July, second-best time to apply "Booster" to your Fruits, please keep in mind these fertilization suggestions.

Through years of practical tests: From late July to early August, a scientific, reasonable, and effective supplement of potassium to the fruits plant can “boost” the enhancement of its sugar and color, expansion of the fruit, clean peel, improve the taste and flavor, and increase the efficiency of its benefits, and a consensus has basically been formed. Potassium is not only a necessary element for plant body composition, but also a "transport leader" of other elements. Potassium is one of the most active elements among various elements. If potassium is sufficient, the utilization of other elements can be greatly improved.

This is because:

(1) Potassium can boost the transportation of the sugar.

The plant transports the sugar produced by photosynthesis to other parts of the plant for utilization or storage in the phloem. The transportation system of plants consumes energy. If potassium is insufficient, the transportation system will "breakdown", which will lead to the accumulation of photosynthetic products in the leaves, which will slow down the photosynthetic rate and inhibit the normal development of storage organs. Sufficient potassium supply can promote the rapid operation of these processes.

(2) Potassium can boost the transportation of water and nutrients.

In the process of transporting water and nutrients to various parts of the plant through the xylem, if the potassium supply is reduced, the transfer of nitrate, phosphate, calcium, magnesium and amino acids will be inhibited. Just like the role in the phloem transport system, the role of potassium in the xylem transport system is usually closely related to obligate enzymes and plant growth hormones.

Sufficient supply of potassium can ensure that these systems operate efficiently

(3) Potassium promotes protein synthesis.

The role of potassium in protein synthesis is closely related to the above functions. Among them, potassium plays a key role in transporting amino acids to protein synthesis sites, enzyme activation, balance charge and other aspects. Research shows that potassium is required for every major step in protein synthesis

Why need high potassium during this period?

After years of repeatedly emphasize, most fruit farmers already know the four crucial periods for fertilization of fruit trees.

The first stage is after the fruit tree germinates and before the flower blooms

This is the first peak growth period of the root system of the fruit tree. This time of fertilizer application is mainly to boost the growth of the root system, flowering, fruiting of the fruit tree, and the growth of new shoots. Nitrogen fertilizer with quick effect should apply this time. Those orchards with insufficient base fertilizer, weak trees, and poor quality of flower buds last September should pay special attention during this application of fertilizer.

The second stage to apply fertilizer is before flower bud differentiation

At this time, the spring shoots of the fruit tree have stopped growing, the autumn shoots have not grown, fertilizer application will not cause wastage but help the fruit tree to grow. This is a crucial period to apply fertilizer for fruit trees especially when the flower buds begin to differentiate, young fruit started to grow, there is a great demand for phosphorus during this period.

The third stage is from late July to mid-August. This is the period best for fruit expansion and of maximum nutrient efficiency which people talk about.

Everyone likes to apply fertilizer this period as the effect on the fruit expansion is immediate. The kind fertilizer to use is easy to select. We can judge the quality of the fertilizer by the fruit expansion rate and the taste of the fruits. This period requires more potassium fertilizer and a small amount of phosphate fertilizer.

The fourth stage of fertilization is at the end of August and mid-September, which is the best time to apply base fertilizer

Various methods of potassium supplementation

Currently, the weather has entered the hot period of the summer. This is the peak period where the apple tree requires a large supply of nutrients. For fruit development and flower bud differentiation, a large amount of fertilizer supply required. If you do not apply fertilizer or lack of fertilizer, the fruit tree is prone to premature aging.

First of all, we must ensure sufficient fertilizer supply

In the peak season of fertilizer supply for fruit trees during summer, the most effective way is to supplement fertilizer to both underground and ground together, to apply high-potassium water-soluble fertilizer to the underground. In some places, where the watering conditions are poor, you can use the method of fertilizing gun injection, which saves time, effort, and has quick results. Of course, it is an expedient measure to apply a certain amount of water.

In particular, July and August are the periods when fruit trees require nutritious. During this period, the demand for potassium fertilizer is the highest, the absorption rate is the fastest, the fertilizer utilization rate is the highest, the effect is the most obvious, and the effect of increasing production is remarkable. At this time, like the growing of the children, it is very important to apply high potassium water-soluble fertilizers.Spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer to improve the growth and the taste of the fruit.

Of course, some farmers will say that the early investment in fruit trees is too huge, they did not want to invest such a big amount.

Here, we suggest do not save this investment money. The period of fruit expansion is like the adolescence of a child. This is when the body and height growth. At this time, fertilization and nutrients replenishment, the effect is immediate.
