What fertilizer is better for plums?

Plum is a common fruit in our lives. It is very popular among people because of its exquisite and translucent fruit, sweet and sour taste and rich nutrition.

Due to its good economic value, many farmers choose to plant it. To achieve high yield of plums, fertilization is the key.

So what fertilizer is good for plum trees? How to fertilize plum trees? Let's learn about it with the editor below.

According to the characteristics of fertilizer required by plum trees in different phenological periods, a certain amount of fertilizer needs to be applied in stages in each growing season to meet the nutrient needs. Then, the time for topdressing plum trees is generally divided into the following periods:

(1) Topdressing before flowering

In order to meet the large amount of nutrients needed by the plum tree during the budding and flowering periods, you can apply high-nitrogen water-soluble fertilizer and a small amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer about 10 days before the plum tree buds.

(2) Topdressing after flowering

This is the time when young fruits and new shoots enter the peak of growth at the same time. In order to avoid them competing for fertilizer, balanced macro-element water-soluble fertilizers should be applied in time to reduce physiological fruit drop, increase the fruit set rate, and promote the simultaneous growth of young fruits and new shoots.

(3) Topdressing during the fruit expansion and flower bud differentiation period

After physiological fruit drop and before the fruit enters the expansion period, applying Fengguang Agriculture Chaofu high-nitrogen and high-potassium or high-potassium type macro-element water-soluble fertilizer can greatly improve the photosynthetic efficiency and promote the accumulation of nutrients in the tree, which is beneficial to both fruit expansion and flower bud differentiation.

(4) Topdressing in the late stage of fruit growth

Topdressing is done from the time the fruit begins to color to the time it is harvested. This time, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are used as the main fertilizers. You can use Fengguang Agriculture's high-phosphorus and high-potassium or high-potassium coloring type macronutrient water-soluble fertilizers to promote uniform fruit coloring, high and stable yields, and improve fruit quality.

(5) Topdressing after harvest

After harvesting, you can use mainly decomposed organic fertilizer, combined with a small amount of compound fertilizer, or choose Fengguang Agriculture Qingliu microbial agent to promote root development, improve the root growth environment, restore tree vigor, and store nutrients for flowering and fruiting next year.

【 Summarize 】

The base fertilizer for plums generally consists of organic fertilizer and microbial agents, which can provide long-term and continuous nutrient supply to the trees.

Secondly, before flowering, you can choose to apply high nitrogen fertilizer about 10 days before budding. After flowering, the young fruits and new shoots are at their growth peak. To avoid competition for fertilizer, you should apply balanced water-soluble fertilizer in time to reduce physiological fruit drop, increase fruit setting rate, and promote the growth of young fruits and new shoots at the same time. The plums grown in this way are big and sweet.
