How effective is autumn basal fertilization for peach trees? Why should basal fertilizer for peach trees be applied in autumn? Please explain the reasonsReasons for applying basal fertilizer to peach trees in autumn: In autumn, temperatures are high, there is plenty of rain, soil moisture is high, and soil temperature is high. Applying fertilizer to fruit trees at this time means the fertilizer decomposes quickly in the soil, has a long-lasting effect, and is easily absorbed by peach trees; at the same time, autumn coincides with the second peak growth period of peach tree roots, so roots accidentally damaged during fertilization heal easily; small roots accidentally cut during fertilization stimulate the growth of new roots, playing a role in thinning and promoting roots; in addition, applying basal fertilizer to peach trees in autumn allows the fertilizer to decompose quickly in the soil and be absorbed and used by the roots, producing sufficient nutrients stored in the tree body, which not only strengthens the tree vigor but also promotes the formation of plump leaf buds and flower buds in that year, so that in the following spring the peach trees sprout and bloom uniformly, and the peach fruit ripening period is uniform, thereby increasing the fruit-setting rate of peach trees and achieving the goal of increasing yield and quality.
Benefits of autumn basal fertilization for peach trees:With autumn basal fertilization for peach trees, under the same conditions of soil, water, and pest and disease control management, and applying the same type and amount of fertilizer, autumn basal fertilization for peach trees compared with spring application (spring basal fertilization, because early spring soil temperature is relatively low, humidity is low, and fertilizer effect is slow to develop, cannot timely supply the growth needs of the tree body for sprouting, flowering, and fruiting) can increase the fruit-setting rate by more than 10%. At the same time, the peach fruit is well-proportioned, brightly colored, improved in quality, and increased in yield.
