Effect of edamame fertilizer

Before planting edamame, applying sufficient base fertilizer can enhance soil fertility, improve soil looseness, enhance microbial activity, promote root development of edamame, and create a good soil environment for later seedling growth. The base fertilizer of edamame is applied about one month before planting edamame, mostly around April.

How to apply edamame base fertilizer

1. Land preparation Edamame grows best in loose, well-drained, and fertile high-quality soil. Before planting, land preparation should be done first, and the soil should be plowed to a depth of about 25 cm. Try to deep plow the soil before winter, and then deep plow it again in the spring of the following year, and apply sufficient base fertilizer again.

2. Selection and dosage of base fertilizer The amount of base fertilizer must be sufficient. Because edamame has a relatively large demand for nutrients, especially for phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizers. Base fertilizers are mostly farmyard manure, with an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer. The specific ratio depends on the fertility of the soil.

How to apply base fertilizer to edamame

Apply nitrogen fertilizer appropriately during the seedling stage, as the plants are prone to nitrogen deficiency during this period. Applying nitrogen fertilizer can prevent abnormal growth of seedlings. Apply pod fertilizer appropriately during the pod-setting period according to the growth and pod-setting conditions. In addition, pay attention to foliar fertilization, which can timely supplement nutrients for edamame and promote its normal growth.
