The secret to a rich apple harvest: this is what the first feeding should be
Do you want to pick more apples next summer season?
Then feed the apple tree correctly immediately after the buds awaken!
In mid-spring, the fruit tree will need certain substances and elements.
If the deficiency of these components is replenished, the plant will acquire protection from a number of diseases and will bear fruit normally.
So, what should be the first feeding of the season for an apple tree?
This question was answered by an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
How to feed an apple tree in April
After the buds awaken, the plant will need to be fed with urea.
If we are talking about an apple tree that is less than 3 years old, then 30 grams of urea should be applied per square meter.
But if the tree has long since “learned” to bear fruit, then the consumption should be increased to 50 grams.
Have you added fertilizer? Then water the plant generously!
Urea is good because it is a source of nitrogen, which is easily absorbed by the apple tree.
There will be no problems with the growth of green mass. In addition, the flora representative will acquire protection from scab and other dangerous diseases.
If you continue to feed the apple tree correctly (ash and ammophoska in May, boric acid and copper sulfate at the beginning of summer, etc.), you will get a bountiful harvest.
