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.
Labor manual logs, and planting piquettage releases, little fertilizer and chemical treatment in the village plantations. Culture mechanized with lots of fertilizer and chemical processing in industrial plantations.
Cultures tanety. Date of next planting variable weight of discards. Weeding and hoeing frequent. Intake optional mineral fertilizer.
Tanety crops, low slope. Date of next planting variable weight of discards. Weeding and hoeing frequent. Without mineral fertilizers
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.
