Application of ammonium sulfate in fruit tree cultivation

Ammonium sulfate is a widely used nitrogen fertilizer, especially suitable for fruit tree cultivation. It not only promotes plant growth but also improves the quality and structure of the soil. During the growth of fruit trees, rational application of ammonium sulfate has a significant effect on improving crop yield and quality.

Increase crop yields

The nitrogenous acid component of ammonium sulfate can be quickly absorbed by fruit trees, accelerating photosynthesis, thereby increasing the yield of fruit trees. Studies have shown that appropriate application of ammonium sulfate can increase the single fruit weight and overall yield of fruit trees by 15% to 30%.

Improve soil quality

Using ammonium sulfate not only improves crop growth but also improves the chemical properties of the soil. Ammonium sulfate can increase the nitrogen and sulfur elements in the soil, while improving the acid-base balance of the soil, providing a good soil environment for the healthy growth of fruit trees.

Promote healthy growth of fruit trees

During the growth process of fruit trees, they are affected by many factors. Reasonable application of ammonium sulfate can enhance the disease resistance of plants, improve the antioxidant capacity of fruits, and enhance the adaptability of plants to adversity, thus promoting the healthy growth of fruit trees.

Best application method

There are many ways to apply ammonium sulfate, and it is generally recommended to fertilize in the spring and fall. The principle of appropriate amount should be followed when applying. Generally, it is appropriate to apply 40 to 60 pounds of ammonium sulfate per acre. The specific application amount can be adjusted according to the soil nutrient test results. After fertilization, irrigation should be carried out in time to help the fertilizer be quickly dissolved and absorbed.

in conclusion

In short, ammonium sulfate plays an irreplaceable and important role in fruit tree cultivation. The rational application of ammonium sulfate can not only increase the yield and quality of fruit trees, but also help improve soil quality and promote the healthy growth of fruit trees. Therefore, as farmers and agricultural workers, we should pay attention to the rational application of ammonium sulfate to achieve increased agricultural production and sustainable development.
