The role of coriander base fertilizer

When planting coriander, applying enough base fertilizer can loosen the soil, replenish the organic matter in the soil, enhance the fertility of the soil, provide a better growth environment for coriander, and ensure the growth needs of coriander in the seedling stage. The base fertilizer of coriander needs to be applied when the land is prepared and the ridges are made after the previous coriander is harvested and the residues are cleaned.

How to apply base fertilizer for coriander

1. Choose base fertilizer: The base fertilizer for growing coriander should be mainly organic fertilizer, supplemented by other fertilizers, and try to use multi-component fertilizer. If you use farmyard manure, pay attention to the decomposition and fermentation, which can effectively prevent the reproduction of harmful bacteria and insect eggs in livestock manure.

2. Turn the soil before fertilizing: Coriander requires deep and fertile soil for planting. Before planting, the soil in the vegetable garden needs to be deeply turned over. When turning the land, evenly spread sufficient base fertilizer to help the coriander's later growth.

3. The amount of base fertilizer: The scientific amount of base fertilizer for coriander is 4,000 to 6,000 kg of well-rotted high-quality organic fertilizer per acre, and 40 to 60 kg of compound fertilizer. This amount is more conducive to the cultivation of coriander.

How to apply base fertilizer to coriander

During the seedling stage of coriander, coriander grows slowly and requires little fertilizer. Since the root distribution range is small during the seedling stage, farmers need to apply seedling fertilizer once to help the seedlings grow.

When the coriander seedlings grow to about ten centimeters in height, their water and fertilizer requirements begin to increase, so the coriander should be watered and fertilized every 10 days or so.
