Our plants "talk" to us as they can. When all is well, they give us fruits, and we, without hesitation, reap a crop. But sometimes they complain and ask for help. An experienced gardener understands the "language" of plants - they need top dressing.
Organic Benefits
Manure is the first source of nitrogen needed by plants. If they do not have enough nitrogen, their leaves turn pale, the stem becomes brittle and the plant, in the end, dies. In any case, you should not expect fruiting from him. Plants need nitrogenous substances especially during the period of rains and cooling.
Mineral fertilizers
With a lack of phosphorus, the color of the leaves changes to dark green or bluish, their growth slows down, and dying accelerates. Lack of phosphorus also inhibits flowering of fruiting.
From a lack of potassium, the leaves turn yellow and twist to the bottom.
If the plant does not have enough magnesium, a change in the color of the foliage to yellow, red, up to purple, is observed.
With a lack of calcium, necrosis can occur, in which the edges of the leaves, apical buds and roots die.
With a lack of iron, plants become ill with chlorosis. Foliage becomes pale green, thins, tissues do not die, fruiting is delayed.
From a lack of boron, the apical buds, roots, leaf mass also die off, ovaries fall.
The lack or excess of fertilizers for plants is about the same as the lack or excess of nutrition for humans. Not a single plant is “saturated” with moisture. And if you want them not only to grow healthy, but to bring a good harvest, you need to "feed" the plants. But in moderation. During overfeeding, the plant degenerates, and harmful substances are concentrated in its fruits.
