表 Please select and fill in the relevant technical information according to the following technical classifications for specific technologies.

Technical link	Key technical points	Implementation season / month
1. Site Selection and Soil Preparation	Mountain apricots are typically planted on slopes or hilly areas. Well-drained sandy loam or light loam soils are preferred to ensure the root systems of the apricot trees can grow properly. Soil preparation includes deep plowing and leveling the land to improve soil aeration and water retention.
2. Variety Selection and Planting Methods	Drought-resistant, locally adapted, and high-quality fruit varieties are commonly selected. The trees are planted using a moderate density pattern, typically with a row spacing of 3-4 meters and a plant spacing of 2-3 meters, ensuring adequate space and sunlight for each tree.
3. Water Management	Given the arid and semi-arid climate of Baling Left Banner, efficient water management is critical for successful mountain apricot cultivation. Rain-fed farming is the primary method.
4. Ecological Benefits and Comprehensive Utilization	Apricot trees fix carbon through their roots, reduce soil erosion and improve the local environment. The apricots can be processed into dried apricots, apricot kernel oil, and other products, increasing farmers' income. Additionally, apricot tree branches and leaves can be recycled as feed or fertilizer, contributing to a sustainable ecological cycle.
