Fertilizer Ammofosk - features of application when growing potatoes

We always plant large quantities of potatoes on the site, but there is not always enough organic matter to fertilize all plantings. After small calculations, I concluded that it is more economical to use mineral fertilizers. A neighbor has long recommended trying Ammofoska. Tell me how and how much to use ammofoska for potato fertilization?

Among the complex mineral fertilizers, ammofoska is very popular among gardeners. This is due to the fact that it contains many nutrients necessary for the development of crops. A small amount of the drug can be used to fertilize the entire garden, while the plants will receive a full range of trace elements, which is very beneficial from the financial point of view. That is why ammophoska is often used for fertilizing potatoes, which takes up most of the vegetable garden.

Composition of the preparation

The main constituent elements of ammophos are:

• potassium (15%);
• phosphorus (15%);
• sulfur (14%);
• nitrogen (12%).

All four trace elements play an important role in the growth and formation of root crops and are the key to a plentiful and high-quality potato harvest.

Features of the use of fertilizer for potatoes

For the purpose of the main fertilization of potatoes, ammofoska is recommended to be applied at the planting stage. To do this, pour 1 tbsp into each hole. l. drug. For a plot of 1 hundred square meters, no more than 2.5 kg of ammophos will be required.

If necessary, you can carry out additional feeding in the middle of summer, using 20-30 g of the drug per 1 sq. m.

The use of fertilizer in autumn is not practiced, since it promotes the growth of green mass, which is completely unnecessary before harvesting.

Drug action

As a result of feeding potatoes with ammophos:

• the composition of the soil improves, which has a positive effect on the growth of culture, activating it;
• the yield of potatoes increases (more tubers are tied);
• the taste of the crop improves;
• the shelf life of root crops is extended;
• increases immunity to various diseases.

Of the advantages of ammophoska, it is worth highlighting the fact that, in comparison with organic fertilizers it acts on plants more quickly, which means that the result of applying top dressing will be visible much earlier.

The drug can be used on any type of soil, as well as on saline soils. Ammophoska does not contain sodium and chlorine, in addition, it is absolutely harmless to plants, animals and humans.
