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

The role of jujube tree base fertilizer

When the jujube tree is growing, it needs sufficient base fertilizer to increase its yield. If it has sufficient nutrients to grow, its growth will be better. When applying fertilizer, it must be done according to the soil conditions.

When to apply base fertilizer to jujube trees

Jujube trees are usually fertilized during the budding stage or when they are flowering and fruiting. Because they consume a lot of nutrients, they need to be fertilized in a timely manner to increase the tree's stored nutrients.

Selection of fertilizer for jujube trees

When applying base fertilizer to jujube trees, organic fertilizer is generally used, and some quick-acting fertilizer needs to be applied appropriately to promote its root growth and the absorption of nutrients, allowing it to grow well and increase its yield.

How to apply base fertilizer to jujube trees

When applying fertilizer to jujube trees, large trees are generally fertilized by spreading the fertilizer over the entire garden by tilling the field or by digging furrows between the rows, while small trees are fertilized by applying fertilizer in circular or radial furrows.

1. Application in a ring ditch: dig a ring ditch around the tree crown with a width and depth of about 30-40 cm. Then sprinkle the fertilizer into the ditch and turn it over to mix the fertilizer with the soil thoroughly, and then cover the ditch with soil.

2. Radial fertilization trenches: With the tree trunk as the center, dig 6-8 radial fertilizer trenches 1/3 deep into the crown and outward to the periphery. The depth and width of the trench should also be 30-40 cm. It should be slightly shallower near the trunk. Mix the fertilizer and soil evenly, and cover the trench with soil.

How much base fertilizer should be applied to jujube trees?

In spring, the jujube tree must be given all the nutrients it needs. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium must be supplied at the same time, but with different emphases. Nitrogen fertilizer accounts for a larger amount, about 50%, while phosphorus fertilizer accounts for 20% and potassium accounts for about 30%.
