Fertilization time for tea oil

It is best to fertilize oil tea in spring, and the second time in autumn and winter is best after the autumn harvest. No topdressing is required in the first year, and a small amount of topdressing is applied in the second year. Starting from the third year, topdressing should be applied 2-3 times a year. In winter, 5-10 kg of farmyard manure can be applied per plant, and 0.1-0.2 kg of compound fertilizer can be applied per plant before the spring shoots sprout, which has a better effect on tree growth.

What fertilizer to use for tea oil

The fertilizers applied to oil tea are different at different times. Nitrogen fertilizer is applied before flowering, and phosphorus fertilizer is applied in appropriate amounts. Topdressing is done in time after the flowers fall to promote the growth of young fruits. During the fruit growth period, nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers are applied mainly in combination with potassium fertilizers. This can enlarge the fruit and reduce fruit drop. If conditions permit, organic fertilizers can be applied to double the effect.

Fertilization method for camellia oleifera

1. The main fertilization methods for oil tea are ditch application and foliar spraying. Fertilizer is applied directly into the fertilization ditch and mixed evenly with the soil. Then it is covered with backfill soil. The position is then changed every year. Appropriately deepening and widening the fertilization ditch can promote the growth of the root system.

2. It is extremely important to choose the time to spray fertilizer on the leaves of tea oil. Fertilizer applied at high temperature at noon is easy to evaporate.
