What spring fertilizer should be for blueberries: after these recommendations, you will be picking berries by the bucketful

As is known, with the onset of spring, plants, including blueberries, need nitrogen, which improves the flow of sap.

As soon as you notice the first buds on the bushes, start adding potassium and phosphorus without delay.

The first of them is responsible for the formation of resistance to diseases, while the second is nothing more than a guarantee that the harvest will be abundant.

With the arrival of summer, blueberries still need potassium, as well as other elements, so it makes sense to use complex preparations, which, among other things, include magnesium, calcium and sodium.

Important: do not overfeed the plant.

To avoid such a nuisance as an excess of fertilizers, apply potassium the first time, and later - a complex additive.

For a healthy plant, this set is more than enough, but if the blueberry looks weak, you will have to act according to the situation.

Finally, let us remind you: after the harvest is collected, be sure to use fertilizers with magnesium and zinc - they give the plant strength and promote quality rest before the winter cold, and also help prepare for the next season.
