2. Precautions

Apple trees need to be fertilized four times a year: before the flowering period, a large amount of nutrients are needed for the plant to bloom; after the flowering period, it is used to supplement the nutrients consumed by the fruit tree for flowering; during the fruit growth period, it is used to supplement the nutrients needed for the growth and development of the fruit. ; In early autumn, when fruit trees grow slowly, fertilize to help the plants accumulate nutrients for the winter.

1. Frequency of fertilization

1. Fertilize before the flowering period, because plants need nutrients to bloom. If there is insufficient fertilizer, the flowering time will be prolonged.

2. Fertilize after the flowering period. Fertilization must be timely to replenish the nutrients consumed by fruit trees for flowering.

3. During the fruit growth period, supplement the needs of fruit growth and development. The nutrients can make the fruit absorb enough nutrients.

4. In early autumn, when fruit trees grow slowly, fertilize to accumulate nutrients for the plants to prepare for the winter and promote photosynthesis.

2. Precautions

1. Be careful when fertilizing fruit trees. Different types of fertilizers should be prepared according to the proportions. Don’t take it for granted. Fertilizer only needs to meet the normal needs of the fruit tree, not too much.

2. When choosing fertilizer for fruit trees, you must carefully select it. Don’t buy fertilizers that are cheap but have no guarantee of quality. Low-quality fertilizers may cause great harm to fruit trees.

3. When fertilizing fruit trees, you can mix it with some water. This can promote the fertilizer to dissolve with the water, which is conducive to soil absorption and volatilization of fertility.
