Foliar top dressing is a method of rapid nutrient application through the leaf surface of plants, which allows for compensating for element deficiencies during critical growth phases. For both agronomists and amateur gardeners, this method is an essential tool for yield management, as it ensures rapid absorption of micro- and macronutrients, bypassing soil fixation processes. Competent use of foliar treatments helps maintain crop health, increase their resistance to adverse environmental factors, and adjust the nutrition scheme according to the plant's current needs.
In this selection, we have combined materials that will help you understand the complex agricultural practices of various crops. The reader will find information on methods of protecting cucumbers and brassica crops from pests and diseases, specific features of growing plants on alternative substrates, and the principles of creating mineral nutrition programs for ornamental flowers. The presented articles reveal important aspects of care — from soil preparation to fruit formation, which will allow for more effective application of top dressing to achieve consistently high results in greenhouses and open soil.
Vegetable growing For gardeners
The article examines the rules for growing savoy cabbage and kohlrabi, including temperature requirements, sowing patterns, and recommendations for top dressing. Basic methods for protecting brassica crops from common pests are also provided
Greenhouses and covers For agronomists
Growing cucumbers on straw substrates allows for increased yield in unheated greenhouses due to the natural heating of the soil and the enrichment of air with carbon dioxide. The article examines in detail two methods of bed preparation and fertilizer application rates to ensure optimal growth conditions.
Greenhouses and covers For gardeners
The article provides important recommendations for cucumber care: from protecting seedlings to proper irrigation. You will learn how to diagnose nutrient deficiencies and ensure optimal growing conditions for the plants
Floriculture For students
The quality of flowering directly depends on the composition of the substrate and the balance of mineral nutrients. We examine the classification of crops by their nutritional requirements, optimal soil acidity indices, and the role of major macronutrients
