Peanut is an important grain and oil crop and is widely grown around the world. However, if you want to get a bumper peanut harvest, choosing the right fertilizer is particularly important. This article will introduce how to choose the right fertilizer to help peanuts grow better.
1: Understand peanut fertilizer demand Peanut is a crop with high fertilizer demand. It requires enough nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to maintain growth and development. When selecting fertilizers, we should first understand the fertilizer needs of peanuts.
2: Comparison between organic fertilizers and chemical fertilizers In fertilizer selection, both organic fertilizers and chemical fertilizers can be used. Organic fertilizers have the advantages of slow release, soil improvement, and environmental protection; while chemical fertilizers have the advantages of balanced components and fast effects. Different types of fertilizers should be selected based on specific circumstances.
3: Role of main nutrient elements Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are the main nutrient elements necessary for the growth and development of peanuts. Nitrogen can promote plant growth, phosphorus can enhance plants 'drought tolerance and disease resistance, and potassium can improve plants' stress resistance and disease resistance.
Fourth: Fertilizer application time The application time of fertilizer is also one of the key factors affecting the growth and development of peanuts. Generally speaking, base fertilizer should be applied before peanuts are planted, and then topdressing should be applied during the growing season. In addition, the nutrient elements that need to be applied are different at different growth stages.
5: Choice of nitrogen fertilizer Nitrogen is one of the most needed nutrients during peanut growth. Commonly used nitrogen fertilizers include urea, ammonium nitrate, etc. When applying nitrogen fertilizer, appropriate amounts should be applied according to soil conditions and peanut growth stages.
6: Selection of phosphate fertilizer Phosphorus is one of the nutrient elements necessary for the growth and development of peanuts. Commonly used phosphate fertilizers include mono-superphosphate, tri-superphosphate, etc. When applying phosphate fertilizer, care should be taken to avoid excessive application to avoid affecting the growth of peanuts.
Seven: Selection of potassium fertilizer Potassium is an important element in improving peanut stress and disease resistance. Commonly used potassium fertilizers include potassium sulfate, potassium chloride, etc. When applying potassium fertilizer, appropriate amounts should be applied according to soil conditions and the growth stage of peanuts.
Eight: The role of trace elements Trace elements also have a great impact on the growth and development of peanuts. Lack of elements such as iron, zinc, manganese, and copper will affect the growth of peanuts. In the selection of fertilizers, attention should be paid to the supplementation of trace elements.
Nine: Fertilizer application technology Fertilizer application technology also has a great impact on the growth and development of peanuts. Correct fertilization methods can improve fertilizer utilization and promote peanut growth. In general, erroneous practices such as over-fertilization and spreading fertilizer on top of peanuts should be avoided.
Ten: Combined use of chemical fertilizers and organic fertilizers Chemical fertilizers and organic fertilizers can be used in combination to achieve better results. Chemical fertilizers can provide nutrients, while organic fertilizers can improve soil and increase soil aeration.
XI: Storage and transportation of fertilizers Storage and transportation of fertilizers are also issues that require attention. Fertilizers should be stored in a cool, dry, ventilated place, away from sun exposure and humidity. During transportation, severe vibration should be avoided to avoid affecting the quality of fertilizers.
Twelve: The importance of reasonable fertilization Reasonable fertilization is one of the keys to ensuring a bumper harvest of peanuts. Reasonable fertilization can improve fertilizer utilization, reduce waste, and also reduce pollution and environmental damage.
XIII: Fertilization management skills Fertilization management skills are also one of the important factors affecting the growth and development of peanuts. Fertilization should be carried out according to the growth stage of peanuts and soil conditions to avoid excessive fertilization and wrong operations.
XIV: Issues that need to be paid attention to in the use of fertilizers When using fertilizers, there are still some issues that need to be paid attention to. For example, avoid causing harm to the human body and the environment, pay attention to the isolation between fertilizers and seeds, and avoid expiration of fertilizers.
Fifteen: Fertilizer management of peanuts is one of the important factors in achieving a bumper harvest. Correct management and treatment are needed in terms of fertilizer selection, application time, application method, etc. Only in this way can peanuts grow vigorously, yield high and have good quality.
