Complex NP and NPK fertilizers

The complex NP and NPK fertilizers, with a balanced nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) formula, enriched with other main nutritious elements, calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and sulfur (S) and with microelements like zinc (Zn) and boron (B), guarantee fertilization rich in nutritious substances, with direct results in increasing and improving crop quantity and quality.

MINERAL NUTRITION OF PLANTS – PRACTICAL GUIDE


Nitrogen (N) is one of the fundamental elements of the plant’s life, being responsible for the development of the vegetative mass and of the root system, which are essential in yield growth. It has a major impact on the production of vitamins and organic acids and, implicitly, on the quality of vegetal products, by improving protein content and quality. Nitrogen (N) deficiency in plant nutrition leads to slowing or even stopping plant growth, yellowing leaves and the reduction of the foliar surface, drastically reducing yield per surface unit.

Phosphorus (P) is a particularly important element both in the initial phases of plant development and during ripening period. It ensures root development for young plants, shortens plant maturation period and increases plant resistance to stress factors. It is the key element responsible with energy storage and its transport to the cell. Phosphorus (P) deficiency slows the root growing process, the plants are small (signs of dwarfism), and the leaves have red-violet colors. It delays blooming and ripening, thus affecting yield and quality.

Complex NP and NPK fertilizers Potassium (K), one of the most important nutrients, controls the quality of the vegetal production through carbohydrates synthesis and accumulation. Additionally, it also controls plant water regime by diminishing plant sensitivity to drought. It is a determinant of important crop quality indicators such as flavor, color, taste, having a major impact on the storage period of agricultural products. Potassium (K) deficiency in plant nutrition leads to major growth and quality disorders, and is also a cause of relative water insufficiency. The leaves exhibit marginal necrosis and age prematurely, dry, and maturation is uneven.

Calcium (Ca) is an effective participant in building the structure and permeability of vegetal tissues and membranes. It ensures the quality of consumption, storage and industrialization of vegetal products. Alongside potassium, calcium supports maintaining cellular water balance and also cationic balance. It influences balanced plant growth and the vigorous development of the root system. Calcium (Ca) deficiency in plant nutrition is manifested by stunted growth, twisted young leaves, dried tips and lower drop resistance. The deficiency frequently triggers weak storage resistance and the emergence of storage diseases (especially in the case of fruits).

MINERAL NUTRITION OF PLANTS – PRACTICAL GUIDE


Magnesium (Mg) is an activator in the process of photosynthesis, acting as a central ion in the composition of chlorophyll. By improving the effectiveness of photosynthesis, it has a positive effect on yield quantity and, due to the products of this basic process, it also enhances crop quality. In the absence of magnesium, there are no green plants. Magnesium (Mg) deficiency in nutrition is manifested by a modification in nervure color from green to light green or yellow. Once this deficiency becomes chronic, it may lead to premature drying.

Sulfur (S) has an important role in plant nutrition, influencing vegetative growth, photosynthesis, cold resistance, wound healing, seed germination but also the quality of vegetal production due to the synthesis of sulfurcontaining amino acids and proteins, which are essential to vegetal and human metabolism. Sulfur (S) deficiency is manifested by young leaf yellowing, leading to slow and eventually stunted plant growth.

Zinc (Zn) is indispensible for plants. It activates the growth process in plants, it increases cold and drought resistance. A good zinc supply increases the content of tryptophan, a known precursor of auxin and is an important activator of enzymatic systems in which a multitude of metalloenzymes function. Zinc (Z) deficiency leads to lower yields, to an inferior quality of grains or fruits, to the occurrence of chlorosis manifested by yellow-white tinting in leaves. For fruit trees, zinc deficiency causes very slow growth of sprouts with small leaves in rosette. For grapevine, zinc deficiency causes irregular edges of leaves, discoloring between nervure and sprouts with short internodes. In cases of severe deficiency, plants acquire dwarfed stature with intensely yellow tips. Grapevine, corn and some leguminous plants are sensitive to zinc deficiency.

Boron (B) is essential to plants. It has an active role in the plant metabolism and prevents young leaf yellowing, kernel rot of sugar beet and inflorescence rot of cauliflower. It increases resistance to foliar diseases. It is the microelement with the most important contribution in pollen germination and viability. If facilitates blooming and fructification. Boron (B) deficiency causes chlorosis, twisting and deformation of upper leaves, stop of the plant growth and development processes. Boron deficiency also causes sterility in flowering plants and weak fructification productivity, especially in fruit trees, but also in other crops.

Kieserit

Some of the dedicated and balanced NP and NPK type complex fertilizers, were enriched with sulphur (S) and magnesium (Mg), extracted from Kieserit (natural hidrated magnesium sulphate). Therefore, it makes them suitable for acid soils, in comparison with other fertilizers in which sulphur is extracted from ammonium sulphate. Compared to ammonium sulphate, Kieserit has magnesium ( 16%) expressed in magnesium oxide and soluble sulphur ( 31%) expressed in sulphate and as it is a natural rock, is considered to be much more friendly with environment. Recommendation for application Enriched complex type fertilizers are the best choice for basic fertilization at the crops which need sulphur, such as rapeseed, sunflower and soybeans, but also for wheat, grape-vine, vegetables and fruit farming. Dosage must be performed in accordance with pedoclimatic necessities and the targeted yield. MINERAL NUTRITION OF PLANTS – PRACTICAL GUIDE


Enriched complex fertilizers

Microelements Microelements are essential nutrients as macroelements. NP and NPK type complex fertilizers are enriched with zinc (Zn) and boron (B) and enhance interaction macro/microelements, which particularly sustains the role and effect of each microelement present. Recommendation for application Complex fertilizers enriched with microelements are used for phasial application (extra application), in spring, at a wide range of agricultural crops and horticultural plants, the answer to using them being a significant one. They provide good results not only on crops which are big consumers of macronutrients (N, P, K, S, Ca and Mg), but also of micronutrients and sensitive to its deficiencies – sugar beet, potatoe, corn, sunflower, vegetables, fruit trees, grape-vine and flower species. Dosage must be performed in accordance with pedoclimatic necessities and the targeted yield.

MINERAL NUTRITION OF PLANTS – PRACTICAL GUIDE


Fertilizers with nitrogen (N) Fertilizers with nitrogen (N) provide plants with the most significant element which influences vegetal production growth – nitrogen (N). Without a proper supply with nitrogen, it’s impossible to obtain a good crop. According to the fertilization scheme, the application of fertilizers with nitrogen ensures, on the one hand, production growth and contributes to a vigorous development of plants, while, on the other hand, it improves the quality of yield by increasing the protein content. The quantity of fertilizers which is applied, must be correlated with the nitrogen requirement of plants and with the soil structure and composition, after determining the nutrient and humus content of soil. Grass land and hayfields, but also crops like sugar beet, corn, wheat, oat, barley, potato, grape vine, or apple or pear orchards, react very well to fertilizers with nitrogen.

Packing: The product is stored in carbon steel or stainless steel containers. Advantages: • Equipment for applying plant protection products can be used for fertilization with liquid fertilizer. • The use of liquid fertilizers implies a decrease of packing and handling costs. • It is incorporated directly in the soil together with irrigation water. Recommendation for application: It is suitable for application with corrosion-resistant hydraulic mechanisms, both in undiluted form, on stubble, with soil incorporation and in foliar application, with appropriate dilution of max.1,5 % active substance. It must be dosed in accordance with the pedoclimatic necessities and the estimated yield. Using liquid fertilizers for wheat, barley, oats Older technologies for nitrogen application together with crop residues and immediate incorporation, foresaw approx. 30 kg N active substance/ha, but under mineral form. In UAN version, with actual soils – more productive – ratio grains/straw 1,5 to 1 ( meaning that for a production of 6 tons grains with 4 tons straws and with 15 kg N active substance/ ha) it is necessary a proper quantity of UAN, with an intake of 60 kg N active substance/ha. www.azomures.com


It implies a uniform distribution of straws on the relative surface, a straw crushing at 5-7 cm and obviously, immediate incorporation in soil with a tillage at 15-20 cm. The effects are the following: • It counteracts the reduction of humus content from the soil. • Straws decomposes faster than in normal conditions. • In time, nitrates excess is prevented, their production being more temperate. • Humus mineralization speed is reduced. The technology is available also for the incorporation of chopped corn cobs, including stalks and leaves of sugar beet. Special application of UAN – 32% N fertilizer Before the first soil tillage, it is recommended to apply the quantity of 110-150 l/ ha UAN (liquid fertilizers with 32% nitrogen (N) content), action which facilitates decomposition of vegetable residues from the surface of the harvested soil. The liquid fertilizer which is applied and incorporated together with vegetal residues, ensures the nitrogen requirement needed for basic nutrition of microorganisms which are implied in the humidification process. These microorganisms interfere in the decomposition process of cellulose and lignin existent in the vegetable residues. This contributes to reduction of the phenomenon “ nitrogen hunger”, that may affect the humidification of organic matter, thus decreasing soil fertility. The application of 110-150 l/ha UAN on the vegetable residues remained after harvesting and their incorporation into the fertile soil, ensure the best conditions for their efficient humidification, contributing to a balanced fertilization procedure, starting from the moment of soil preparation for the following crop. This agro-technical method helps maintaining soil fertility and contributes to a great extent to the preservation or even increase of the humus content level. This creates basic conditions for agricultural activities which are at the same time profitable and sustainable in the long run.

Fertilization application methods

It is recommended to seek specialist advice before using mineral fertilizers! In order to make the most efficient use of the fertilizers, the method and the period of application are particularly important. Establishing the correct application method is a factor which determines to a great extent the fertilizer’s efficiency. Moreover, the inappropriate use of fertilizers may lead to unfavorable results. For these reasons, one must take into account a series of essential factors such as the soil type and its agro-chemical state as well as the optimal fulfillment of all technological conditions. The main task is primarily about ensuring that the nutritious substances get to the area of the active roots. One should take into account the fact that the depth of the plant roots and the edaphic volume which they explore differ from one species to another. Three methods are used, according to the application specificity of each fertilizer: • Basic fertilization, before sowing / planting; • Fertilization applied simultaneously with sowing / planting; • Fertilization during vegetation. Two methods are used, according to the application specificity of each fertilizer: 1. Spreading on soil or on vegetation, in doses which were established experimentally or by calculation. 2. Incorporation: • in bands, during sowing; • by fertigation; • after uniform distribution over the entire surface.
