"Master" fertilizer is a water-soluble combination product containing numerous microelements in chelated form. It is used to feed a wide range of crops. It is especially beneficial in alkaline and moist soils. It helps stimulate flowering, increase disease resistance, and improve seedling adaptation to new conditions. For the product to be effective, it is important to use it correctly.
Active ingredient and dosage form
The product is produced in the form of microcrystals. It contains several types of nitrogen compounds—ammonium, nitrite, and nitrate. This is necessary to ensure that crops primarily utilize nitrite and nitrate nitrogen and utilize it for protein synthesis.
Ammonium nitrogen has a long-lasting effect. It doesn't leach out of the soil or react with it. Therefore, plants can gradually absorb nutrients and avoid nutrient deficiencies.
Potassium is present in the fertilizer in the form of oxide. This element participates in sugar synthesis, which enhances the flavor of fruits. It also helps ensure the proper shape of fruits and vegetables.
Phosphates also exist as oxides. They activate the root system and stimulate its growth. When phosphorus is deficient, other elements cannot be fully absorbed.
Types of the drug and its advantages
One of the most common products is labeled 20.20.20. This indicates the proportion of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium compounds. It also contains iron, copper, boron, and manganese. Its pH is 5.1.
Other varieties of Master fertilizers include products with the following composition:
- 37.37 – for soil with a small amount of nitrogen;
- 0.46 – can be used to prepare a solution resembling potassium nitrate;
- 18.32 – applied at the fruiting stage;
- 6.18 – used during the period of vegetative development;
- 6.6 – used at the initial stage of fruiting for soil with a high potassium content;
- 10.10 – used for soils with low nitrogen content and high amounts of phosphorus and potassium.
Master fertilizers have the following advantages:
- ease of assimilation of components;
- balanced amount of nitrogen, magnesium and potassium;
- low salt content;
- the presence of magnesium, which helps prevent the development of chlorosis.
Purpose
The "Master" product is used for a wide range of garden and vegetable crops. It can be used on seedlings, grapes, and berry crops. It is also suitable for indoor plants, ornamental flowers, perennial trees, and shrubs. Each crop category has a unique formula designed to help replenish essential nutrients.
Terms of Use
Fertilizer is applied in various ways:
- For drip irrigation or watering from a hose, it is recommended to use 5-10 kilograms of the product per 1 hectare per day.
- When applying the product by foliar application, it is necessary to use 200-400 grams of fertilizer per 100 liters of water.
To achieve the desired effect, it is important to take into account the type of crop you plan to feed:
- Tomatoes: For these plants, use 400-600 grams of the substance per day. This amount should be used during the growing season and at the beginning of flowering. Once fruiting occurs, the amount should be doubled.
- Cucumbers: During the growing season, the crop requires 500-750 grams of the product per day. At the beginning of flowering, the dosage is increased to 1.25 kilograms per day.
- Grapes - during the growing season, 400-600 grams of the composition are added per day.
- Roses require 300-500 grams of the product per day. This amount is used throughout the entire growing season.
Take a look Also
When using the root spray, it must be applied with each watering. When spraying plants, keep the following in mind:
- Vegetables and ornamental crops in greenhouses should be sprayed with a solution at a concentration of 0.1-0.2%. To prepare the working solution, use 1-2 kilograms of the solution per 1,000 liters of water.
- When planting vegetable crops in open ground, it is worth using a working liquid with a concentration of 0.1-0.2%.
- For garden plants, a solution with a concentration of 0.25-0.5% is suitable. To achieve this, apply 2.5-5 kilograms of fertilizer per hectare.
- Industrial plants require a solution with a concentration of 0.5-0.75%. For every hectare of planting, use 5-7.5 kilograms of the solution.
Is compatibility possible?
All products in the line can be combined with each other. To improve crop development, Master can be combined with Plantafol. Viva and Radipharm can also be used in combination.
Master fertilizers also combine well with pesticides. Combining them with herbicides significantly increases crop resistance.
Storage conditions
Master should be stored in a dark, closed area with low humidity. The temperature should be between 15-20°C. Partial moisture reduces its effectiveness by 20-25%. Keep out of reach of children and animals. Under these conditions, the product can be stored for up to 5 years.
What to replace it with
The drugs "Plantafol" and "Nutrivant Plus" are considered effective analogues of the drug.
Master is an effective fertilizer that promotes the development of crops and increases their yield. To achieve the desired results, it is important to choose the right type of fertilizer and strictly follow the instructions for use.
