1. Before planting - Soil testing and basal fertilizer:
Before planting, the soil fertility should be tested, and the amount of basal fertilizer should be adjusted accordingly. It is recommended to apply 10 tons of compost per hectare. The recommended fertilization rates (kg/ha) for the three elements are nitrogen (N) 110-150, phosphorus (P) 210-250, and potassium (K) 160-200.
The amount of basal fertilizer is determined basal on the EC (1:5) value of the soil, as well as the concentration of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K):
EC > 0.4: No need to apply basal fertilizer.
0.4 > EC > 0.3: Apply 1/4 less than the normal amount of basal fertilizer.
0.3 > EC > 0.2: Apply 1/2 less than the normal amount of basal fertilizer.
0.2 > EC > 0.1: Apply the normal amount of basal fertilizer.
EC < 0.1: Apply the recommended amount of basal fertilizer.
Available phosphorus: 15-100 mg/kg, exchangeable potassium: 30-100 mg/kg
2. Vine Growth and pre-flowering period: After 3-4 true leaves have grown, at this time the primary root can help absorbing nutrients and water from the soil.
Root Forte 110 (Special for Rooting and Germination), can promote root system development without yellowing of leaves and strengthen new sprouts.
When the main vine reaches 30cm long.
Go Sprout 131 (Special for lateral budding), can promote lateral budding.
When the flower buds grow:
Full Energy 100 (Special for full growth period) can promote rapid growth of flowers and young fruits and prevent flower and fruit drop.
3. Young fruit stage: 5-7 days after pollination, when the young fruits grow at about the size of an egg, may need to thin them by removing some of the smaller fruits.
[KW Agriculture] Full Energy 100 can provide the nutritional needs during the fruit enlargement stage and prevent fruit cracking.
4. Post enlargement stage: when the surface of the fruit become netting, the fruit enlargement slows down.
Go Sweet 390 (Special for Increase the Sweetness of Melons and Fruits) and Ca Strong 801(Special for Summer and Water Retention) can be used for additional fertilization to provide nutrients for fruit growth, high levels of calcium and potassium can improve the tolerance to the environment and water retention, and quickly enhance sweetness and fruit quality.
5. Ripening stage: At this time the fruit size is no longer growing but continues to accumulate sugar.
During the safe harvest period, "SP01" can be used for disease control (Common diseases include downy mildew and powdery mildew). "SP01" is a natural plant protection material without pesticide residue problems and safety concerns. |
