To raise asparagus, fertilization should be carried out according to its growth stage and climate. Spring and autumn are the stages of vigorous growth. At this time, water and fertilizer management must be strengthened. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizers can be applied. If conditions permit, Fertilizers such as sesame paste residue and bean dregs are all very good natural nutrients. Stop fertilizing in summer and loosen the soil appropriately when fertilizing. In winter, less fertilizer is generally required and fertilizer can be applied once a month.

1. Fertilization time

1. Spring: Spring is when it begins to grow and grows vigorously. During this period, sufficient fertilizer needs to be applied to it to ensure that it has sufficient nutrients for its growth. It can be applied once every half a month to twenty days.

2. Summer: The temperature in this season is very high, and its growth will become slow or even enter a dormant period. It is necessary to reduce the amount of fertilizer or stop fertilizing.

3. Autumn: Autumn and spring are the same , the growth is relatively vigorous during this period, so you can apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer or liquid fertilizer to it.

4. Winter: The temperature is relatively low in winter, and there is no need to apply fertilizer. Just apply a little liquid fertilizer every month to ensure a supply of nutrients after the winter.

2. How to apply fertilizer

When fertilizing asparagus, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizers are the best. Of course, liquid fertilizers can also be used, which are easier for the plants to absorb. Increase the amount of nitrogen fertilizer before the flowering period, which can promote the differentiation of flower buds and make the flowers more colorful. However, you should not fertilize too much during the flowering period. Once in May and June, and once in September and October are enough. If you fertilize too much, it will cause yellow leaves, leggy growth, etc.
