Where is the best spot to fertilize fruit trees?
Fruit trees mainly absorb nutrients through the root hairs of their root system. Therefore, when applying fertilizer to fruit trees, you should focus on the edge of the canopy projection or slightly beyond it, and not too close to the trunk, because near the trunk there are thick large roots and fewer fine roots and root hairs, which is not conducive to fertilizer absorption.
When fertilizing fruit trees, the following principles should be followed: fruit trees with deep root systems should be fertilized appropriately deeply, and vice versa shallowly; organic fertilizer decomposes slowly but provides nutrients over a longer period, so it can be applied deeply, while chemical fertilizer is highly mobile and can be applied shallowly. For example, when applying organic fertilizer to deep-rooted fruit trees such as pear trees, the depth should be 40-60 cm, while when applying organic fertilizer to shallow-rooted fruit trees such as plum trees, the depth should be 30-40 cm. After fertilizing, it is best to spray New High Lipid Film to improve fertilizer efficiency.
For orchards with closed canopies or dense planting, shallow application can be done between rows and between plants, and it is best not to damage large roots or to damage them as little as possible, so as to give full play to fertilizer efficiency, improve fertilizer utilization, and achieve the goal of increasing yield and income.
