What are the factors affecting the fertilizer absorption by plants

2019/12/17
In the plant growth cycle, the roots of plants are always in the absorption of water nutrients, and plants immediately absorb nutrients after fertilization, so the persistence of powder fertilizer is low, which requires multiple fertilization. The granular fertilizer processed by the fertilizer granulator machine has a long fertilizer effect. Of course, the amount and degree of fertilizer absorption have a lot to do with the environment, as well as the water solubility of fertilizer.

Nine factors affecting fertilizer absorption

1. The excess of nutrient elements affects the effect of fertilization.
The lack of some elements in plants will cause physiological obstacles and affect the normal growth, but if one element is excessive, it will affect the absorption of other elements, and also hinder the growth of plants.

2. The pH affects the effect of fertilizer.
When the pH value range is 5.5-6.5, the fertilizer effect is the best, for example, when the iron, copper, manganese, zinc and other nutrients are below pH value 6, the efficiency is the highest.

3. Different growth periods affect the performance of fertilizer.
The vegetative growth period is dominated by nitrogen, a balanced fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements; the fertilizer is mainly dominated by phosphorus and potassium during flower bud differentiation and flowering, which promotes root development and flowering.

4. Different physiological characteristics of plants affect the performance of fertilizer.
When using special fertilizers, corresponding other types of fertilizers should be used in combination with actual physiological conditions. The NPK fertilizer production line processes special fertilizers for different plants, so that the fertilizer effect matches the physiological characteristics of plants.

5. Different media affect the effect of fertilizer.
There is a difference in fertilizer formula between soil culture and soilless culture.

6. Different water quality affects the effect of fertilizer.
Acid fertilizer or soften water quality shall be applied in hard water area, and calcium and magnesium fertilizer shall be supplemented regularly in soft water area.

7. The time of fertilization affects the effect of fertilizer.
The best time to apply fertilizer is before 10 a.m. and after 4 p.m., avoid applying fertilizer under strong sunlight at noon, and avoid applying fertilizer in rainy days.

8. The type of fertilizer affects the effect of fertilizer.
In order to reduce the cost and improve the efficiency of fertilizer, we should use different formula of fertilizer in different flowers and different growth periods, slow-release fertilizer and water-soluble fertilizer, root fertilizer and foliar fertilizer. According to the raw materials and the required product particles, choose different processing equipment, organic fertilizer granulator, disc fertilizer granulator, drum granulator, flat die pellet mill, etc.

9. The imbalance of fertilizer content affects the effect of fertilizer.
Scientific fertilization is to promote the absorption of each element and avoid antagonism.
