To select a fertilizer, it must first identify the goals and targets fertilization. The question that often arises is "What is a suitable fertilizer for my plants?
Such questions often arise from people who wrestle with the issue whether the pehobiis plant ornamental plants or people
pambudi engaged in the business cultures of plant or agricultural commodity.
Many of them are still often dabbled in various kinds of fertilizer first. When is it appropriate to lucky and good, but it is happening is a lot of redundant.
Try is important but if not in Balance with the right knowledge the results will be in vain, because if the provision of fertilizer will result in even less appropriate plants will be dead.
Basically the same function with the provision of fertilizer nutrients to plants. But many people do not understand how it should be given fertilizer, so the fertilizer can be utilized optimally and not the maximum. Excess fertilization sometimes gives a negative effect on results.
Plant growth has three phases namely:
- The initial phase of growth / seedling.
- Phase youth / development.
- Phase adult / proliferation.
All phases have
different responses to the application of fertilizer. That's why major steps to increase production is to know the needs and provision of fertilizer at each growth phase.
INITIAL GROWTH PHASE (seedling)
In the early phases of growth, plants need good media in terms of already available all the nutrients needed by plants to be immediately absorbed directly. in this phase has been completed with recommended media to be compost manure and organic fertilizer.
GROWTH PHASE (YOUTH)
In the development phase, the plants need additional foods that contain lots of nutrients N (Nitrogen).
its function is to trigger growth and leaf chlorophyll formation where this place is used as a kitchen to cook food nutrients.
PHASE proliferation (ADULT)
In this phase the plant is ready to flower and bear fruit so that more energy is needed in addition to growth are also in use for developments biakannya. Nutrient foods that are in need is that many contain elements of P (Phosfor) and K (Potassium). Its function is to strengthen the flowers and fruits that are not easily wither and fall off.
At each phase, all nutrients remain in need. It's just that there were not as much on culture growth phase. Therefore the use of fertilizers that contain complete nutrition should still be given in each phase.
To be effective and efficient provision of fertilizer, application of fertilizer needs to look at, for example fertilizer yes ... given root into the ground near the roots, so too for ya foliar fertilizer sprayed onto the surface of the leaves especially beneath the leaves because that's where the stomata (mouths the leaves) become more absorbed .
Often times the way of fertilizer use is not in line with expectations, therefore it is but read the label or packaging of nutritional elements haranya, note also the use and manner of application, for plants to grow optimally. Choose a fertilizer that is haranya already contained all the elements in it and how its application is easy,so do not bother.
