How much potassium dose required by a papaya plant?
Answers
Answer:
For papaya, fertilizers should be applied once in every two months. Although fertilizer application in a particular region depends on the soil and leaf analysis, generally 90 g of Urea, 250 g of Super phosphate and 140 g of Muriate of Potash per plant are recommended for each application.
Newly planted trees are fertilized after three months every fourteen days with 1/4 lb. of NPK fertilizer with magnesium. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are commonly called NPK. as the trees age they need 1 to 2 lbs. of balanced fertilizer every other month. Once a month the trees need an application of minor nutrients like manganese and zinc. Some growers recommend more frequent but smaller applications of the same overall amount. Fertilizer application is halved during winter months when the plant is not actively growing.
