Content:
Azofoska is a fertilizer used for cucumbers. Application rates for azofoska and instructions for use - you will find all this in this article, which specifically explains the features of this fertilizer and its most key properties.
Means for feeding cucumbers
In order to protect cucumbers from external negative influences, from pests and diseases, gardeners use a large amount of fertilizers and dressings. But still, most often they resort to more traditional means, and one of them is wood ash. It includes potassium, which is an essential trace element for the growth and development of cucumbers.
Since ash is a natural component, it is completely safe, does not pose any danger to the human body, its health. Such dressing can be used at different periods, but it is especially necessary during the harvest period. For example, a gardener can spray cucumber bushes with a solution that is prepared on the basis of ash, and can also periodically dust the soil with dry mixtures containing ash. In addition, professional and experienced gardeners recommend periodically pouring the ash solution directly under the root.
In order to dissolve azofoska, refer to the instructions for the use of ash and its amount for individual crops. If we are talking specifically about cucumbers, then it is best to prepare a solution based on one glass of ash and ten liters of water. Then this solution is left for about a day, so that the ash is infused and gives its useful and nutritious properties to water. Then the solution is filtered and the plants and their root part are treated.
If the gardener has no ash on the plot, then you can process the garden with liquid fertilizer for cucumbers with Azofoska, which is a worthy replacement for ash. Azophoska solution is a complex mineral complete fertilizer, which contains all the necessary microcomponents and elements that help cucumbers to grow, have increased immunity in the fight against various pests and diseases.
And in the next part, we will dwell in a little more detail on what is included in the azofoska, as well as what are the advantages of this fertilizer, how many and what types exist, what they are intended for, and how best to use the azofoska specifically for feeding cucumbers. This is very important and relevant information, since azofoska today acts as one of the most popular and demanded fertilizers, which is also suitable for a budget gardener who does not want to spend a large amount of personal funds, and at the same time strives to have an ideal backyard plot and healthy plants with a rich harvest in the future.
Azofoska: composition and rates of fertilization
Unlike many other types of fertilizers and top dressing, Azofosk fertilizer is ideal as a budget fertilizer, since its cost is quite low. That is why many gardeners and gardeners prefer this particular type of feeding.
If we talk about the percentage of nutrients in azofosk, then most of all it contains nitrogen. It is also worth focusing on the fact that nitrogen is a very significant component that plays an important role in plant growth, in the appearance of fruit ovaries.Azophoska also includes phosphorus, which is important in order to ensure the comprehensive and full development of cucumber bushes, since the condition of the upper part of the bush and the root system depends on it. Gardeners introduce different brands of azofoski in almost all growing seasons. The ratio in the content of the components in the fertilizer depends on which brand the gardener has chosen.
Another component that is included in the azofoska for cucumbers is potassium: its amount varies from 5 to 20%, and also depends on the brand that the gardener buys. Also, an element such as litter is included in the azophoska, and in percentage terms it is much less than all other components. Nevertheless, even a small sulfur content is sufficient for the full and comprehensive development of cucumbers, their ovary and gradual growth.
Of course, I would like to dwell a little more on the properties and characteristics of azophoska. Judging by the composition that we presented a little below, azofoska is a complex mineral fertilizer, which is intended for the treatment of many crops and, in particular, for the treatment of cucumbers at different stages of their growth and development.
The main characteristics of the composition of liquid azophoska for cucumbers can be presented as follows.
First, the packing of azofoska is made in the form of small granules. They do not absorb moisture from the air, they can be stored for a long time and do not lose their special properties.
Secondly, the granules can be of light colors, mainly white or light pink granules are sold.
Thirdly, during long-term storage, the azophoska does not cake, its granules do not stick together. The fertilizer remains crumbly and, most importantly, does not lose its beneficial properties at all. Fertilizer is difficult to ignite, completely non-toxic to humans or animals. Granules dissolve very quickly in water and are easily absorbed by plants.
As for the storage of Azofoska fertilizer, this should be carried out either in a vacuum package, or in a separate closed container. Azofoska is stored in a dark and cold place, and if these points are not observed, then the fertilizer will simply lose its strength and effectiveness, and will be useless with further use.
Speaking about the effects that Azophoska gives to cucumbers, it is worth highlighting the following:
- in fruits, the amount of fat gradually increases, and this, in turn, leads to an increase in the yield itself;
- the use of azofoska in the spring increases the nutritional value of the fruits, the amount of nutrients in them, the vitamin complex expands;
- the growing season increases, which, accordingly, leads to an increase in the number of fruits on one cucumber bush, and this is important, because every gardener strives to get a bountiful harvest;
- cucumbers increase their immunity due to azofoska, which makes them more resistant, increases immunity to diseases, attacks from bacteria and pests, insects. In addition, it becomes easier for cucumbers to withstand unstable climatic conditions, especially in some specific areas.
How to add Azophoska? It is not recommended to apply Azofoska during cold periods of the year, since due to lack of heat, fertilizer can very quickly lose its beneficial properties, it will accumulate in the soil, and nitrates will also accumulate along with Azofoska. It is best to fertilize the soil and cucumbers in late April or early May, since during this period the soil is already warmed up enough, but it is still moistened due to the newly melted snow cover. This is what contributes to the rapid diffusion of the most useful and nutritious substances that are contained in azofosk.
Fertilizer benefits and types
Of course, devoting this article to Azofoske, you should pay attention to the benefits of this fertilizer.In a number of positive features, gardeners and experienced gardeners highlight several significant aspects.
- Firstly, azofoska as a special complex of trace elements allows cucumber bushes at different stages of development to receive absolutely all the necessary components for the full growth and development of the plant. Therefore, the gardener does not need to spend a lot of time and money to assemble the complex on his own - everything needs to be contained in the azofosk.
- Secondly, we emphasize that Azophoska dissolves very easily in water, therefore foliar feeding of cucumbers with Azofoska is a very easy process, and with the help of Azophoska solution, pollination of the upper part of the cucumbers can be carried out. Thanks to the components contained in azofosk, the growth of cucumber bushes is stimulated and the root system is strengthened. In addition, this fertilizer is very easily absorbed by the plant, it is absolutely safe for human life and health.
At an affordable price, the gardener receives high-quality fertilizer, which allows him to get a decent harvest that will be stored for a long time, as well as additionally fertilize the land.
Today, there are several types of azofoska, which are necessary for feeding a wide variety of plant categories. The brands differ in the amount of components they contain - nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, which are considered the main ones when we talk about the growth and maintenance of the vital activity of the culture.
Among the types, we will highlight such as:
- NPK 16:16:16 - this type of azophoska is classic, since it contains all the necessary components in approximately equal amounts. Fertilizer is mainly used to feed tuberous and vegetable crops, as well as to carry out preventive treatment of fruit plants located in the backyard;
- NPK 19: 9: 19 - in the composition of this azophoska there is much less phosphorus than in the first version. This azophoska is mainly used in drier areas, since phosphorus is usually washed out with water;
- NPK 22:11:11 - basically this azophoska is used in neglected soils, since this includes a large amount of nitrogen. Also, this component is necessary for the implementation of intensive farming, since it is as a result of this that the soil can be depleted, and it needs additional support in recovery and regeneration in order to continue planting the rest of the plants after a while (for example, if we are talking about the next farming season).
Thus, feeding cucumbers with Azofoska acts as an extremely useful and widespread fertilizer, which is very popular among a large number of gardeners: efficiency in combination with a low price - all this makes Azofoska really very attractive.
In addition, the gardener can choose his fertilizer from several types, taking into account the characteristics of the soil and soils, as well as what kind of plants this soil is fertilized for. The most important thing is to follow the rules for storing and using azofoska, and also not to allow fertilizer to accumulate in the soil, since this, in a sense, carries some harmful consequences that are best avoided and avoided whenever possible.
