Microelements are biologically active substances whose deficiency in the soil becomes a limiting factor for crop productivity under intensive farming conditions. Despite low concentrations in plant tissues, it is these elements that determine the quality of the harvest, the biochemical profile of fruits, and their market appeal. Understanding the role of micronutrition allows an agronomist to build a precise fertilizer application system that takes into account the growing season stages, substrate types, and the physiological needs of specific plants, from vegetable crops to orchards.
In this selection, we examine a comprehensive approach to soil fertility management: from the analysis of agrochemical indicators to methods for calculating application rates of fertilizers. Readers will find materials on the principles of plant nutrition, the influence of the chemical composition of organic and mineral substances on soil structure, as well as the environmental risks associated with the excessive accumulation of elements. Special attention is paid to practical recommendations for the nutrition of tomatoes and vegetables in open ground and greenhouses, as well as regional fertilization systems adapted to modern agronomic requirements.
Agrochemistry For students
The article examines the process of forming the domestic agrochemical school and creating the production base for fertilizers in the first half of the 20th century. The reader will learn about the scale of the first field trials and the evolution of specialized scientific journals
Agrochemistry For students
Agrovitakva AVA complex fertilizer is a safe, nitrogen-free, long-acting agent, the effectiveness of which directly depends on soil temperature and plant root exudates. The article examines the key properties of this fertilizer and its application rates for a wide range of agricultural crops
Agrochemistry For students
Intensive farming leads to the depletion of available trace element reserves in the soil, which necessitates the widespread use of micro-fertilizers. The article presents data on the demand for trace elements in land and methods of their determination to optimize plant nutrition
Nutrition and fertilizers For gardeners
The article examines the rules for calculating the application of mineral fertilizers based on the active ingredient and provides data on the nutrient absorption rates by plants. The author explains how balanced nutrition affects soil fertility and root system development.
Nutrition and fertilizers For gardeners
Fertilizer efficiency directly depends on the nutrient reserves and their form in the soil. The article covers the principles of plant nutrition, features of nitrogen metabolism, and methods for calculating top dressing rates based on agrochemical analysis
Agrochemistry For students
Trace elements are essential for plants; however, their excessive accumulation in the soil turns fertilizers into dangerous toxins. The article examines the maximum permissible concentrations of metals and the consequences of violating application regulations for crop quality
Agrochemistry For students

You will learn about the differences in approaches to determining available nutrients for key floral crops
Nutrition and fertilizers For gardeners
The article describes the role of organic fertilizers in improving soil fertility and soil structure. Data on the chemical composition of manure and other organic substances are presented, and the principles of their prolonged action on crops are explained.
Nutrition and fertilizers For gardeners
Fruit quality and market appeal depend on the concentration of sugars, vitamins, and micronutrients. The article presents a detailed biochemical profile of apples and examines the medicinal properties of pears
Nutrition and fertilizers For gardeners
A competent nutrition system for tomatoes takes into account the growing season phases, soil type, and crop nutrient requirements. The article contains practical recommendations on site preparation and the selection of fertilizer schemes to increase yield.
Poultry For agronomists
