Instructions for use of Ideal fertilizer and its composition, pros and cons

Ideal Fertilizer is a universal concentrated fertilizer that has been popular with gardeners and farmers for over 20 years. This product can be used for vegetables, fruits, fruit and berry trees, and shrubs. It can also be used for ornamental crops. This concentrated product contains a significant amount of nutrients, which helps ensure uniform germination and increased crop yields.

Active ingredient and principle of action

Ideal is a universal fertilizer made from natural vermicompost. Its effects begin immediately, as its ingredients are in an easily digestible form.

1 liter of the preparation includes the following components:

• 5 grams of nitrogen – this substance is suitable for the active development of crops;
• 10 grams of potassium – an element that promotes fruit formation;
• 10 grams of phosphorus – the substance activates the process of photosynthesis and helps increase crop yields;
• 2 grams of humic acids – these are water-soluble microelements that are easily absorbed by plants;
• saline solution.

The product's pH is 9, making "Ideal" an alkaline fertilizer. Therefore, it's best used in slightly acidic or highly acidic soils.

The use of the substance helps to achieve a number of beneficial effects:

1. Increases seed germination and seedling survival after planting in pits. The product also accelerates crop adaptation.
2. Stimulate vegetative growth and promote the formation of large leaves. This improves respiration and energy storage. These results can be achieved through foliar feeding.
3. Achieve a well-branched root system with numerous hairs. This significantly improves the absorption of moisture and nutrients from the soil.
4. Achieve uniform plant development. They are less susceptible to stress, and therefore begin to form berries and fruits earlier.
5. Increase resistance to various diseases, including blackleg, late blight, and powdery mildew.
6. Extend the shelf life of fruits. They are less susceptible to rotting and other problems. This is due to the accumulation of large amounts of sugars and starch.
7. Enhance the appeal of ornamental plants. Applying Ideal fertilizer makes petals more vibrant and prolongs their flowering period.

Pros and cons

A complex containing active vermicompost is essential for crops deficient in key micronutrients. Nutritional deficiencies are typically caused by soil depletion, intensive tillage, and weakened rhizomes. Using Ideal allows for quick results.

The main advantages of the product include the following:

• increasing the percentage of seed germination;
• acceleration of seedling survival;
• activation of root development;
• awakening of tubers and bulbs, stimulating the emergence of new shoots;
• acceleration of ripening of vegetables, fruits and berries;
• obtaining more saturated flower shades and increasing the duration of their flowering;
• increasing crop yields;
• improving the taste of fruits;
• the ability to grow powerful foliage and strong shoots;
• increasing the shelf life of fruits and vegetables.

Systematic application of this product helps improve the structure and quality of the soil. This is especially true for heavy clay soils or severely depleted soils.

However, “Ideal” also has some disadvantages:

• impossibility of application on chernozems and other rich, well-structured soils;
• the need to apply additional nitrogen fertilizers during active crop growth;
• unsuitability for systematic reclamation of severely depleted, degraded lands.

Purpose

Ideal is a universal fertilizer for personal plots, summer cottages, and houseplants. It can be used on various types of plants—vegetables, herbs, fruits, and berries. It is also suitable for ornamental plants.

Terms of Use

To ensure effective application, strictly follow the instructions. It's important to maintain the correct dosage based on the type of crop:

1. Vegetable crops and flowers. "Ideal" can be applied after planting the seedlings. After applying the fertilizer, the beds should be thoroughly watered. Apply the fertilizer every two months. Greens, radishes, carrots, and beets should be fed when the second true leaves appear. These plants should be fertilized foliarly, every 15 days.
2. Ornamental plants and berry bushes. They should be fertilized for the first time immediately after winter recovery. For this purpose, apply a 10% concentration of Ideal solution to the roots. Water the beds as needed. Apply 0.5 liters of the solution per mature plant. During the warm season, apply the solution once or twice a month.
3. Fruit trees. These crops should be fertilized in late March or April. To make a solution, mix 40 milliliters of the product with 4 liters of water. It is recommended to use 2-4 liters of the product per crop. During the budding stage, foliar application is recommended. The product is applied 3-4 times throughout the season.

Safety precautions

Ideal is considered a relatively safe product. However, it is recommended to carefully read the instructions and safety precautions before using it. When using foliar spraying, it is recommended to wear a respirator.

It is recommended to use special containers to prepare the working solution. Do not use food containers. After handling the substance, wash your hands and face thoroughly with soap.

Is compatibility possible?

The product is alkaline, so it is not recommended for use with most agrochemicals. This is because the working fluids are only stable in neutral or slightly acidic environments.

What to replace it with

The drug "Timep" is considered an effective analogue of the drug.

Ideal is an effective product that positively impacts the development of cultivated plants. To ensure the desired results, it is important to follow the instructions carefully.
