Many gardeners have to enrich the soil on their site. Not all household plots in the country are located in the black soil zone. And the yield of plant crops largely depends on the fertility of the soil. Fertika Lux fertilizer appeared relatively recently. Today, mineral fertilizing is in demand both among private owners and agronomists. The drug based on pure raw materials quickly became popular.
Composition, release form and scope of application
Fertika Lux contains a set of substances that stimulate plant growth. Macroelements, the main one of which is phosphorus, are beneficial for most garden plants. Fertilizer is also used to support indoor flowers.
The mineral complex is produced in the form of small crystalline granules that dissolve well in water. “Fertika Lux” goes on sale in small 20-gram bags and large packs of 100 grams.
