With the continuous development of agriculture, fertilizers are performing better and better in improving crop yield and quality, especially for crops with high economic benefits, water-soluble fertilizers will be used. Water-soluble fertilizer can provide sufficient nutrients to fruit trees, so that fruit quality and yield can be improved. When is the best time to fertilize citrus trees? Let's take a look at it.
When is the best time to fertilize citrus trees – late spring:
Fertilization during this period is to meet the nutrient needs of citrus buds and lay the foundation for flowering and fruiting. Moreover, the temperature rises in spring, and fertilization is conducive to the germination and growth of new roots, restoring root function, making branches sprout, pumping spring, and preventing spring cold. Microbial agent + rooting agent + high nitrogen macroelement water-soluble fertilizer can be applied to supplement soil nutrients, organic matter and beneficial bacteria, inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria, improve crop stress resistance and disease resistance, improve the soil, make new roots germinate, and strengthen crop growth.
When is the best time to fertilize citrus trees – flowering and fruiting period:
During this period, fertilization is conducive to improving the amount of flowers, pollination rate, increasing fruit setting rate, and preserving flowers and fruits. Foliar spraying is the main application, and a large amount of nitrogen fertilizer should be avoided to prevent the sudden occurrence of summer shoots and cause a large number of fruit drops. Foliar spraying containing amino acids foliar fertilizer + boron + potassium dihydrogen phosphate can promote flowering and fruit setting and stabilize yield.
When is the best time to fertilize citrus trees – swelling period:
Fertilization can make the fruit swell, prevent fruit dropping, and crack the fruit. Foliar spraying with amino acids foliar fertilizer + calcium + potassium dihydrogen phosphate can enhance fruit development, increase yield and improve fruit quality.
When is the best time to fertilize citrus trees – veraison:
Fertilization can accelerate the accumulation of dry matter, promote fruit expansion, sweetening, color change, and prevent fruit cracking. It is recommended to apply high-potassium granular water-soluble fertilizer + microbial inoculant, and spray amino acid-containing foliar fertilizer + calcium fertilizer + potassium dihydrogen phosphate at the same time to improve the commerciality of fruits.
When is the best time to fertilize citrus trees — flower bud differentiation period:
Fertilization can promote flower bud differentiation and accelerate the lignification of shoots, preparing for high yields in the coming year. It is recommended to apply water-soluble fertilizer + microbial agent with high phosphorus or balanced macroelements.
