Optimize Fruit Crop Health with Seaweed Fertilizer & Advanced Nutrient Management

April 15, 2025

What is fertilizer

1. Fertilizer Overview

Fertilizer is a natural or synthetic substance that is added to soil or plants to supply essential nutrients and promote healthy growth. It typically contains key nutrients such as:

  • Nitrogen (N) – for leaf and stem growth

  • Phosphorus (P) – for root development and flowering

  • Potassium (K) – for overall plant health and resistance

There are two main types of fertilizers:

  • Organic fertilizers – made from natural materials like compost, manure, or bone meal.

  • Chemical (inorganic) fertilizers – made from synthetic compounds and minerals, often with precise nutrient ratios.

Fertilizers help improve crop yields, but using them wisely is important to avoid soil damage, water pollution, or harm to ecosystems.

3. Complete Guide to Preventing Cracked Fruit and Nutrient Management

In fruit tree and crop cultivation, fruit cracking and poor growth are common issues that not only affect the appearance and quality of the crops but also seriously impact market value and yield. The root cause of fruit cracking is often related to nutrient imbalance, trace element deficiency, and improper water management.

This section systematically explains the key elements for preventing fruit cracking, outlines nutrient supplementation plans for crops, and discusses scientific fertilization methods along with daily management tips for high-quality planting.

3.1 Why Do Fruits Crack?

Fruit cracking occurs when the fruit flesh expands too quickly and the fruit skin cannot keep pace with the expansion, leading to bursting. Common causes include:

  • Sudden irrigation or rainfall after drought

  • Excessive nitrogen fertilizer causing cell wall weakness

  • Trace element deficiencies (Boron, Calcium, Potassium)

  • Varieties with low resistance to cracking and improper management

3.2 Key Nutrients to Supplement for Preventing Cracked Fruit

Nutrient

Function

Deficiency Symptoms




Boron (B)

Enhances fruit skin flexibility, promotes cell division

Fragile skin, cracking, flower and fruit drop

Calcium (Ca)

Strengthens cell wall structure, improves fruit hardness

Soft skin, blossom end rot, susceptibility to cracking

Potassium (K)

Regulates water metabolism, controls fruit expansion

Low sugar content, uncontrolled fruit expansion, cracking

The Three Key Elements:
“Supplement Boron to Protect Skin, Supplement Calcium to Strengthen Cells, Supplement Potassium to Regulate Water Pressure!”

3.3 Fertilization Recommendations for Preventing Cracked Fruit

Boron Fertilizer

  • Recommended Products: Borax, chelated boron, boron-containing water-soluble fertilizers

  • Spray Concentration: 0.1%–0.2%

  • Timing: From fruit expansion to the color-changing stage, spray every 7-10 days

Calcium Fertilizer

  • Products: Calcium nitrate, calcium chloride, or other water-soluble calcium

  • Application: Spray in the early morning or late evening to avoid sunburn; apply multiple times as calcium is immobile in plants

Potassium Fertilizer

  • Products: Potassium sulfate-based compound fertilizers or water-soluble potassium fertilizers

  • Application: Apply during the late fruit expansion phase, while controlling the nitrogen-potassium ratio
