Nitrogen fertilizers are often used in agriculture for growing various crops. They are an important source of nitrogen, which plants require for proper development. The product "KAS" (marked 32) is an effective product that enriches plants with valuable nutrients. However, the product is effective only if the instructions are strictly followed.
What is included in the composition and preparation form of fertilizer
"KAS-32" is a liquid nitrogen fertilizer made from a mixture of urea and ammonium nitrate. It also contains a high nitrogen content. It includes the following components:
- 35% urea;
- 45% ammonium nitrate;
- 20% water.
It is important to take into account that this product contains several forms of nitrogen:
- Nitrate nitrogen is easily absorbed by the root system and helps plants absorb nutrients more easily. Nitrate nitrogen is present in the soil in a soil solution and moves easily with water. Therefore, it is quickly absorbed by the roots.
- Ammonium – absorption of this substance requires the connection of root hairs and the soil absorption complex. This maintains ammonium in an exchangeable state. Under the influence of changing weather conditions and biological processes, ammonium is converted into nitrate nitrogen in the soil.
- Amide nitrogen is absorbed by crop foliage. However, it is important for this substance to first transform into ammonium and then into nitrate. This allows the ammonium carbide composition to have a long-lasting effect on the soil.
KAS-32 is produced as a liquid. It must be stored and transported in special tanks.
Purpose
Nitrogen is essential for the healthy growth and development of crops. It also improves soil fertility. A sufficient supply of this nutrient in the soil helps achieve high yields.
Thanks to the use of the drug "KAS-32" it is possible to achieve the following results:
- accelerate the development of vegetative fragments of crops;
- increase the absorption of amino acids during fruit formation;
- saturate the tissues with liquid;
- activate the development of plant cells;
- increase the rate of mineralization of additional fertilizers in the soil;
- prevent the proliferation of pathogens in the soil;
- increase the compensatory capacity of crops.
The beneficial effect of KAS-32 is only observed when used correctly. Otherwise, there is a high risk of crop development impairment.
Terms of Use
There are two main methods of applying the product: root and foliar. In the first case, the product is applied in the spring when digging the area. The nutrient mixture should be evenly distributed over the area. It is important to strictly follow the instructions and not exceed the recommended nutrient application rate. Although the fertilizer does not contain free ammonia, it is necessary to incorporate it into the soil as little as possible. This is especially important during hot and dry weather.
Foliar feeding should be performed during the plant's growing season. It's done by spraying the leaves of the crop. This method should also be used when root application is impossible, such as during periods of frost.
The second application is at the mid-tillering stage. The recommended dosage is 150 liters of nutrient solution per hectare. The maximum dosage is in the fall. In this case, 250 liters of working solution is applied per hectare.
The dosage of fertilizer is directly influenced by the type of crop being grown:
- To treat cereals before planting, 80 kilograms of the solution are required per hectare. For subsequent treatments, 20 kilograms of the solution are required. The third application is an aqueous solution with a concentration of 5-8%.
- To fertilize sugar beets, it is recommended to use 100-120 kilograms of fertilizer per 1 hectare.
- To treat potatoes, 60 kilograms of the product per hectare are required. It is recommended to apply the product before planting.
- To fertilize corn, apply 40 kilograms of the product per hectare. Apply before the shoots emerge.
Safety precautions
To ensure that the introduction of the product does not lead to negative health consequences, it is important to adhere to a number of rules:
- Use specialized sprayers and pumps. They must be resistant to chemicals.
- Thoroughly wash tanks and containers that contained fertilizer.
- When watering sensitive plants, use extension hoses. They will help prevent the solution from getting on the foliage.
- When working with the substance, use personal protective equipment.
- Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mouth.
- Do not allow the substance to enter the respiratory tract.
If symptoms of intoxication appear after handling the substance, consult a doctor immediately. Self-medication is contraindicated in this case, as it may lead to negative consequences.
Is compatibility possible?
Nitrogen fertilizer can be combined with pesticides in tank mixes. It also works well with products containing micronutrients. This helps reduce the number of treatments and lowers costs.
How and how long to store
The product is recommended to be stored in rigid containers or flexible containers. They should be filled no more than 80% full. The product can be stored at any temperature, but the optimal temperature is 16-18 degrees Celsius.
What to replace it with
The following may be analogs of this drug: Plantafol, KAS-M, KAS-30.
KAS-32 is an effective product that saturates plants with nitrogen and promotes their full development. To ensure the desired effect, it is important to follow the instructions carefully.
