For proper life, any plants need to be replenished. The main sources of strength for them are phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium. It is these main components that Amofoska fertilizer contains. Next, consider what this nutrient mixture is.
Basic information
Ammofoska is a so-called triple fertilizer. It is used for almost all types of plants both in open and in closed ground. The composition as the main components of the mixture includes phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium. Sulfur and magnesium act as additional substances. The three main components of fertilizer are included in it in equal mass fractions. Amofoska fertilizer does not contain chlorine and sodium, which cause an elevated level of salts, which negatively affects the yield of the plant. The method of production of the mixture allows you to attribute it to complex compounds. The nutrients that Amofoska fertilizer contains are present in the following concentrations: nitrogen - 12%, sulfur - 14%, potassium and phosphorus - 15% each. The latter is the main source of nutrients. In addition, phosphorus contributes to the rapid and proper growth of plants. Potassium increases crop resistance to disease, and also improves the taste of fruits. Nitrogen contributes to high yields. With a sulfur deficiency, plants begin to wither and die. In this regard, sulfur must be present in nutrient mixtures. Externally, Amofoska fertilizer is a yellowish granule. Their size is from 3 to 5 mm.
When to apply Amofoska fertilizer?
As a rule, the main application of the nutrient mixture occurs during the period of pre-spring work, that is, in April. The next pre-fertilizing is carried out in May. In this case, a mixture of a lower concentration is used. In the period from June to August, seedlings are fertilized. And the agricultural season ends with the September main introduction of the nutrient mixture.
Mixture "Amofoska" (fertilizer). Application on different types of soil
Consider introducing a nutrient mixture into some types of soil:
- Black earth and southern soils. The properties of these soils are such that they do not acidify, as they are naturally saturated with organic compounds. That is why the effectiveness of the soil increases several times after fertilizing.
- Sierozems and chestnut soils. The absence of chlorine and sodium salts in Ammofosk fertilizer makes it ideal for these types of soil. And with abundant watering, plant productivity increases several times.
Ammofoska fertilizer may be applied both in diluted form and in dry form. In the latter case, it is mixed with the ground before top dressing.
Conclusion
Ammofoska fertilizer is recommended for all crops. So, it was revealed that when using this nutrient mixture, plants become more resistant, and their fruits are stored much longer. Also, productivity increases significantly, the percentage of dead seedlings becomes minimal. When applying fertilizer to the soil for ornamental plants, a high degree of flowering is noted.
