A Detailed Guide to the Latest Fertilization Methods and Techniques for Wampee
Wampee is native to southern China and is a tropical and subtropical evergreen fruit unique to the southern region. It is one of the fine fruits of Lingnan. With its promotion, the number of people growing it and the planting area have continued to expand, but many problems have also arisen during cultivation. Among them, the blindness of fertilizer and water management leads to its low yield. So how should wampee be fertilized? Let's take a look together.
I. Fertilization of young trees
The root system of young wampee trees is not well developed and is shallowly distributed, with weak absorption capacity. Therefore, when fertilizing young trees, attention should be paid to the concentration, so as to avoid concentrated fertilizer burning the root system, causing damage to the young tree roots and affecting growth. Fertilization of young trees should follow the principle of frequent and light application, mainly nitrogen fertilizer, combined with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers as well as microelement fertilizers, to promote the growth of young trees. Young trees can be fertilized 1 month after planting and surviving. After that, fertilize once each time new shoots sprout and each time new shoots turn green. In addition, during overwintering, increase the application of organic fertilizer to improve the overwintering survival rate and help them overwinter safely.
II. Fertilization of mature trees
1. Fertilization after fruit harvest
At this time, the amount of fertilizer applied is relatively large, specifically determined according to soil fertility, fruit load of the plant, and tree age. The method of watering with decomposed bran water can be used, applying 15 kg per plant, by opening shallow furrows around the tree canopy and drenching, or directly drenching near the root system. The method of applying dry fertilizer can also be used, with 200-300 g of ternary compound fertilizer or 200 g of urea per plant.
2. Fertilization for autumn shoots
After autumn shoots sprout, in order to promote the maturity of autumn shoots and promote the second sprouting of autumn shoots, and to cultivate fruiting branches, 200-300 g of ternary compound fertilizer can be applied per plant.
3. Fertilizer for flower bud differentiation
Around Great Cold, in order to promote flower bud differentiation and accelerate the growth and development of flower organs and fruiting branches, apply 20-30 kg of decomposed organic fertilizer per plant. First dig holes around the plant, then backfill with one layer of fertilizer and one layer of soil.
4. Fertilization at full bloom stage
During the peak flowering period of the plant, in order to supplement the large amount of nutrients consumed by flowering and enable the plant to bloom and bear more fruit, 150-200 g of compound fertilizer can be applied per plant, which can also make the leaves emerald green.
5. Fertilization at fruit expansion stage
During the fruit expansion stage, in order to accelerate fruit growth and improve yield and quality, fertilization is generally carried out after physiological fruit drop, applying 150-200 g of compound fertilizer per plant. A small amount of boron fertilizer or potassium fertilizer can also be added, which has an obvious yield-increasing effect.
