Different fertilizers should be selected according to the type of vegetables, leaves should be more nitrogen fertilizer, fruits and vegetables should be added higher potash fertilizer. Usually planting should be fertilized at the foot first, and the fertilizer should be slow-release fertilizer. During its growing period, appropriate follow-up fertilizer is needed, usually applying urea or water-soluble fertilizer, which is more easily absorbed. In addition, be sure to control the amount of fertilizer to avoid causing damage to the fertilizer. Good vegetables can only be grown with good fertilizer, but vegetable fertilization is a tedious job. While there are many technical summaries available online, the actual application may not be as good as you think. Friends who care about me know that we have been growing vegetables for more than ten years, mainly doing greenhouse vegetable farming and some family vegetables.
One, with what fertilizer
Growing vegetables fertilizer should be differentiated according to the different types of vegetables. For leafy vegetables, generally use nitrogen fertilizer, fruit vegetables to use high potassium fertilizer. In addition, the choice of base fertilizer and follow-up fertilizer is also different. Base fertilizer should be long-lasting slow-release fertilizer, commonly used potassium sulfate, fertilizer to urea or water-soluble fertilizer-based.
Second, how to fertilize
1. base fertilizer: to vegetable base fertilizer is usually carried out before planting. Applying fertilizer to the soil surface and then mixing it into the soil through deep tilling can reduce the loss caused by volatilization and at the same time provide better nutrients. For home potted plants, you can spread the base fertilizer in the innermost part of the pot before adding soil.
2. Follow-up fertilizer:Any vegetable needs to be supplemented with nutrients during the growing period, so it should be properly fertilized. Liquid fertilizer can be used as chasing fertilizer, granular fertilizer can also be used. Liquid fertilizer can be poured directly into the soil, and if it is a foliar fertilizer, it should be sprayed on the leaves. Granular fertilizer needs to be dug out of the soil and buried inside. If planting on a large scale, it can also be sprinkled directly on the surface of the soil.
Three, precautions
When planting vegetables, you must control the amount of fertilizer fertilizer. If excessive fertilization, it is easy to form fertilizer damage, burn the plant root system, resulting in its poor growth. In addition, fertilization every other day watering, more conducive to the absorption of fertilizer, accelerate plant development.
