What is the best fertilizer for fruit trees?

Time to fertilize fruit trees

In winter, fruit trees can be fertilized during their dormant period. Farmyard manure, cake fertilizer, and compound fertilizer are all acceptable. There is no specific interval for fertilizing fruit trees, and it needs to be determined based on their growth and development level. Fruit trees can usually be fertilized five times a year.

What fertilizer is good for fruit trees?

1. Base fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer, which can be fully decomposed compost, manure, manure and green manure. It is the basic fertilizer for the growth of fruit trees and can provide sufficient nutrients for their growth, promoting its growth and fruiting.

2. Top dressing should be based on quick-acting fertilizers, including quick-acting nitrogen fertilizers, potassium fertilizers, boron fertilizers, etc., to promote fruiting of fruit trees and increase the yield of the year.

Fruit tree fertilization method

Fruit trees can be given time to apply fully decomposed basal fertilizer 15-20 days before planting to meet the nutrient needs during the growth period. Fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be applied during the growth period to promote plant growth. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied before flowering to promote the differentiation of flower buds.

After the flowers fall, fruit trees can be fertilized with a combination of accelerated nitrogen fertilizer and compound fertilizer to increase the fruit set rate. Before the fruit changes color or at the beginning of the color change, apply mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to improve the quality of the fruit. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers may also be applied after picking.

Precautions for fertilizing fruit trees

When fertilizing fruit trees, it is important not to apply fertilizer all at once, as this will cause fertilizer waste and fertilizer damage. Fertilizer can be applied in stages. The amount applied each time should not be too much, and raw fertilizer cannot be used. It needs to be fully decomposed. It is best to water the trees once after fertilizing.
