How to fertilize plums

The nutritional value of plums, its high content of antioxidants, anti-aging, anti-disease effect, often eaten can nourish beauty, lubricate the skin. In planting plums, mastering scientific fertilization methods is the key point to increase production and income through fruit varieties, so how to apply fertilizer to plums? Let's take a look.

1. Base fertilizer

Base fertilizer can supply the nutrients needed for plant growth for a long time, and it is the basis of plant growth. It is generally applied to the ground before planting or to the bottom of the hole during transplanting. Generally, the base fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer or farm manure, such as compost, stable manure, green manure and so on. At the same time, it can also be matched with some quick-acting chemical fertilizers, such as nitrogen fertilizer, which can meet the nitrogen elements needed for plant germination and flowering in the early stage. It is appropriate to apply base fertilizer in autumn, because the ground temperature is higher in autumn, and the base fertilizer can mature as soon as possible without causing too much damage to the plant root system. Of course, mature farm manure can also be applied directly.

Second, topdressing

In addition to the application of base fertilizer, topdressing 4-5 times a year according to plant growth status can accelerate plant growth, make it blossom and bear fruit ahead of time, and increase yield to a certain extent.

1. Topdressing at flowering stage

In order to meet the need of plant germination and flowering to consume a large amount of nutrients, available nitrogen fertilizer was applied 7-10 days before plant germination, usually about 200-250 grams per plant, increasing or decreasing according to the tree potential.

2. Topdressing after anthesis

In the peak period of upright young fruit growth and new shoot growth after flower shedding, in order to avoid new shoots and young fruits grabbing nutrients, resulting in poor young fruit growth, it is necessary to apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer in time to reduce physiological fruit drop, increase fruit setting rate and promote young fruit and shoot growth. The amount of fertilizer application is also about 200-300.

3. Fertilization in fruit stage

In order to speed up the fruit expansion and increase the yield, it is necessary to apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in time, increase the photosynthesis of leaves and promote the synthesis of nutrients in the tree, which is beneficial to both fruit expansion and flower bud differentiation. at this time, the amount of fertilizer can be increased, depending on the number of results.

4. fertilization in the later stage of fruit growth.

From the beginning of fruit coloring to before harvest, it is also necessary to apply fertilizer once. At this time, fertilizer should be applied less or not, mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, with appropriate amount of boron fertilizer, and foliar spraying can increase fruit weight and quality. it is also beneficial to the accumulation of tree nutrients, which is extremely important for the yield of the following year.
