So, immediately after the establishment of a positive average daily air temperature and the beginning of rapid melting of snow, it is necessary to feed the apple tree in a certain way.

If this is not done in time, the fruit tree will not produce a good harvest.

Ideal fertilizer for apple trees in early spring

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh reminds: during the period when spring is just coming into its own, a fruit tree needs a sufficient amount of nitrogen.

You can protect the plant from a lack of this microelement by timely application of ammonium nitrate.

Urea can be used instead of this product. However, ammonium nitrate is still the preferred option.

If you give the apple tree the necessary fertilizer, then most likely there will be no problems with the quantity of fruits and the quality of the harvest.

Earlier, summer residents were told why they should put peas in a hole when planting cucumbers.
