In addition 100 g of N, 40 g of P and 140 g of K per vine are applied in two split doses in the months of May - June and in September - October. Slaked lime at 500 g per vine is applied in alternate years during May - June. The manures and fertilizers are applied around the vine at a distance of 30 cm from the base and incorporated into the soil. Azospirillum @ 100 g/vine can be applied one month after the application of chemical fertilizers.

Decomposed mulch is the main source of nutrients to Vanilla. Pruned vegetation must be dropped and applied as mulch. It is applied 2 to 3 times in a year. 40 - 60 g of N + 20 – 30 g of P + 60 – 100 g of K/vine/year are given in 2 to 3 splits. Vanilla responds well for foliar feeding.
