For which plants
The drug has a universal purpose. It can be used for growing vegetables in open ground or in greenhouse conditions. The composition is also used for ornamental plants and industrial crops.
Instructions for use
Fertilizer can be applied in different ways:
- For drip irrigation or hose irrigation, use 5-10 kilograms of fertilizer per 1 hectare per day.

- Tomatoes - you need to apply 0.4-0.6 kilograms of product per day. This dosage is used during the growing season and early flowering. Starting from the stage of fruit formation, the amount needs to be doubled.
- Cucumbers - during the growing season, plants require 0.5-0.75 kilograms of the drug per day. With the beginning of flowering it is worth increasing the dosage. It should be 1.25 kilograms per day.
- Grapes - during the entire growing season it is worth using 0.4-0.6 kilograms of the drug per day.
- Roses - to feed these plants it is worth using 0.3-0.5 kilograms of the substance per day. This dosage is maintained throughout the growing season.
When using fertilizer by the root method, it must be applied with each influx of water.For foliar feeding, it is permissible to use the following concentrations:
- Vegetables and ornamental plants in greenhouses should be sprayed with a composition whose concentration is 0.1-0.2%. To prepare a working solution, it is recommended to use 1-2 kilograms of the substance per 1000 liters of water.
- When growing vegetables in open ground, a working fluid with a concentration of 0.1-0.2% is used. To do this, mix 1-2 kilograms of the substance with 1000 liters of water.
- For garden crops, it is worth using a solution with a concentration of 0.25-0.5%. To do this, it is recommended to use 2.5-5 kilograms of the product per 1 hectare.
- Industrial crops require a solution with a concentration of 0.5-0.75%. For 1 hectare it is worth using 5-7.5 kilograms of the drug.
Compatibility with other substances
All drugs from the line can be combined with each other. To improve the growth of crops, “Master” is recommended to be combined with “Plantafol”. Combinations with Viva and Radifarm are also allowed.
In addition, the composition can be used with pesticides. If you combine Master fertilizers with herbicides, you can significantly increase the resistance of cultivated plants. At the same time, the effectiveness against weeds remains at the same level.
