Improving produce with Water Soluble Fertilizers

04 Apr.,2023

 

Water soluble fertilizers are known for having NPK formulas that match the crops’ needs completely. Water soluble fertilizers can be dissolved in water and it is easy to control the precise amount of nutrients available to plants. These fertilizers can be used in sprinkler or drip irrigation systems and for foliar spray to increase yield and improve quality of fruits and vegetables.

Various water soluble grade fertilizers can be used at different growth stages of crops either alone or in combination to improve the crop productivity.

The advantages of using Water Soluble NPK formula fertilizers are:

  • Water soluble fertilizers are efficiently absorbed by plants and nutrient’s are available more rapidly than conventional fertilizers
  • Significant amount of recommended dose of fertilizer can be reduced by using balanced formulations of WSF.
  • Essential nutrients can be applied uniformly to plants by precise control of nutrient balance
  • Can be applied through irrigation water as well as foliar spray for quick absorption by plant
  • It reduces accumulation of salts in soil
  • Optimal nitrate/ammonium ratio 
  • Saves time and efforts in preparations 
  • No need to have a stock of many straight fertilizers, only two formulas 
  • Error safe, accurate composition of the nutrient solution 
  • No wastage and loss of expensive raw materials

In fields with a single-tank fertigation system, the two-stage fertilization programme is very common. In the first stage (from emerging to fruit set, the first two or three weeks), the balanced NPK grades like19:19:19 can be used. This formula will help the plants in becoming healthier and vigorous in the productive stage.

In the second stage (Productive stage) the fertilizer formula contains nitrogen-potash rich grade (13:5:26), that helps to achieve better quality and bigger fruit. Farmers usually split the weekly fertilizer requirement into 2-3 applications. In the days that NPK is not applied, the farmer can use the fertigation system to apply other needed fertilizers, like Calcium nitrate. Mono-potassium phosphate (0:52:34); mono-ammonium phosphate (12:61:0); potassium nitrate (13:0:45) are applied at regular intervals for sugar conversion and disease resistance.

The exact fertilization programme is determined according to the specific crop needs, soil and water conditions, cultivar and the grower’s experience.
