What fertilizer is best to apply before banana plants shoot their flower buds? What should be noted
Banana is a potassium-loving fruit tree; among the nutrients it absorbs during growth and development, potassium is the most needed. If potassium fertilizer supply is insufficient, bananas will grow poorly, showing weak plants, easy lodging, small flower buds, thin fruit, low yield, poor quality, poor storage and transport tolerance, easy rotting, weak disease resistance, and easy infection by leaf spot disease. Banana plants absorb the most potassium fertilizer before shooting their flower buds, so extra application should be noted before bud shooting.
From the time banana plants survive after planting and begin to grow their first new leaf until flower bud shooting and blooming, potassium fertilizer must be applied once every 15-20 days, with 100-200 grams of potassium chloride or potassium sulfate per plant each time. After spreading the potassium fertilizer around the banana plant, scoop a small amount of thin mud from the furrow to cover the potassium fertilizer, or mix it with 10-15 kg of clear water and pour it around the plant. In addition, a 0.2-0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution, or a 500-600 times high-efficiency biological phosphorus-potassium fertilizer aqueous solution, must be sprayed on the leaves once every 10-15 days, evenly wetting all leaves, to supplement potassium fertilizer from the leaf surface, which is beneficial to normal growth of banana plants, increases the potassium content in the plant, promotes flower bud shooting and blooming, and improves yield and quality.
