Mineral fertilizers have firmly entered our lives. They are used in the fields, in gardens and orchards, you can’t do without them, even growing seedlings or indoor flowers. “Agricola” is a series of complex mineral fertilizers that are used for growing berries, vegetables, flowers. They are distinguished by environmental friendliness and exceptional ease of use.
What is fertilizer
Soluble fertilizers “Agricola” are distinguished by high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and a wide range of applications. With their help, you can increase the yield of vegetables and berries, even improve the quality of fruits. After applying this drug, ornamental flowering plants form more inflorescences, lengthen the flowering period. Convenient forms of drug release contribute to widespread use. You can buy a liquid concentrate, which is diluted 100 or 200 times according to the instructions before use. Its use makes plants stronger, increases resistance to diseases, resistance to sudden cold or drought. It increases the energy of cells, is fully absorbed, stimulates plant growth.
Very successfully used for flowering ornamental crops outdoors and indoors. The dry concentrate is sold in the form of granules packaged in small bags (20-25 g), each of which can produce at least 20 liters of liquid fertilizer. These top dressings are used to increase the yield of vegetable and berry crops, to grow seedlings. Dry fertilizers have an unlimited shelf life.
It is easiest to use fertilizers produced in the form of sticks. 20 sticks of one package are designed for 20 plants. It is enough to stick them into the ground next to the root system and for 2 months the plant will receive the necessary top dressing. In addition, the use of this fertilizer becomes an excellent prevention of root rot. “Agricola” does not contain chlorine, does not affect the acidity of the soil, prevents the accumulation of nitrates by plants. Top dressing can be applied under the roots, simply by watering flowers or vegetables, or you can spray the ground part – the components of the drug are completely absorbed by all parts of the plants. Foliar feeding stimulates the growth of greenery, makes it stronger, increases resistance to diseases, pests, and adverse environmental factors.
On some types of soil, it is very difficult for plants to absorb any useful substances; saline, overdried or cold soils do not help, but rather prevent the absorption of top dressing by the roots. In such cases, nutrition through the stems and leaves becomes very relevant. Fertilizer contributes to the accumulation of vitamin C, and this increases the taste, useful properties of the fruit.
Agricola for vegetables
The manufacturer has created many varieties of its products, based on the needs of different cultures: there are separate preparations for nightshade, cruciferous, pumpkins, ornamental leaves, for indoor or outdoor flowers. For example, cabbage requires a lot of phosphorus, and carrots need more potassium, while seedlings need nitrogen most of all, because they need to actively grow. Cabbage is recommended to be fed with “Agricola 1”. A bucket of water should be diluted with 20 g of the substance, applied for the first time 2 weeks after disembarkation, then continue at the same interval.
Agricola 2 fertilizer is produced for garlic and onions. In addition to 11% nitrogen, 11% phosphorus and 27% potassium, it contains magnesium and other elements. According to the instructions, 25 g of the substance is diluted with 10 liters of water, applied 3 times per season with a 10-day interval. In Agricola 3, the percentage of the main elements is different: nitrogen – 13%, phosphorus – 20%, potassium – 20%. There is also magnesium and other necessary elements. This fertilizer option is designed for tomatoes, peppers, eggplants.
Magnesium contributes to the proper absorption of potassium so that the fruits grow large, tasty. For tomatoes, 25 g of the drug is diluted with 10 liters of water, 3 root dressings are carried out: they start 2 weeks after planting the seedlings, continue with the beginning of the formation of ovaries, finish after 10 days. The instruction recommends 2 sprays – a week after the first root dressing and one more after 10 days.
Carrots, beets, radishes are fertilized 2-3 times with Agricola 4. Top dressing should be stopped 2 weeks before harvest. All root crops can be fed with the same fertilizer 3 times starting from the very planting of the seeds. Cucumbers, zucchini, squash are happy to consume “Agricola 5”, created on the basis of azofoska. As everywhere, nitrogen and phosphorus take care of growth and timely development, while potassium and magnesium help to form ovaries and high-quality fruits. For cucumbers, 25 g of the substance is dissolved in 10 liters of water, top dressing is applied 4-5 times. The solution cannot be stored, so you need to accurately prepare for 1 application.
“Agricola 6” is used specifically for vegetable seedlings. To get a strong healthy plant, seedlings are watered and sprayed with a nutrient solution.
