How to fertilize sea buckthorn and what fertilizer to use on sea buckthorn

1. Base fertilizer

2. Top dressing

To fertilize seabuckthorn, you must first apply basal fertilizer. The basal fertilizer is applied when planting. Generally, decomposed organic fertilizer is used to continuously provide nutrients to the plants and is replenished every 2-3 years. During its growth period, nitrogen fertilizer needs to be applied to promote the growth of branches and leaves. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be supplemented during the budding and fruiting stages, which can promote flowering and make the fruits grow fuller. Apply organic fertilizer after picking to replenish the nutrients consumed by the fruits.

1. Base fertilizer

When planting sea buckthorn, base fertilizer must be applied first. The purpose of base fertilizer is to continue to provide nutrients, so organic fertilizers with longer fertilizer effects are often used. The fertilizer must be fully decomposed. If it ferments in the soil again, it will burn the roots of the plants. Generally, basal fertilizer needs to be supplemented every 2-3 years, and 3000-4000 kilograms per mu should be applied.

2. Topdressing

1. Growth period: During the growth period of sea buckthorn, top dressing needs to be carried out in time. Fertilization at this time is mainly to promote the growth of the plant and the development of branches and leaves, so nitrogen fertilizer is mostly used. Common nitrogen fertilizers include urea and ammonium bicarbonate. Urea generally requires 200-400 grams per plant, and ammonium bicarbonate requires 200-300 grams per plant.

2. Budding period: Sea buckthorn will bloom in summer. If there are insufficient nutrients, flowering will be delayed or flower drop will occur, which will also reduce the fruit setting rate. Therefore, phosphate fertilizer should be supplemented during the budding period. Superphosphate is generally used, and 200-300 grams per plant should be applied. At the same time, potash fertilizer should be added, only 100-200 grams per plant is needed.

3. Fruit period: After the sea buckthorn grows fruits, appropriate fertilization is also required in order to promote its growth. Fertilization during the fruiting stage is similar to that during the budding stage, with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers being the main fertilizers, and quick-acting fertilizers being mostly used. In addition, you can also spray it with Zhuang Guo Di Ling, which can make the fruit expand better.

4. After picking: Sea buckthorn needs to be consumed to bloom and bear fruit. It is nutritious, so it needs to be properly fertilized after picking to replenish the nutrients lost before. The fertilizers at this time are mostly organic fertilizers. Since the climate has turned cold and the plants are not growing fast, using quick-acting fertilizers may cause fertilizer damage, so it is very good to apply organic fertilizers.
