VitaFer MACRO PK

Mineral fertilizer for the intervention and preventive supply of phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium. 

Density 1.24 kg/l 

pH 5.0 – 6.0 

Description

Recommendations for use: 

– is suitable for intervention and preventive supplementation of phosphorus and potassium deficiencies as soon as they become apparent. 

– guarantees balanced and comprehensive plant nutrition 

– supplies plants with phosphorus during periods when the natural uptake of phosphorus by the root system is impaired, e.g. by low soil temperatures. 

– quickly compensates for nutrient deficiencies 

– improves water management in plants and increases their tolerance to drought 

– increases the tolerance of plants to stresses related to the development of fungal diseases or pest damage. 

– stimulates the development of the root system and increases the absorption of nutrients from the soil. 

The role of potassium in crops: 

  • is responsible for the quantity and quality of the yield 
  • participates in the regulation of nitrogen uptake 
  • is responsible for the water management in plants 
  • contributes to building resilience to drought conditions 
  • promotes the development of the root system and the uptake of other nutrients from the soil 
  • increases the frost resistance of plants 
  • is involved in the formation of starches and sugars. 

The role of phosphorus in plants: 

  • improved root system development and increased uptake of nutrients from the soil 
  • improved quality parameters of the crop, especially starch, sucrose, proteins and vitamins 
  • improves photosynthesis and cell respiration parameters 
  • increases plant resistance to lodging, freezing 
  • reduces the negative effects of nitrogen over-fertilisation. 

Potassium deficiencies result in:

  • Inability to defend themselves against drought stress: plants lose their turgor and start to wilt
  • Yellowing of leaves progressing from the edges. Over time, the leaves wilt, turn brown and die
  • The plants are smaller, with a shorter and more flaccid stem
  • Delayed flowering, flowers are noticeably smaller
  • Limited ear and cob formation, poor grain pouring

Phosphorus deficiencies result in:

  • Slower growth of crops, dwarfing
  • Purple-pink coloring of stems and lower leaves
  • Slowing down of root growth
  • Reduction in foliation, weaker tillering
  • Greater susceptibility to fungal diseases and pest attack
  • Reduced yields of poorer quality

Dosage and timing of application: 

Attention: The fertilizer must not be mixed with calcium fertilizers and magnesium sulphate 

Fertigation – not to exceed a concentration of 0.3%
