshing, with honey, no odor, crispy slag, and moderate juice content. The flesh is sweet and refreshing, more honeyy, no peculiar smell, embrittlement and slag, and the juice content is moderate. Single fruit quality, kg≥1.2≥1.0 skin thickness, cm≤1.7≤1.8 2. Physical and chemical indicators: project indicators primary and secondary soluble solids, %≥12≥11 solid acid ratio ≥27≥24 edible rate,%≥42 ≥41
