nutrition fertilization on Date Palm
Quick answer
If your Date Palm has nutrition fertilization, the most likely cause is: Nano nitrogen fertilizers (50% N) at 20-40% of recommended dose achieve comparable or superior growth and productivity in date palms versus conventional ammonium nitrate at 100% dose, due to enhanced nutrient use efficiency from regulated nutrient release.
Start here:
- 1. 1. Apply nano-N fertilizer at 400g/palm (40% of 1000g conventional dose)
- 2. 2. For conventional: apply 3kg ammonium nitrate (33.5% N) per palm annually
