This newspaper (reporter Wang Yi Liu Yong)At present, many fruit trees are starting to bear fruit after the end of flowering. Recently, however, some plum growers in Shuangfu Town, Emeishan City, have reported that many plum trees in their orchards have produced fruits that resemble "chili peppers", and everyone is worried about this.

Recently, the reporter saw in the orchard in Dahe Village, Shuangfu Town, that the plum tree that was supposed to bear round plums produced fruits that resembled "peppers". Liang Cheng, the owner of the orchard, told reporters that he planted a total of more than 10 acres of different varieties of plum trees, such a phenomenon has never occurred in previous years, and this year's special-shaped fruit is mainly called the "three-knot" variety, which is now in the critical period of plum tree fruiting, which may lead to a significant reduction in plum yield this year.

When the reporter visited Dahe Village, he found that Li Shu, a local villager from many villages, encountered the same situation.

究竟是什么原因导致李树果实出现异常呢？记者为此来到双福镇农业综合服务中心，找到有着三十年果树管理经验的高级农艺师陶甲宣。说明来意后，陶甲宣当即跟随记者一探究竟。

来到村民梁成的果园后，陶甲宣仔细观察，很快找到了原因，并给出防控和管理建议。陶甲宣表示，这些李树得了病毒病，病毒病引起畸形果。主要由于前期没有防治蚜虫，蚜虫造成缩叶病，果子没有营养就成了畸形，病毒主要由蚜虫携带而来。现在发生病毒病的果实已占五成，为了保证剩余的五成产量，必须要加强水肥管理，并喷施农药，防止病虫害继续发生。

After hearing Tao Jiaxuan's scientific explanation, Liang Cheng understood the reason why the plum tree produced "chili fruit", and also had a bottom on the next step of fruit tree management.
