What is the best fertilizer for mangoes?

Mango fertilization time

1. After planting the young mango trees, start topdressing when they have grown 1-2 shoots. There are four more topdressings to be done, in March, May, July and September. Apply post-fruit fertilizer in June and July, and apply flowering fertilizer in September and October.

2. Mango trees need to be fertilized with quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer when the flowers fade. About 30 days after the flowers fade, during the rapid growth period of young fruits, fertilizer needs to be sprayed every 10-15 days.

What fertilizer to use for mango

1. After the mangoes are harvested, the main fertilizers used are organic fertilizers and quick-acting nitrogen fertilizers. Each plant should be applied with 30-50 kg of organic fertilizer, 0.5 kg of compound fertilizer, and 1-1.5 kg of urea to promote the growth of autumn shoots and restore growth potential.

2. The flowering-promoting fertilizer for mangoes is mainly potassium fertilizer, and quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer is used for foliar fertilization to supplement nutrients. Applying urea and potassium nitrate or 600 times liquid of life element can reduce fruit drop in fruit trees.

Mango fertilization method

The basal fertilizer for mango trees is mainly nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, appropriately combined with bone meal, superphosphate and other phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Nitrogen fertilizer is mainly used for topdressing. Fruit-bearing mango trees are fertilized mainly with nitrogen and potassium fertilizers, and calcium, magnesium and phosphorus fertilizers are applied in combination to ensure the nutrients needed for fruit development.

Mango fertilization precautions

The root system of a mango tree is underdeveloped when it is young, and the number of fibrous roots is small and shallowly distributed, so fertilization should be done frequently and thinly. When applying fertilizer, it should be evenly distributed in holes along the drip line outside the crown of the tree.
