China has superior natural conditions and is suitable for the growth of fruit trees. It is a big fruit producing country. The cultivation area and yield of fruit trees rank first in the world all year round. Fruit industry is not only the third largest agricultural planting industry after grain and vegetable, but also the main industry to increase farmers income. Fertilization of fruit trees is a key link in orchard production. The quality of fertilization directly affects the nutrient absorption of fruit trees. Rational fertilization is an important measure to ensure the high, stable and increasing yield of fruit trees. The main forms of fertilization in orchard include depth application of basefertilizer, top dressing of soil, foliar spraying and trunk coating. Among them, the application amount of basefertilizer accounts for more than 70% of the total amount of fertilization in the whole year, which is the most important stage affecting the yield and quality of fruit trees. Mechanization of basefertilizer application is an important embodiment of mechanization level of orchard production and management. The agronomic requirements and development of orchard basefertilizer mechanization were comprehensively analyzed, and the typical machinery and its technical parameters and characteristics of the basefertilizer fertilization equipment in China and foreign developed countries were emphatically elaborated. Combined with the basic agricultural situation and the actual situation of orchard production in China, the main problems to be solved in the development of orchard basefertilizer application mechanization in China were summarized, and the development trend of orchard basefertilizer application equipment was prospected. It provided a reference for the further development of orchard base fertilizer application equipment in China.
