Understand plant needs, fertilization time, fertilization method, fertilization amount, fertilization precautions, plant growth is inseparable from the nourishment of fertilizers. Reasonable fertilization can not only promote plant growth, but also improve plant yield and quality. What are the techniques for improving plant fertilization? This article will introduce you in detail to the five major plant fertilization techniques to let your plants thrive! Understand plant needs Before applying plant fertilization, we must first understand the needs of plants. Different plants have different needs for fertilizer, such as leaf-viewing plants, flower-viewing plants, vegetables, etc. Only by understanding the needs of plants can we carry out targeted fertilization. Fertilization time Fertilization time is crucial to the growth and development of plants. Fertilization should be carried out during periods of vigorous plant growth, such as spring, summer and autumn. During periods of slow plant growth, such as winter, the amount of fertilization should be reduced. Fertilization method 1. Base fertilizer: In the early stage of plant growth, applying base fertilizer can provide sufficient nutrients for the plant. The base fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer, such as farmyard manure, compost, etc.
2. Topdressing: During plant growth, topdressing should be applied at a timely time according to the growth conditions of the plants. Topdressing should be mainly quick-acting fertilizers, such as urea, diammonium phosphate, etc.
3. Foliar spraying: Foliar spraying can quickly replenish the nutrients needed by plants and improve fertilizer utilization. The fertilizers sprayed on the leaves are mainly trace element fertilizers, such as zinc sulfate, boric acid, etc. The amount of fertilization should be determined based on factors such as plant type, growth stage, soil fertility, etc. Excessive fertilization will lead to excessive growth of plants and even burning seedlings; insufficient fertilization will affect the growth and development of plants. Precautions for fertilization 1. Water before and after fertilization: Water before and after fertilization, which is conducive to the dissolution and absorption of fertilizer.
2. Avoid excessive fertilization: Excessive fertilization will cause plants to burn seedlings and affect plant growth.
3. Pay attention to fertilizer safety: Wear gloves when fertilizing to prevent fertilizer from contacting the skin.
Mastering the above five major plant fertilization techniques can help you better maintain plants and allow your plants to thrive. In actual operation, you also need to flexibly adjust fertilization methods based on factors such as plant growth conditions and soil fertility. I hope this article will help you!
