Fertilizer schedule
Use the stage cards as a planning checklist, then read country notes for local fertilizer language (rates are not prescriptions).
Mix compost into the planting zone; avoid raw manure against roots.
Light, regular feeding for young trees/vines; mulch to conserve moisture.
Apply main nitrogen and balance P/K based on leaf/soil tests where possible.
Support potassium and calcium for fruit quality; do not push soft late growth before frost.
Excerpts from CropWhen calendar notes that mention fertilizer, manure, NPK, or related terms.
Direct sowing-fertilization; basal dressing = 30 to 350T manure / ha, 170a 20 U of N / ha, 100a 150U P / ha, 200 to 250U of K / ha; Maintenance fertilization = 40 U N / ha after flowering, 40 U and 50 U N 15 k / ha 3 weeks after the first intake-iirigation = 3000à4000m3 / ha
Rainfed. Autumn tillage with Phosphate fertilizer application. Spring tillage with Potassium application and Nitrogen application at the time of land preparation.
Irrigated. Under plastic tunnel cover. Organic manure application at the time of land preparaion and NPK application at the time of sowing. Harvest date indicate beginning maturity.
Irrigated. Organic manure application at the time of land preparaion and NPK application at the time of sowing. Harvest date indicate beginning date of ripening.
The first harvest takes place 100 days after sowing and the last 150 days. generally makes transplanting (80x30 cm) on hill and marshes. The ririgation practiced in hill dry season (June-September or autajt times as needed). commonly applied organic manure and a little less of NPK

Traditional irrigation and drip irrigation. The cultivation requires relatively high daytime temperatures and nighttime low. Potted seedlings and / or live on the ground. organic fertilization and mineralle in preparing the land and mineral (NPK) on the cover.
Irrigation starts just after planting. It is usually done by a system of drip irrigation. The distance between drippers is 50 centimeters. Irrigation is controlled as a function of climatic conditions (pan class A). Water requirements amount to 300-400 mm depending on the region. The sprinkling and pivot are not suitable for growing melons (fungal diseases and grid fruit). Fertigation has become very popular everywhere in Morocco. This is a technique to generalize in all producing regions. Fertilization basal dressing is incorporated into the soil during the preparation work in October. For manure, the contributions are made at a rate of 30-50 tons per hectare. As for fertilizer mineral inputs, they are made at 20 nitrogen units, 100 units and 50 units of P205 K20. The top dressing begins just after the restart of the plants. It is made in conjunction with irrigation water on a schedule taking into account the stages of plant development. This includes the following manure fertilizer: KAS 400 kg MAP 100 kg potassium sulfate 200 kg potassium nitrate 300 kg Calcium nitrate 100 kg and trace elements (complésal red and green).
Follow the stage cards above (soil prep → planting → mid-season). Exact rates depend on soil tests and local packages — FAO notes below show how growers describe fertilization in different countries.
Treat them as historical/field guidance, not a prescription for your plot. Units and products differ by country. Confirm with agricultural extension before applying.
Not a fertilizer prescription. Over-application wastes money and can harm plants and waterways. Follow local extension packages.
