Summary

Combined nitrogen-phosphoric-potassium fertilizers for flax, balanced out by the level of basic macro- and micro-elements considering biological properties of the crop.

Description

Fertilizer compound is protected by EAPO patent No. 007603 for inventions.

Technology type

Technical advantages and economic benefits

Combined nitrogen-phosphoric-potassium fertilizers for flax with microelements and plant growth regulators are balanced out by the level and correlation of nutrients, and are meant for soils with various levels of fertility.
Main benefits of application of combined fertilizers: all components (macro-, microelements and plant growth regulators) are enclosed in a single granule with most appropriate correlation of nutrients, are brought in one machine cycle, which reduces costs of their application, reduces thickening of soil, increases seed yield. Presence of micro-elements and growth regulators in fertilizers reduces negative calcium impact when growing flax on soils with pH exceeding 6.0 and increases resistance of plants to calcium chlorosis. The efficiency of new fertilizer types rivals foreign prototypes.
New fertilizer types with additions of micro-elements and biologically active substances on sod-podzol soils provide (light-loamy, sandy-loam and friable sabulous) an increase in crop capacity of flax seeds by 1 to 5 centner/ha, output of long fibres by 0.5-8.9 centner/ha (according to form of fertilizers and soils) as compared to standard mineral fertilizers.
