Proper fertilization of vegetable crops plays a key role in the formation of high yields and quality products. Mineral fertilizers provide plants with the necessary nutrients, which contributes to their active growth, strengthening immunity and improving fruit characteristics. However, it is important not only to use mineral fertilizer, but also to correctly select its composition and dosage.
Balanced nutrition of vegetable crops helps to avoid problems with nutrient deficiency or excess, which can negatively affect the formation of the crop. Properly selected mineral fertilizers allow to achieve the optimal ratio of elements necessary for a specific type of soil and crop.
Essential nutrients for vegetables
Nitrogen (N) – provides active growth of green parts of plants, stimulates the development of leaves and stems. However, its excess can lead to excessive growth of vegetative mass to the detriment of fruiting.
Phosphorus (P) is a key element for the formation of the root system. Phosphorus mineral fertilizers improve the absorption of moisture and nutrients, which is especially important for tomatoes, cabbage and peppers.
Potassium (K) – increases resistance to stress (frost, drought), improves the quality and transportability of the crop. Potassium fertilizers for vegetables contribute to uniform ripening of fruits and the accumulation of sugars.
To provide plants with balanced nutrition, it is worth buying fertilizers that contain all the necessary macro- and microelements.
Nitrogen deficiency causes yellowing of leaves and slowed growth, phosphorus deficiency causes poor development of the root system, and potassium deficiency causes increased susceptibility to disease and poorer fruit quality.
An excess of mineral fertilizers is also harmful: for example, excessive nitrogen leads to the accumulation of nitrates, excess phosphorus can block the absorption of other trace elements, and potassium in large quantities can negatively affect the water balance of plants.
Among complex mineral fertilizers, a special place is occupied by Nitroammophoska - a balanced mineral fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in a form available to plants. These are universal fertilizers for agricultural crops, suitable in particular for vegetables, ensuring uniform development and high yields.
Tetra-Agro is a Ukrainian manufacturer of complex mineral fertilizers
Tetra-Agro is a domestic manufacturer of complex NPK fertilizers, which has been supplying farmers with high-quality mineral fertilizers for over 15 years. The company's production facilities are located in Sheptytskyi (Lviv region). The company offers 6 mineral fertilizer combinations with a balanced composition for various crops, including fertilizers for vegetables, which help improve their quality and yield.
The company not only produces complex mineral fertilizers, but also actively invests in scientific research, involving leading agricultural institutions for independent assessment of the effectiveness of its products. That is why Nitroammophoska-M was tested at the Lviv National University of Environmental Management (LNUP) to confirm its positive impact on the yield of vegetable crops.
How Nitroammophoska-M affects the yield of carrots, table beets and turnips
The results of LNUP research demonstrate that the use of Nitroammophoska-M contributes to an increase in vegetable yields.
Version | Carrot yield, t/ha | Table beet yield, t/ha | Yield of onion-turnip, t/ha |
1) without fertilizers – control | 41.7 | 32.7 | 27.3 |
2) ammonium nitrate (160 kg/ha) – background | 49.4 (+18.5%) | 38.3 (+17.2%) | 31.8 (+16.5%) |
3) background + Nitroamofoska-M (200 kg/ha) | 55.3 (+32.6%) | 41.2 (+26%) | 34.7 (+27.1%) |
4) background + Nitroamophoska-M (400 kg/ha) | 63.9 (+53.2%) | 45.3 (+38.5%) | 38.5 (+41%) |
5) background + Nitroamofoska-M (600 kg/ha) | 65.1 (+56.1%) | 49.8 (+52.3%) | 40.6 (+48.7%) |
Nitroammophoska-M from Tetra-Agro significantly improves the yield of vegetable crops, especially in combination with ammonium nitrate. The most effective rates are 400–600 kg/ha , which provide maximum yield growth. However, economic feasibility and agrochemical characteristics of the soil should be taken into account when choosing the application rate.
