They are compounds that contain one or more plant nutrients together.
FERTILIZATION
It is called the delivery of nutrients necessary for plants to the soil.
PURPOSE OF FERTILIZATION
It is to obtain more and better quality products per unit area.
Application Method of Fertilizers
Knowing the type and amount of fertilizer to be used in the soil is not enough. Increasing the desired benefit from these fertilizers
It must be applied at the appropriate time and in the correct way. Fertilizers are commonly applied in four ways.
Spreading
Don't Tape
Top or Side Delivery
Spraying
SPREADING
In broadcast fertilization, the fertilizer is either sprinkled on the soil surface before planting and then buried in the soil with certain tillage tools and then planted; or the fertilizer sprinkled on the soil surface just before planting is mixed with the soil during the planting process.
Fertilizers are given by spreading when it is not possible to apply them to the band. However, it is not desired to spread fertilizers that bind in the soil and reduce their usefulness.
DON'T TAPE
Fertilizer is applied to the band in a line with a seeder or a suitable tool. It is applied slightly below and 3-5 cm next to the seed.
This process is useful for plants planted in rows.
According to research conducted in our country and other countries, this method has been proven to be more useful.
Phosphorus uptake of wheat in fertilizer applied to the band is 47% higher than in broadcasting.
GIVING FROM THE TOP OR THE SIDE
After the plant germinates, it is applied to the entire field or next to the rows.
This fertilization, which is done while there are plants in the field, is done by spreading from above or from the side.
