Eucalyptus base fertilizer

Eucalyptus is a fast-growing wood that has a great demand for fertility. Applying base fertilizer to eucalyptus can improve the soil structure, which not only increases the nutrients in the soil, but also promotes the formation of soil aggregate structure. Under the action of organic matter, the nutrient content in the soil is significantly increased.

How to apply eucalyptus base fertilizer

When applying base fertilizer, be careful that the fertilizer cannot come into direct contact with the seedlings in the soil, otherwise it will burn the seedlings. You can apply the fertilizer in the planting hole 20 cm away from the planting point and then cover it with soil.

In addition, you can also dig the pit a little deeper when planting, then put the fertilizer at the bottom of the pit, add soil to 5-10 cm, mix it evenly with the fertilizer, and finally plant the seedlings on the soil separating the fertilizer.

Eucalyptus trees must be weeded before each topdressing, which can effectively avoid weeds competing for fertilizer. It is best to do it in the uphill direction away from the roots of the tree. Finally, cover it with soil to prevent fertilizer loss.

When applying topdressing, you should also choose the right weather, such as after rain. Fertilizer applied after rain is most easily absorbed. In areas with poor soil, you should increase the amount with caution, and in areas with rich soil, you should reduce the amount appropriately.
