What kind of fertilizer is good for wolfberry base fertilizer (base fertilizer application method)

The role of wolfberry base fertilizer

The growth cycle of wolfberry is relatively long, and it needs sufficient nutrients to thrive. Applying sufficient base fertilizer before planting is more conducive to growth and flowering and fruiting, and it is easy to get high and stable yields.

Selection of wolfberry fertilizer

Lycium barbarum has a large demand for fertilizer and is relatively tolerant to fertilizer. First of all, base fertilizer should be applied before planting, and organic fertilizer can be chosen as base fertilizer.

How to apply wolfberry base fertilizer

The planting time of wolfberry is from March to April every year, so you can apply some base fertilizer before planting to meet its nutrient needs during the growth period.

There are three main ways to apply wolfberry base fertilizer, which are strip, ring and semi-ring ditch application. After the soil is renovated, the fully decomposed base fertilizer can be placed in the soil, a little away from the roots to avoid burning the roots and affecting the later growth. Cover it with soil and then water it thoroughly.

How to apply fertilizer to wolfberry

Top dressing should be carried out according to the growth of wolfberry. April and May are the period of wolfberry branch and leaf growth and flower bud formation on old branches. Fertilizers with high nitrogen content can be applied with appropriate amount of phosphorus fertilizer. June and July are the period of large-scale new branch growth, flower bud formation and fruit expansion. The demand for fertilizer is relatively large, and fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be applied.

If wolfberry grows more new branches and sprouts many flower buds in early August, in order to promote the growth of autumn fruits, you can also apply fertilizer containing nitrogen and potassium elements once. Pay attention to applying thin fertilizers frequently, and do not use concentrated fertilizers or raw fertilizers.
