Figs, this delicious and nutritious fruit, are loved by consumers for their unique taste and nutritional value. The growth process of figs is a process full of vitality and vitality, from the germination of the seed to the ripening of the fruit, every stage is full of the charm of life. So, what exactly does a fig sprout in? How can you speed up its growth by fertilizing it? Next, let's ** these questions together.
First, let's answer the question of when figs sprout. In general, figs begin to bud in early spring in mid-February. If it is cultivated in the northern regions, due to the colder climate, the germination time may be slightly later, around the beginning of March. Of course, this also depends on factors such as the specific variety, local climatic conditions, and soil conditions. After germination, the growth rate of figs is relatively fast, and usually enters the flowering and fruiting stage between May and July.
Now that we know the germination time of figs, let's take a look at how to speed up their growth by fertilizing. Fertilization is a very important part of the growth process of figs, and proper fertilization can not only provide adequate nutrition, but also promote the growth of plants and the development of fruits. Below, we will introduce the fertilization method of figs in detail.
Basal fertilizer, also known as confinement fertilizer, is the most important fertilization in the growth of figs. The fertilization was mainly based on high-quality rotting farmhouse fertilizer, accounting for more than 50% of the amount of fertilizer applied in the life of figs. The base fertilizer is a slow-release and long-term effect, and the energy is continuously supplied to the growth needs of figs, which plays a supplementary role, and is an important guarantee for cultivating healthy and strong seedlings and bearing fruit in advance and yielding high yields.
Fertilization method: digging a large hole for planting when transplanting figs, the length and width of the hole is 80 100 cm, and the depth is more than 60 cm. When digging the hole, put the topsoil and the heart soil aside, mix the well-decomposed high-quality farmhouse fertilizer and the topsoil evenly and then backfill it into the hole, cover the heart soil on it, and it is best to water enough to make the soil sink and dig the hole and plant.
Fertilizer amount: each hole farmhouse fertilizer should not be less than 45 kg, nitrogen fertilizer should not be less than 05 kg, phosphate fertilizer should not be less than 15 kg, potassium fertilizer should not be less than 02 kg. This amount of fertilization ensures that the figs receive adequate nutrients during their growth.
In addition to the basal fertilizer, figs also need to be topdressed several times during the growth process. The timing and type of top dressing should be determined according to the growth stage of the fig and the soil condition. In general, top dressing of figs can be divided into the following stages:
Top dressing during the growing season: During the growing period of figs, nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers need to be topdressed to promote the growth of plants and the development of roots. At the same time, potassium fertilizer and trace element fertilizer should be appropriately supplemented according to soil conditions.
Top dressing at the flowering and fruiting stage: After the fig enters the flowering and fruiting stage, the demand for nutrients will increase, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and trace element fertilizer need to be topdressed at this time to promote the development of the fruit and improve the quality.
Top dressing after fruit picking: After fig fruit picking, in order to restore tree vigor and promote the growth of new shoots, nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers need to be applied once.
It should be noted that the principle of "appropriate, uniform and timely" should be followed in the fertilization process to avoid excessive or uneven fertilization leading to soil pollution and poor plant growth. At the same time, the fertilization plan should be flexibly adjusted according to the local climatic conditions and soil conditions to achieve the best fertilization effect.
In short, the germination and growth of figs is a complex and delicate process, which requires us to do a good job in fertilization, watering, pruning, etc. Only in this way can figs thrive and bear abundant fruits. Hopefully, the above introduction to the germination time and fertilization methods of figs will be helpful to you.
