Prevent the use of chlorine-containing fertilizers because papayas are affected by chlorine. One week after transplanting your seedlings, apply 20 grams of fertilizer to each seedling. Use a phosphate-rich fertilizer.
Example, 12:24:12 (NPK).
After that, every two weeks, apply nitrogenous fertilizer in a large amount of 56 grams per plant. For example, 20:10:10 (NPK)
Potassium is needed for flowers and setting fruits, so use a fertilizer with a large amount of potassium as soon as you see that your plant has started to set flowers, an amount of 114 grams of fertilizer is needed, do this every month. Example, 12:12:17+2 (NPK)
NB: Apply foliar fertilizer with small NUTRIENTS including boron every month, Boron is an important fertilizer to get good fruits.
