What is the best fertilizer for osmanthus trees?
Do you know these? Let's learn about the small experiences of plant breeding, such as the best fertilizer for osmanthus trees and the correct fertilization methods for osmanthus trees.
Osmanthus trees like many types of fertilizers, including livestock manure, human waste, cake fertilizer, and mixed fertilizer. Among them, livestock manure and human waste are used more frequently. Next, I will specifically introduce the fertilizer selection and application methods for osmanthus trees.
I. Fertilizers preferred by osmanthus trees
1. Human waste fertilizer
One of the fertilizers preferred by osmanthus trees is human waste, which can be used as a base fertilizer but needs to be sterilized before use.
2. Livestock manure
Thoroughly decomposed chicken and duck manure, pig manure are commonly used fertilizers for osmanthus trees. Livestock manure is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. When the soil nutrients are insufficient, a proper amount of livestock manure can be used to meet its growth needs.
3. Cake fertilizer
Cake fertilizer is a type of fertilizer suitable for the growth of osmanthus trees, which is the residue left after seeds are used for oil extraction at home, mainly soybean cake and peanut cake residues. Cake fertilizer is rich in nitrogen and is a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer.
4. Mixed fertilizer
Fertilizers containing a rich variety of trace elements are mixed fertilizers, which are also one of the fertilizers preferred by osmanthus trees. Residual fish bones, chicken bones, etc., at home belong to mixed fertilizers. After soaking in water, fermenting, and decomposing, and then disinfecting and sterilizing, they can be used directly.
II. Fertilization methods
1. Early planting stage
For newly planted osmanthus trees, do not rush to fertilize to avoid the early contact of fertilizer with the roots of the osmanthus trees, which may cause root rot, affecting root growth, thus reducing survival rate and leading to death.
2. Small to medium seedling stage
When the osmanthus trees grow to the small to medium seedling stage, it is necessary to use diluted phosphorus or potassium fertilizer once a month.
3. Medium to large seedling stage
When the osmanthus trees grow to the medium to large seedling stage, it is necessary to use mixed fertilizer, and of course, thoroughly decomposed livestock manure can also be used, applying a diluted fertilizer once a month.
The above is a detailed introduction to the best fertilizer for osmanthus trees and the correct fertilization methods. Do you understand now?
