Composition and characteristics of Diammofosk fertilizer, use in the garden

Diammofoska is a complex of mineral fertilizers that are necessary for the full growth and development of any plant in the garden (fruit trees and shrubs, vegetable beds, flowers). All included components are combined with each other, they are effective and safe. The properties of the agrochemical are not affected by the composition of the soil; it can be applied both before planting and during subsequent fertilizing.

Description and characteristics

Mineral fertilizer is produced in the form of granules with neutral acidity, which contain a balanced ratio of all useful elements. After application to the soil, it begins to act almost immediately. If you are interested in the question: what color are the granules, then we can say that they are pink or red.

Complex fertilizer is produced in two main forms, each of which differs in the percentage of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium components. Suitable for use on any soil, especially depleted soil.

Mode of application

Diammofoska can be used for any garden crops.

• If the soil is cultivated, then the application rate is 20 g per square meter. m.
• Uncultivated soils require more fertilizer. Consumes 30 g per square meter. m.
• In a greenhouse, the soil is depleted faster, so the dosage is 40 g per square meter. m.
• For berry bushes it is enough to apply 15 g per square meter. m.
• For fruit trees apply 25 g per square meter. m.
• If perennial flowers are grown in the garden, then while loosening the soil, add 25 g per square meter. m.

The main period for applying fertilizing is spring, but it can be applied at any stage of plant development.

Composition and release form

Mineral fertilizer is produced in the form of granules. The active substance is represented by three components. The basic formula of the agrochemical is nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. The composition also includes additional microelements (for example, zinc, calcium and iron).

Phosphorus occupies about 24% of the total fertilizer mass. It is necessary for plants for normal development, but in its pure form is poorly absorbed. The phosphorus included in Diammofoska is equipped with oxygen, so when interacting with the earth, the granules begin to split into small particles.Oxygen allows nutrients to be distributed evenly and absorbed in sufficient quantities by the roots.

Plants especially need potassium during flowering and fruit formation. It promotes better supply of nutrients to the roots. In combination with phosphorus and nitrogen, it improves the taste and quality of the crop. The shelf life of the harvested crop is increasing.

Nitrogen helps to activate plant growth and form ovaries, gives vital energy and increases resistance to diseases and pests. The element is especially important in the early stages of development of a young seedling.

Advantages and disadvantages

DAPC is characterized by a large list of positive effects on the condition of the underground and above-ground parts of the plant:

• the effect occurs almost immediately after adding to the soil;
• can be used for any plant in the garden;
• improves the keeping quality of the harvested crop;
• suitable for any soil composition;
• the composition does not contain harmful additives;
• increases the quantity of harvest and its quality;
• ease of use;
• can be combined with organic ingredients.

The disadvantages of complex fertilizer include the chemical origin of the composition; it is imperative to adhere to the recommended application rates and observe storage rules.

Instructions for preparing the solution

Diammofoska is used not only in dry form, but also in the form of a liquid solution. The dosage of the component depends on the type of plant. Detailed instructions on how to dilute the components are available on each fertilizer package. Most often, you need to dissolve 1–2 g of the substance in one liter of water.

How to use it in the garden

The fertilizer can be used during the spring preparation of the land for planting, or used in the form of a liquid solution during watering at one of the stages of plant development.

If fertilizing is intended to be applied in dry form, the soil must first be watered. The rate of application of the nutrient composition depends on the crop being grown.

It is recommended to apply the liquid solution under the root in the morning or evening. It is worth protecting the green part of the plant from contact with the solution, otherwise it can lead to burns.

Nightshade crops

The nightshade family of crops includes peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplants. During the entire growing season they need additional feeding. Diammofoska is ideal. Fertilizer strengthens the roots and green part of the plant, increases the quantity and quality of the harvest.

During the spring preparation of the land, 48 g per square meter is applied. m. (in the greenhouse a little less - 35 g). When transplanting seedlings, add 4 g of powder into the hole under each bush.

For irrigation, you can prepare a liquid solution with organic components. Add 12 g of Diammofoska and 500 g of rotted manure to a bucket of water. The solution should be poured under the root, avoiding contact with the leaves. It is enough to apply this fertilizer twice a season.

Tomatoes

Complex fertilizer activates the growth of green mass of the plant, strengthens the stem and root system. The fruits become dense, juicy, sweet, do not crack and are stored for a long time.

When preparing the site in the spring, you need to apply 28 g per square meter. m (in a greenhouse the consumption rate increases to 50 g). You can add it to the hole before planting; add 4 g of fertilizer under each root (up to 6 g in closed ground).

Potato

Diammofoska is especially necessary for potatoes. Fertilizer helps increase yield and improve the taste of vegetables. During planting, 5 g of components are added to each well.You can simply distribute the powder over the area where you plan to plant potatoes. Consumption rate 20 g per square meter. m. After this, the soil must be loosened and watered.

Cabbage

Mineral fertilizing after application to cabbage ensures active growth of green mass and formation of a dense head of cabbage. Fertilizer helps prevent cracking and increases the plant's resistance to many diseases and some pests.

When digging up soil in the spring, add 27 per square meter. m, you can apply granules immediately before planting; 4 g are poured into the hole. During autumn digging, the amount of fertilizer increases to 34 g per square meter. m.

Strawberry

If you add Diammofoska to the soil where strawberries grow, you will notice that the bushes will become more powerful and stronger, and the berries will be juicy, sweet and large. When cultivating the soil in the spring, it is enough to add 15 g of the substance per square meter. m. It is recommended to apply the liquid solution during the appearance of the ovaries.

Shrubs and trees

Fruit trees and shrubs also need additional feeding. So, for raspberries, currants, blackberries, plums and apricots, it is enough to add 22 g of powder per square meter to the soil. m. For apple and pear trees, it is necessary to add more substance - 30 g. For grape bushes, granules are distributed over the snow cover. During melting, the granules will dissolve and be absorbed into the soil.

Seedling

The key to a good harvest is strong and healthy seedlings, so you need to provide timely and proper fertilizing. The first fertilizing is carried out when the first pair of true leaves unfold; urea is best suited. The second feeding is carried out two weeks later, 1 g of Diammofoska is dissolved in a liter of water.

Lawn

In order for lawn grass to grow well, be juicy and have a rich green color, fertilizer is applied in mid-summer at the rate of 280 g per square meter. m, and in the fall the dosage is reduced to 140 g. In the spring, it is advisable to add ammonium nitrate to the soil.

Winter crops

Diammofoska is also applied during the cultivation of winter crops. For winter wheat and barley, apply 7 centners of fertilizer per hectare, planting it to a depth of 8 cm. During autumn digging, it is enough to apply 3.5 centners per hectare.

Flowers and indoor plants

Diammofosk is suitable for feeding flower beds outdoors, as well as for indoor flowers. They need a complex of mineral components and roses. It is necessary to prepare a liquid solution for irrigation. 3 g of substance is dissolved in three liters of water. It is recommended to water flowers with this solution once every two weeks.

Precautionary measures

It is necessary to add components and prepare solutions in accordance with the recommended dosages. All components are safe for humans and the environment, but during use you must use rubber gloves; a respirator will help prevent inhalation of vapors. Clothes are immediately removed and washed after work. Do not allow exposed skin to come into contact with the powder. After treating the soil with fertilizer, you need to wash your face and hands with soap.

Storage conditions

Complex mineral fertilizer should be stored in packaging, away from direct sunlight and food, in a room with good ventilation and air humidity not exceeding 50%. The air temperature can be from 0 to +30 degrees. The shelf life of Diammofoska, subject to all storage rules, is 5 years.
