Crop Overview & Recommendations

Overview

Rambutan trees require balanced nutrition to support healthy growth, flowering, and fruit development. Proper management of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium throughout the season ensures good yields and quality fruits.

Fertilizer Recommendations

  • Young trees: Apply balanced NPK in split applications during active growth periods.
  • Flowering stage: Reduce nitrogen and increase phosphorus and potassium for better flowering.
  • Fruit development: Apply potassium-rich fertilizers to support fruit quality and size.
  • Post-harvest: Apply nitrogen after harvest to support new growth and prepare for next season.

Application Tips

Apply fertilizers in a ring around the tree canopy, avoiding direct contact with the trunk. Incorporate organic matter to improve soil fertility. Time applications according to growth stages—before flowering, during fruit development, and after harvest.
