剑麻可以在多石和几乎不适于种植其它作物的土层浅薄的土壤生长,因此,经常有人错误地认为这种植物一定不需要什么肥料。但是,只有在含钙量很高和养分供应充足的土壤,剑麻才能丰产。比如,在花岗岩或片麻岩发育的土壤或其它跷瘠的土壤,只有施肥以后,特别是施石灰和钾肥以后,才能获得满意的产量。虽然剑麻能在长期干旱下存活,但要高产时,除了土壤须有充足的养分供应外,还绝对 Sisal can grow in the shallow soil of stony and almost unsuitable for growing other crops, and therefore, it is often mistakenly believed that this plant must not require any fertilizer. However, sisal can be productive only in soils rich in calcium and adequate nutrients. For example, in soils or other barren soil where granite or gneiss develops, satisfactory yields can only be achieved after fertilization, especially with lime and potash. Although sisal can survive long-term droughts, it is absolutely necessary to produce high yields in addition to adequate nutrient supply to the soil
