What fertilizer is best for honeysuckle (what fertilizer is best for high yield when growing honeysuckle)

Honeysuckle is a common Chinese medicinal material. It requires a lot of nutrients during its growth process. So what kind of compound fertilizer is good for honeysuckle?

Honeysuckle is a fertilizer-loving medicinal material . Reasonable fertilization can increase the number of honeysuckle flowers, improve the quality of honeysuckle, and increase the content of chlorogenic acid and luteolin glycosides in honeysuckle. This is the main indicator for measuring the quality of honeysuckle, so we must keep this in mind when fertilizing honeysuckle.

What fertilizer should be applied to honeysuckle to achieve high yield

Honeysuckle is relatively easy to grow. It has a wide adaptability, is drought-resistant, and can tolerate poor soil. However, during cultivation, it is still necessary to increase the supply of fertilizer and water, and apply more organic fertilizer, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium fertilizer, and green manure . Then combine spraying with pesticides, spray Duole on the leaves, apply topdressing 2-4 times a year, and apply base fertilizer once .

① Apply a certain amount of fertilizer when buds sprout in early spring, and apply 0.15kg of compound fertilizer per hole.

② Spraying Duole before picking flowers can significantly promote growth and increase flower yield, and apply 0.1kg of compound fertilizer per hole.

③ In late autumn or when honeysuckle enters dormancy, spray Duole on the leaves and apply 0.15kg of cake fertilizer or 5-15kg of decomposed farmyard manure per hole.

What fertilizer is good for honeysuckle topdressing

Honeysuckle needs to be fertilized several times a year, and the timing of fertilization should be well controlled. The first topdressing should be carried out in the early spring budding period , using organic fertilizer combined with compound fertilizer to promote the growth of new shoots and the development of leaves.

After the first picking, you can apply the second fertilizer. You can use high-phosphorus compound fertilizer, which adds potassium dihydrogen phosphate and potassium humate to improve the soil, strengthen root growth, promote flower bud differentiation, and increase the number of flowers.

  After the last picking each year, use potassium humate compound fertilizer to nourish and protect the roots, adjust the acidity and alkalinity, promote root growth, nourish the roots, and protect the roots, so as to improve the honeysuckle plant's ability to resist cold over the winter.

To fertilize honeysuckle, you can use the ring ditch method. Dig a ring ditch about 40 cm wide and 30 cm deep around the honeysuckle, evenly spread the fertilizer in the ditch, and cover it with soil to achieve the purpose of retaining water and fertilizer.

Farmers can also use the strip trench method, digging trenches 30 cm wide and 50 cm deep between the rows of honeysuckle. This method requires high fertilizers, so it is generally recommended to use the ring trench method.

In addition, spraying the leaves with Duole before each flowering period can promote plant growth and increase the yield of medicinal materials by 20% . After each flower picking, it is best to apply Duole as a topdressing fertilizer to increase the number of flower pickings.
