Netizens complained that the fruit is not sweet enough this year.

"There is too much rain this year, and the fruits are not as sweet as in previous years

This year, due to heavy rain, the fruit mouths such as big peaches have been affected to a certain extent

Citizens: The taste of fruits purchased from the same store for many years is obviously not as good as in previous years.

A few days ago, a reporter from the Beijing News found that many netizens on the Internet said that this year's fruits were not as delicious as in previous years and were not sweet enough

"I have been buying fruits from this store for several years.

Merchants: Sales at price cuts are still shrinking by nearly one-third

Subsequently, reporters from the Beijing News also visited some vegetable markets and supermarkets

According to another fruit e-commerce company, in the process of purchasing fruits from growers in the fields this year, it was discovered that the sweetness of fruits has generally declined

The sweetness of the grapes in the cold shed is not affected too much

Fruit grower: The highest sweetness in previous years reached more than 20, the measured sweetness decreased this year 

Yang Fugui has been planting big peaches for more than ten years.

The late summer and early autumn are also the grape production season, with bunches of plump fruit hanging all over the branches, but this summer's rainy and even heavy rain weather has brought a lot of impact on the taste and yield of the grapes

Xu Bao, the person in charge of Grape Grand View Garden in Zhangjiawan Town, Tongzhou District, also said that the taste of grapes has been affected

Expert: Why are fruits not sweet? What should I do if it is not sweet?

The Beijing News reporter learned that, as the main producing area of ​​Pinggu big peaches in the suburbs of Beijing, this year Pinggu District launched pilot projects in Liujiadian and Dahuashan towns.

Zhang Ying, deputy director and researcher of the Fruit Tree Germplasm Improvement Research Center of Zhengzhou Institute of Fruit Research, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that too much rain will indeed affect the taste of some fruits

“Generally speaking, in the last month of fruit ripening, drought is conducive to the accumulation of sugar.
Under the influence of rainfall and climate, it will reduce the taste on the one hand, and on the other hand it will increase the possibility of pests and diseases
.
The rainy seasons just overlap
.
" Zhang Ying said that at present, the cultivation of grapes in China is still dominated by open-air cultivation.
In some places south of the Yangtze River, rain-proof cultivation is adopted when grapes are planted, that is, the grapes are propped up with "umbrellas" to prevent excessive rain.
Intrusion will affect the taste of the grapes, but if the rainfall is too heavy, the protective effect of this kind of rain shelter will not be obvious, especially the root system can not be prevented from flooding
.

“Although excessive rainwater this year has affected the taste of grapes in some areas, the prices of grapes in most areas have actually risen except for disaster-stricken areas
.
” Zhang Ying said that at present, cold shed planting is the best way to protect grapes from rain and prevent extreme weather.
One of the best ways, especially as the grape market continues to rise, more and more qualified grape growers have begun to increase investment in agricultural facilities
