Summer residents apply fertilizers to their beds mainly in spring and autumn. In summer, they mainly feed garden plants and shrubs.
But gardeners are reminded that fruit trees also need fertilizer in the summer.
We will tell you what additives need to be added to cherry trees in the summer.
Why feed cherries in summer
The procedure does not simply increase the fruiting period.
Fertilizers mainly allow fruits to form actively and correctly.
How to feed cherries
To improve the yield qualitatively and quantitatively, it is necessary to add two macroelements – potassium and phosphorus.
You also need to know that feeding is carried out in two stages.
First summer feeding
The first stage takes place in June.
It is recommended to use mineral fertilizers - ammophoska.
But you can add herbal infusion, humus or compost.
Second summer feeding
It is carried out in August, when the buds of the future harvest begin to form.
Superphosphate is used as a mineral fertilizer, and wood ash as a natural additive.
If you use foliar feeding, you should use an infusion of iron sulfate.
This will protect the tree from pests and at the same time increase immunity.
