Avocado culture method

Illumination

Avocado likes light. The environment of high temperature and humidity can make it grow rapidly, and it is not resistant to cold. It can grow in partial shade, but it is most suitable to grow in a place with sufficient light

Soil

Avocado trees have strong adaptability to soil and like to grow in soil with good drainage

Watering

Avocado trees are very sensitive to soil drought. Lack of water will lead to falling leaves and fruits. It is necessary to keep the soil of roots moist all year round. Watering should be sufficient, but excessive watering should be avoided. Root rot will be exacerbated when the soil is too wet. Sprinkler irrigation or drip irrigation can be used. Pay attention to drainage in rainy season

Fertilization

Fertilizer should be applied reasonably within 1-4 years after avocado planting to promote the rapid growth of young trees. The type and quantity of fertilization should be determined according to the soil fertility, tree age, plant growth and fruit bearing

In the young tree stage, the root system is easy to be damaged by nitrogen fertilizer. Excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer will make the branches and leaves grow excessively and delay the fruiting stage; In autumn and winter, we should stop applying nitrogen fertilizer and apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to avoid winter shoot cold damage in frost areas< span>
