In order to get a good harvest, gardeners use different top dressings. Often these are mineral fertilizers. But it is generally accepted that they are harmful to the body. This happens when mineral fertilizers are used ineptly. Why do many people prefer Aquarin fertilizer?
What to consider when choosing a fertilizer
Fertilizers are applied to the soil in order to:
- increase the amount of nutrients before planting plants;
- replenish the elements used by plants in the growth process;
- make up the missing substances.
When feeding, take into account:
- type of culture;
- stage of development;
- weather;
- the appearance of plants, which indicates a lack of certain elements.
Choosing fertilizer, you need to clearly know the main task assigned to him.
Usually they use drugs of the same brand, but for different stages of development. They are consistent among themselves, do not contain mutually exclusive elements. Fertilizer should not contain anything superfluous, the so-called ballast.
Take into account that instant fertilizers do not stay in the soil for a long time.
Mineral fertilizers must be applied strictly according to the instructions. Exceeding the dosage can lead to root burns. Such plants often get sick.
Fertilizer labeling
Each of the mineral fertilizers contains several chemical elements. At the beginning of the development of the plant, he needs more nitrogen, before flowering - phosphorus, for ripening - potassium. In order to be able to quickly understand its composition, the designation of the chemical elements is first recorded on the packaging, and then their percentage ratio. Indicate the presence of trace elements (Me). The sum of these numbers is usually less than 100%.
The remaining accounts for ballast. These are substances that are harmful or not beneficial. The fewer they are, the better the fertilizer. Therefore, scientists continue to create new species that take modern requirements into account.
This is especially true when growing seedlings or plants in pots and containers. After all, there is little soil, and salts cannot go further into the soil. The plant is forced to endure their impact.
So-called chelate fertilizers are very popular now. Often they consist of one chemical element, which is in a form convenient for the plant. Chelates are organic compounds in which, thanks to a special chelating agent, the metal ion is in soluble form. So he gets into the body of the plant. In this form, it is absorbed much easier than conventional salts of trace elements, which can create insoluble compounds. Because of this, their digestibility does not reach half the composition. At the same time, chelates are absorbed almost completely. They work both in soil and inside organisms.
Customer reviews say that one of the highest-quality ones is “Buisky fertilizers”, including “Aquarin” complex fertilizer.
Description
The concentrated means "Aquarin" is dissolved in water without residue. Trace elements in it are in a chelate form. It does not contain ballast, chlorine is not included in its composition.
On the packaging of such fertilizers must indicate the name of the agent. Each of them is designed for soil of different acidity. It must be taken into account when choosing fertilizers of this kind.
The stability limits of the agents:
- EDTA is used for acidity from 1.5 to 6.0.
- DTRA has a stability limit of 1.5 to 7.0
- EDDN is stable from 3.0 to 10.
In high-quality chelated fertilizers, all metals are in this form. After all, if only some are soluble, then the more aggressive ions of other metals will knock them out of the chelates.
Types of fertilizers of the Aquarin series
Aquarin (fertilizers) are designed for industrial use in greenhouses. There are 16 types of fertilizer with numbers from 1 to 16, which are intended for use in certain conditions.
In addition, among the fertilizers of the Aquarin series there is a common Vegetable and Potato. For flower care, “Flower” and “Lawn” are intended. “Aquarin Fruit”, “Fruit and Berry” and “Strawberry” were created to obtain a good harvest of berries and fruits.
Especially for seedlings take "Junior". "Color" contributes to the bright colors of flowers, "Coniferous" created for this kind of plants. “Super” - speaks for itself.
Mechanism of action
How does the Aquarin top dressing work? Fertilizers contain substances necessary for plants in such a way that they are easy to absorb. The composition of the drug, in addition to ordinary nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, includes trace elements necessary for plants, moreover, their amount is balanced. They do not settle in the soil, but are quickly absorbed by plants.
"Aquarin" (fertilizers) supply plants with the necessary substances, regulate metabolic processes, protect them from the negative effects of the environment.
Fertilize under the root or perform foliar top dressing by spraying the leaves and stems of plants with the drug. Perform processing in cloudy weather or during a period when direct sunlight does not fall on the plant.
So, we found out that Aquarin is a fertilizer. The instruction indicates the main directions of use of the drug. They can be adjusted to the requirements of specific plants. The manufacturer assures that “Buisky fertilizers”, each of them, can be used for different crops in different growth phases, taking into account the results of their functional diagnostics.
Potato application
When the potatoes grow by 15 cm and buds appear, the first foliar top dressing with Aquarin 5 is carried out using up to 5 kg of fertilizer per hectare.
If the potato variety is early, the soil does not contain enough phosphorus or the temperature is low, “Aquarin 13” is used (up to 3 kg).
After flowering, potatoes are treated with Aquarin 12 (up to 2 kg).
Vegetable processing
And how to use "Aquarin vegetable"?
During the period of active vegetation, cabbage is treated with “Aquarin 5”.
Beets, carrots are fertilized when root crops begin to form. Feed means "Aquarin 2-4, 12". The dose of fertilizer per hectare is 2 kg.
Fertilizer fruit crops
For fruit crops, from 2 to 4 treatments are carried out with a 1.5% solution of “Aquarin 5”. The number of treatments depends on the age of the plant and the number of fruits on it. The first is before the flowering tree, the second is after it. Then, as the fruit ripens, you can repeat the procedure a couple of times.
Vineyard treatments
"Aquarin" - fertilizers that are successfully used by winegrowers. The use of a half-percent solution of “Aquarin 5” in the vineyard helps to get rid of a disease such as chlorosis. It makes juice sweeter, improves other indicators. If signs of chlorosis are manifested strongly (discoloration of the leaves), foliar top dressing with 0.1% Aquamix solution is carried out.
"Aquarin Flower"
Fertilizing makes the flowering of plants bright, their color becomes saturated. Used for feeding ornamental plants, potted and garden flowers.
Indoor flowers - once a week; in winter, at rest, once a month. Liquid fertilizers are prepared by dissolving 20 g of the drug in 10 l of water.
Garden and balcony annual flowers are treated every 2 weeks with a solution of the same concentration.
Roses and perennials are fertilized for the first time after wintering, then every 2-2.5 weeks.
Bulb first feeding is carried out during the growing season, repeated 2 times a month. Fertilize the last time 10 days after flowering.
"Aquarin Strawberry"
Helps to get a high yield of tasty and large berries. Makes plants resistant to disease, rain, lower temperatures.
The first top dressing is carried out under the root, in early spring. It will help plants quickly grow leaves. Prepare liquid fertilizers at the rate of 25 g per bucket of water.
The second time spend foliar top dressing. This will make the berries larger and better. Take 10 g of fertilizer in a bucket of water.
Another foliar top dressing of the same concentration is carried out after fruiting. It is needed so that as many fruit buds as possible can be laid next year.
Application for coniferous ornamental crops
20 g of fertilizer are dissolved in 10 liters of water. Evenly distributed in the trunk circle. You can carry out up to 5 dressings. The latter must be done before mid-September.
Among all types of fertilizers, the real difference is that some are suitable for active growth, while others are suitable for fruiting. Therefore, for spring, Aquarin Super is more suitable, and for summer it is Aquarin Fruit.
Users recommend adding a wetting agent to the composition for spraying during foliar top dressing. It can be some kind of shampoo, detergent or wallpaper glue. Just need to soak it first and mix thoroughly.
Apply "Aquarin" in the evening. The weather should be dry. If feeding is carried out on a sunny day, then the moisture will quickly evaporate and the leaves will not have time to take advantage of fertilizing.
Of course, recharge greatly improves the conditions for plant growth and development. But they cannot fully replace natural conditions. All plants need to be watered, loosen the soil around the trunk so that air can easily pass to the roots.
