Do You Know How to Add Organic Fertilizer for The Fruit Trees ?
If soil is the body, minerals are bones, water is blood, then organic matter (humus) is muscle. Therefore, the organic matter in soil is indispensable. Orchards with low organic matter content will be easy to suffer from severe deficiency, smaller fruit, lower quality, worse coloration, aggravated virus disease, aggravated frostbite, and sometimes there even appear death trees. So it is very important to add good quality organic fertilizer and improve the quality of the soil.
The autumn is the best season the growth of fruit tree roots. Adding organic fertilizer in the autumn can improve the trees flower bud quality, make the good base for the flowering in the next year, and also can enhance the resistance for fruit trees to pass the cold winter. In this way, we said the autumn is the best time for the fruit trees to use the organic fertilizer.
Organic fertilizer (NY525-2012 standard)
organic matter ≥ 45 %, N + P + K ≥ 5, 10, 12%.
The effects of organic fertilizer on fruit tree:
1. Improve soil. The soil particle structure should be increased to improve soil physical and chemical properties, so as to make the soil porous.
2. Dissolvesoil nutrients. It can obviously reduce the loss of nitrogen fertilizer, restrain the fixation of soil on phosphorus, reduce soil’s fixation on potassium, and increase the efficiency and protection of trace elements in fertilizer.
3. Stimulate Promoting the absorption and operation of nutrient elements, stimulating the division of root cells and promoting root growth.
4. Strengthen the resistance of tress. It can improve the ability of the fruit trees to resist drought, cold, disease resistance, insect resistance and salinity.
5. Improve the fruit The rich nutrient of organic fertilizer is absorbed by plant after decomposition of microorganisms, which will improve the fruits quality.
