Fertilizer: Time and frequency of use

Fertilizers: fertilizer use time has an important effect on crop productivity. The right time to use increases the productivity of the crop, reduces nutritional deficiencies, if the use of fertilizers is effective, and to prevent environmental harms will increase nutrition.

Using fertilizers at the wrong time can lead to nutrient deficiencies, waste of fertilizer and can even damage crops. The mechanism of damage that occurs depends on the characteristics of the nutrient and its reactions to the surrounding environment and will be discussed further in this article.

Calculate the time of using fertilizer according to plant growth

Crops need different nutrient ratios at different growth stages. To keep nutrients available when the plant needs it, use it at the right time. Therefore, the optimal time for fertilizer application is determined by the nutrient uptake model of the crop. For the same group of plants, each nutrient is represented by a distinct path.
