How to fertilize figs

Fig is a kind of flowering plant, its tree shape is beautiful and has good ornamental value, while the fruit of fig can not only be eaten fresh, but also processed into fruit juice, jam, preserved fruit and other non-staple foods, which has high edible value. Finally, figs can also be used as medicine, which has a certain medicinal value. Figs have been planted in all parts of our country in recent years, so when figs are planted, how can we fertilize them? Let's learn about it together.

1. Base fertilizer

Fig base fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer, combined with an appropriate amount of chemical fertilizer, chemical fertilizer is generally the use of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium ternary compound fertilizer. This can provide the fig plant with nutrients for a long time, maintain the normal tree potential, improve the immunity of the fig tree, and thus promote the high yield and high quality of the fig. The base fertilizer of figs is usually carried out between November and December, but the best fertilization time is from the end of February to early March. Fertilization is mainly carried out by ditching, the ditch depth is about 35 to 45 cm, and the amount of base fertilizer per mu is generally controlled at about 600 jin.

2. Topdressing

The late topdressing of figs generally needs to be carried out several times, mainly according to the fertility of the soil and the growth of figs. If the soil fertility is not enough, it usually needs to be applied seven or eight times, but under normal circumstances, it usually needs to be applied three to four times. During the growth period of the fig tree, if the pledge yellowing and the tree body is weak, then the nutrition is relatively insufficient. At this time, it is mainly to apply nitrogen fertilizer, the dosage is about 600 jin. When the fig flower and fruit stage, we are mainly potash fertilizer to promote the growth of the fruit, the dosage is about 400 jin. In addition, in the fig ripening period, we need to apply appropriate compound fertilizer, the amount of which is about 200 jin. Finally, in order to avoid the cracking of figs, it is necessary to spray potash fertilizer properly.

3. Fertilizer requirement

Fig is generally best not to carry out continuous cropping, but its fertilizer requirement is relatively large, so it needs to be applied many times in the process of its growth. In the normal planting process, the amount of base fertilizer generally accounts for about 25% of the total fertilizer application in a year. In the later stage, the amount of topdressing should be controlled at 25% of the total fertilizer application for the first time, 30% for the second time, 15% for the third time and 5% for the last time. Too much or too small amount of fertilizer will affect the growth of figs, so we must apply fertilizer scientifically.

The above is what the editor would like to share with you today. I hope I can help you with the introduction of the fertilization method of figs.
