After flowering, the drain loses the tone. All forces went to buds, and there is no longer enough energy. The tree freezes, the leaves turn pale, the ovaries fall. June top dressing is not a seasonal whim, but the most important stage of care. Without it, you can lose the crop even before its appearance.
First step: restoration of forces
As soon as the plum has faded, the solution is prepared. Two tablespoons of urea and the same amount of potassium salt are diluted in 10 liters of water. One adult tree requires about three buckets. This will help to make up for lost resources and stimulate further growth.
When the first fruits appear
Small ovaries are not a risk to the crop. So that the fruits do not scorch and begin to pour, the tree again needs food. During this period, it is important to support it in a timely manner and correctly.
Second top dressing: for size and taste
Three tablespoons of nitrofoski and 3 tablespoons of urea should be added to a bucket of water. Two buckets for each tree are enough. This mixture activates growth, gives the fruits juices and sweetness, improves the quality of the crop.
Wet soil – prerequisite
You can not make fertilizers into dry land. This will lead to burns of the roots. The day before feeding, the trunk circle is abundantly watered. Only in moist soil, nutrients are absorbed without harm to wood.
Inaction: risks of consequences
The feeding of top dressing will lead to sad consequences. The ovaries will fall, the fruits will remain small and tasteless, the crop will be scarce. All this can be prevented if you pay attention to the tree right now.
You need to act quickly
June is the key month. It solves the fate of the future crop. You have only a few days to change everything in your favor.
