fertilizer application on Date Palm
Quick answer
If your Date Palm has fertilizer application, the most likely cause is: Nano-form nitrogen fertilizer at 60% of recommended conventional dose produced optimal Zaghloul date palm growth and yield — nanoparticles regulate nutrient release, enhancing uptake efficiency compared to conventional ammonium nitrate
Start here:
- 1. 1. Substitute conventional N with nano-N form at 60% of your standard dose
- 2. 2. Apply via soil surface for vegetative growth traits; foliar spray acceptable for other applications
