What fertilizer is mainly applied to red-fleshed honey pomelo? Please explain
Red-fleshed honey pomelo is mainly fertilized with potassium fertilizer. Potassium is closely related to photosynthesis and the metabolic processes of carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, etc., and is an activator of many enzymes. Potassium is highly mobile in the plant body, often exported from old leaves and mature tissues to the young and tender parts with vigorous metabolic activity, such as buds, young leaves, root tips, cambium and other meristematic tissues. The flowers and fruits of red-fleshed honey pomelo contain high levels of potassium. Potassium is an important element determining fruit yield and quality. An adequate potassium supply can promote the plant's assimilation, make tree vigor and shoot growth normal, increase fruit set, enlarge fruits, improve fruit storability, and enhance the plant's drought resistance, cold resistance and disease resistance. Within a certain range, increasing the potassium content of the plant can enlarge fruits and increase yield. Potassium deficiency blocks protein synthesis, causes excessive shoot growth, and results in small fruits that turn yellow early. Excessive potassium inhibits plant growth, making plants short and small, with thick-skinned fruits that have little juice.
Usually, after increasing potassium fertilizer in a red-fleshed honey pomelo orchard, the potassium content of the leaves rises, which causes the magnesium and calcium contents to decrease, while insufficient potassium application causes the nitrogen, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and iron contents of the leaves to increase relatively.
