03 Feb 2025

Fertilizing to stimulate the flower buds is a phase that helps custard apple trees produce evenly sized fruits, with smooth skins and beautiful coloring. So, have farmers fully understood the fertilization phase and the right fertilizer to help stimulate custard apple flower buds? Let's find out with Baconco in this article!

What Is Fertilizing to Stimulate the Flower Buds of the Custard Apple?

Fertilizing during the fruit spine-expansion stage of custard apples aims to continuously provide nutrients throughout the developmental stages of the tree. This fertilization technique is intended to stimulate the growth of the custard apple tree, resulting in smooth, glossy fruit skin, uniformly shaped fruit, and vibrant color.

The fruit spine-expansion fertilization phase is a crucial stage in the growth cycle of the custard apple tree, as selecting the right fertilizer and applying it at the appropriate time directly impacts the yield and quality of the fruit in the future.

Timing for Fertilizing During the Spine-Expansion Stage of Custard Apples

The appropriate time to fertilize during the spine-expansion stage is when custard apple fruits reach a diameter of approximately 4 cm. This is the stage where the fruit begins to grow rapidly, and spines start to appear. At this point, fertilization plays a crucial role in providing timely nutrients, helping the fruit develop comprehensively in terms of both size and quality. 

Specifically, when the tree receives adequate nutrients during this phase, the fruit has optimal conditions to develop well-rounded spines, thick pulp, sweetness, and a delightful flavor.

The frequency of fertilization during the spine-expansion stage is typically recommended to be 2 to 3 times, depending on the growth condition of the tree and weather factors. 

Each application should be spaced about 10 to 15 days apart, allowing the tree sufficient time to absorb nutrients between fertilization cycles. 

Regular fertilization not only ensures that the tree does not suffer from nutrient deficiencies but also supports continuous and optimal fruit development.

Additionally, to achieve the best results, growers should combine fertilization with essential nutrients such as Potassium Sulfate, Calcium, and Sulfur, while regularly monitoring for pests and diseases. This ensures that the custard apple tree remains healthy throughout this critical stage of growth.

The Importance of Fertilizing to Stimulate the Flower Buds of Custard Apple

Fertilizing to stimulate the flower buds is an important stage in custard apple tree care, helping the tree grow vigorously and achieve high yields. 

During this time, the tree needs to be supplied with abundant nutrients to ensure the fruits develop evenly, have firm skins, and attractive colors. Here are the benefits of fertilizing to stimulate the flower buds of custard apple trees:

  • Provides adequate nutrients: Supplementing essential nutrients like potassium and calcium helps the fruits develop evenly, have thick skins, and prevent cracking, resulting in aesthetically pleasing products.
  • Improves fruit quality: Custard apple fruits will have a rich, sweet flavor, characteristic aroma, and better shelf life, which helps increase commercial value.
  • Increases yield: Fertilizing stimulates the tree to produce more fruits, which are larger and more uniform, ensuring optimal productivity for the harvest.
