Mineral fertilizers in Ukraine

Minerals form the basis of plant nutrition. They fill them with energy, which stimulates germination, development and reproduction. Plants absorb mineral reserves from the ground through their roots, which are converted into organic matter under the influence of ultraviolet rays.

Common types of mineral fertilizers

Mineral fertilizers are divided into simple and complex . The composition of simple ones consists of one element, and complex ones of several types of mineral particles. When the soil is depleted from constant cultivation, a small amount of nutrients remains in it, respectively, yields decrease. It is very difficult to determine which element is missing without a special analysis of the soil. And in order to replenish the reserves of minerals, you need to buy complex mineral fertilizers.   If you know for sure what substance the plants lack, then it is justified to use simple mineral fertilizers. Remember that there are no plants that do not need top dressing. The yield of any plants, from root crops to berries, depends on the quality of nutrition. For example, if you buy mineral fertilizers for potatoes or strawberries, then already in the first year of use you will notice a difference in the quantity and quality of the crop than before.

In addition to the above classification of mineral fertilizers, there is also an active substance.

The main types include:

1. Nitrogen - are introduced into the soil in the spring, the introduction of nitrogen is necessary to ensure that the plants can fully develop during the growing season. Nitrogen-containing fertilizers are common in ammonium, nitrate, ammonium-nitrate and amide (urea) forms.
2. Potassium - potassium-containing fertilizers are necessary for plants to accumulate sugar and starch, in addition, they strengthen immunity to diseases and make them resistant to heat and frost. You can buy potash salt or in the form of potassium chloride, potassium sulfate and take care of your crops in advance.
3. Phosphorus - phosphorus-based top dressing is very important when plants begin to throw out ovaries, buds, bloom and bear fruit. Superphosphate simple, double or phosphorus flour are indispensable for farmers who want to achieve excellent results.
