Tips on applying nitrogen fertilizer

摘要

The successful use of fertilizers depends on several factors including: The fertilizer type, rate of application, placement, irrigation method, the kind of crop, the bed configuration, the stage of crop growth, the residual nitrogen in the soil and the weather. Of all of the factors above, placement of the fertilizer ranks near the top of the list in importance. If fertilizer is placed too close to the plant row, root damage may occur. If fertilizer is placed too far away from the plant row, the material is wasted and ineffective.
