It can deliver the nutrients that plants need precisely at the right time and in the right place. This method solves some old problems of traditional fertilization, such as over-fertilization, uneven nutrient distribution, and environmental pollution. Through tools such as remote sensing technology, variable fertilization, and data analysis, precision fertilization can make the fruit size more ideal, the sugar-acid ratio more reasonable, and the yield more stable. At the same time, it can also improve resource utilization efficiency, reduce fertilizer waste and environmental impact. These changes not only improve the quality of the fruit, but also allow growers to earn more. Now, the precision fertilization technology used in bayberry is also increasingly used in the cultivation of other fruit trees. Nutrient management methods that combine organic fertilizers, inorganic fertilizers, and microbial agents have been proven to improve soil health, increase fruit tree yields, and enhance the adaptability of crops to climate change. Precision agricultural tools such as geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), and sensor-controlled water and fertilizer systems also help growers achieve more sophisticated field management and reduce resource waste. These practices can make orchards and other perennial crops more efficient and environmentally friendly, which is important for achieving the goal of high-yield and sustainable horticultural production. The combination of scientific and technological development and digital technology is critical to the future of the horticultural industry. Precision fertilization is a good example. It uses data to guide field management, which not only increases yields, but also reduces environmental pressure and makes farmers more profitable. However, to make better use of this technology, further research is needed, such as establishing accurate models suitable for various regions, increasing the possibility of use by small farmers, and deepening the relationship between nutritional signals and fruit quality. Finally, the integrated development of science and technology will promote fruit tree cultivation towards higher quality, stronger adaptability, and more environmentally friendly directions.
