How to fertilize yellow peaches? Master the key points of scientific fertilization techniques
The yellow peach is a fruit that has sold extremely well on the market in recent years. The scale of yellow peach cultivation is now constantly expanding, but to increase yellow peach yields, expanding the planting scale alone is not enough, so fertilizing yellow peaches becomes very important. So how should we fertilize yellow peaches? Let's take a look below at the fertilization techniques we have brought you.
1. Fertilizing young trees
The yellow peach tree grows relatively fast, and its fertilizer demand during the young tree stage is also relatively large. During the young tree stage of the yellow peach, we mainly aim to promote the overall growth of the yellow peach tree, and generally speaking, nitrogen fertilizer is the main type used. The principle for fertilizing young trees is generally frequent application of light fertilizer; the amount applied each time should not be too large, so as not to damage the tree body, but the fertilization amount needs to be appropriately increased according to the growth of the young tree. A young yellow peach tree generally needs five to six topdressings a year, with the amount of nitrogen fertilizer controlled at about 20 kg each time, and at the same time about 5 to 10 kg of phosphate fertilizer should also be appropriately used. When the yellow peach tree has not yet fruited but the tree shape is complete, we need to reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizer and increase the amount of phosphate and potassium fertilizer to promote flower bud differentiation and enter the fruiting stage as early as possible.
2. Fertilizing trees that have just begun fruiting
When the yellow peach has just begun to fruit, its fruit yield is generally relatively small, but at this time our fertilization method has already changed noticeably compared with the young tree stage. When the yellow peach sprouts, about 15 kg of urea needs to be applied as topdressing; about 10 kg of nitrogen fertilizer should be applied before the yellow peach blooms, together with about 10 kg of phosphate fertilizer; after the yellow peach sets fruit, when the fruit grows to the size of a peanut, fruit-swelling fertilizer needs to be applied as topdressing, and during this period phosphate and potassium fertilizer are the main types, with the amount controlled at about 50 kg. Finally, what needs attention is that in order to let the yellow peach color better and improve the quality of the yellow peach, we also need to appropriately apply potassium fertilizer as topdressing.
3. Fertilizing trees in full fruit stage
In fact, fertilizing yellow peach trees in the full fruit stage is similar to the topdressing method in the early fruit stage, and the topdressing process is basically the same; the difference lies in the control of the fertilization amount. The fertilizer demand of yellow peach trees in the full fruit stage is much greater than in the early fruit stage. During the growth period of the yellow peach, the amount of nitrogen fertilizer should be controlled at about 30 kg, and phosphate fertilizer should be appropriately used, with an amount of 5 kg; pre-bloom fertilizer is mainly phosphate fertilizer, with an amount of about 20 kg, plus a small amount of urea and nitrogen fertilizer; of course, we can also use a three-element compound fertilizer; the fruit-swelling stage requires 80 kg of potassium fertilizer and 20 kg of phosphate fertilizer; in the later stage of fruit growth, an appropriate amount of foliar fertilizer also needs to be sprayed to avoid weakening tree vigor and extend the full fruit stage of the yellow peach.
4. Fertilizing aging trees
When a yellow peach tree is in the aging stage, in order to maintain the yield of the yellow peach, the branches and leaves of the yellow peach tree need to be renewed. At this stage, it is necessary to promote the growth of new fruiting branches, and its fertilizer demand is also relatively large. During its branch and leaf growth period, nitrogen fertilizer is mainly used, and the amount should be maintained at about 150 kg. In its later growth process, topdressing can simply be carried out according to the fertilization method of the early fruit stage.
Through the above introduction to yellow peach fertilization methods, I believe everyone now knows how to fertilize yellow peaches. I hope everything goes smoothly for everyone in the subsequent planting. Of course, if you still have other questions, or want to consult specifically on how to apply the fertilizer, you can also leave us a message.
