The importance of principles and methods of fertilization of fruit trees
The principles and methods of fertilizing fruit trees are very important, and good fertilization methods can help fruit trees grow well and achieve high yields. Here are some precautions and effective methods for fertilizing fruit trees:
1) Choose the right fertilizer: Choose the right fertilizer according to the needs of the fruit tree variety and planting conditions. Fertilizer should have the characteristics of long-lasting fertilizer effect, which can not only provide sufficient nutrients for root growth, but also maintain fertilizer efficiency and avoid waste. Organic, farmyard and chemical fertilizers can be used, but care must be taken to choose a fertilizer that meets local environmental requirements.
2) Know the timing of fertilization: The timing of fertilization is also very important. In general, the root system of fruit trees grows most vigorously in spring and autumn, when fertilization can maximize the efficiency of fertilizer use. Therefore, fertilization is more appropriate before germination in spring and after defoliation in autumn.
3) Control the amount of fertilizer to be fertilized: Applying too much or too little fertilizer can have a negative impact on fruit trees. In general, the amount of fertilizer should be determined according to the age of the fruit tree, tree potential, soil conditions and fertilizer type.
4.Scientific fertilization methods: Different fertilizer types and fertilization methods require different fertilization methods, such as annular furrow fertilization, radial fertilization, strip furrow fertilization, hole fertilization and soil drilling. For organic fertilizer, direct sprinkling can be used, but for chemical fertilizer, it is recommended to use drip irrigation topdressing or deep buried fertilization, which can improve fertilization efficiency and avoid waste.
5) Integrated management: Fertilization is only one part of fruit tree management. In addition to fertilization, other management measures are also required, such as reasonable fruit thinning, pruning, scientific pest control, and adjustment of fertilizer composition and proportion according to the needs of fruit trees, which are necessary conditions to ensure the healthy growth and high yield of fruit trees.
