nutrient deficiency on Ficus Carica
Quick answer
If your Ficus Carica has nutrient deficiency, the most likely cause is: Full chemical NPK fertilization (100% recommended dose) produces maximum vegetative growth in fig trees because concentrated nutrients are immediately available for uptake by roots and leaves during active growth phases.
Start here:
- 1. 1. Apply chemical NPK at 10g urea, 8g calcium superphosphate, 6g potassium sulfate per fig transplant in early spring
- 2. 2. Split application into 3 monthly doses (Feb, Mar, Apr) for steady nutrient availability
