Especially in stone fruit trees harvested early, the period from harvest to leaf fall is quite long. For the next year on the shoots, it is necessary to fertilize according to the age and yield status of the trees, during the period from harvest to one month before the start of leaf fall, in order for the formation of fruit buds and the formation of strong fruit buds and the resistance of shoots to winter cold. Whether irrigated with drip irrigation or with the classical irrigation method, post-harvest fertilization of stone fruit trees ensures that the tree develops and enters the next year vigorously.
It will be useful to give phosphorus and potassium fertilizers that do not contain nitrogen or have very little nitrogen to the crown projection of the trees irrigated with classical irrigation. The applied fertilizers should be mixed to such a depth that they do not cut the roots and irrigation should be done from behind.
In irrigation with drip irrigation, the fertilizers to be applied are divided by the number of irrigations. Due to the lack of zinc in our country's soils and the high pH value of the soil, it should be applied with an average of 1 kg of zinc sulfate per decare, and this should be given together with other fertilizers.
By sharing the soil analysis results with HDG GÜBRE, you can request fertilizer advice on post-harvest fertilizer types and amounts that should be given per decare or tree. Contact the HDF FERTILIZER officer to create a fertilization program by informing the age, variety, planting distance (dwarf-semi-dwarf) and irrigation method of the trees.
