Mineral fertilizers are inorganic compounds, primarily salts, which contain a certain set of macro and microelements, which are necessary for intensive growth and development of plants. Systematic and uniform application will significantly affect the soil: stimulation of microbiological processes, replenishment of the balance of nutrients and nutrients.
Min fertilizers are divided into simple – one nutrient element (for example, N, P, K), complex – two or more elements (for example, NP, PK, NPK), and microfertilizers.
1. Simple mineral fertilizers:
- Nitrogens (ammonium nitrate, ammonium, sodium and calcium nitrates, ammonium sulfate, >urea) – are especially important for plants at the beginning of the growing season or the spring awakening of winter crops, have the greatest impact on productivity, namely on the formation of organic substances and vegetative mass.
- Phosphorine (superphosphate) – normalize metabolic processes, the growth of the root system, which leads to better assimilation of all nutrients.
- Potassium (potassium chloride, potassium sulfate, potassium salt) – the greatest need is felt on soils with a light granulometric composition. Potassium affects the physiology of plants, participating in the distribution of water and enzymatic processes.
2.Complex mineral fertilizers provide the culture with two or three nutrients at once (amophos, potassium nitrate , sulfoamofos)
3. Microfertilizers (usually sulfates or chelates B, Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo)
There are different ways of applying fertilizers:
- Main or pre-sowing – is carried out in autumn or spring, depending on the technology or weather conditions, but before the crop is sown.
- Inline or inline – fertilizer can be applied directly to the row or next to the row. Fertilizers with well-calibrated granules are usually used, and they contain readily available forms of nutrients.
- Feeding by vegetation – introduction is possible both as a granule and as a solution on the leaf, it is carried out in periods when plants especially feel the lack of nutrients.
Before buying mineral fertilizers, it should be taken into account that oversaturation of one of the nutrients can lead to negative consequences. Therefore, you should first conduct an audit of the soil and consult with specialists, they will help you choose an effective simple fertilizer or a complex one, observing the necessary proportions of all elements. Prices for mineral fertilizers are prone to significant fluctuations, because they largely depend on the price of natural gas (especially nitrogen), so we, as nutrition experts, advise you to buy mineral fertilizers before the start of the season and their active use, because the decrease in demand, the decrease in the price of energy carriers , will enable you to purchase a quality product at an acceptable price for you. Understanding that the price of fertilizer can change by 10%-20% or even 50% in a matter of days can save you money and fully reveal the economic potential of your crop.
So, you can buy mineral fertilizers from one of the leaders in plant nutrition – of the company MAKOSH, whose assortment includes a wide selection of both mineral and fertilizers for foliar feeding and fertigation. Fertilizers are always at prices acceptable to the client, because deliveries are made directly from the manufacturing plant. The products in the line are always of European quality, which have passed inspection and certification in the best laboratories of the European Union. And our expert agronomists will help you choose a fertilizer that will be ideal for your farm.
