fertilisation

施肥 /shīféi/

Agriculture | n. m.

A cultivation practice that consists in providing nutrients to the soil or directly to the olive-tree in order to satisfy its nutritive needs and bring back into the soil the nutrients that the plants progressively extract from it.

Example

Olive trees respond well to fertilisation and, since the 1970s, the use of chemical fertilisers has become increasingly widespread in most countries, even in many marginal, traditional types of plantation (for example, Crete and Cáceres case studies).
