How to apply autumn fertilizers

Applying fertilizers in autumnreduces the risk of plant burnout, which may occur as a result of too intensive use of fertilizer in spring. In winter, the fertilizer ingredients will have a chance to undergo favorable changes and will penetrate well into the soil. They may turn out to be very necessary in early spring, when plants start to start growing, and the application of fertilizers will not be possible yet due to the frozen ground.
However, to fertilize plants in autumn, usespecial autumn fertilizers whose composition is adapted to the needs of plants at this time of the year.

Correctly appliedautumn fertilizer brings the following benefits :

Note!The recommended date of application of autumn fertilizers does not fully coincide with the calendar date of this season. The name of the autumn fertilizer should be interpreted as protecting plants for fall and winter. However, the date of application of the fertilizer is the end of summer. Although some autumn fertilizers can be added in October, most often it is done in August or September. "

The basic composition offall fertilizers containmacroelements - phosphorus and potassium, and microelements - copper, boron, iron and manganese.These components do not wash out of the soil and will prove useful in early spring. The fall administration of potassium also allows many plants to better prepare for winter and to survive frosts.

Autumn multicomponent fertilizersshould not contain nitrogen (or contain very little). Nitrogen is washed out of the soil during winter anyway. Above all, however, the autumn administration of this nutrient would stimulate the plants to further growth and delay the transition to dormancy. As a result, the plants would be very vulnerable to freezing. Therefore, we usually give nitrogen-containing fertilizers for the last time in July, and fertilizers intended for later usefall fertilizers do not contain nitrogenat all or contain very little.

For autumn mineral fertilization , however, we do not always have to use ready-made autumn mineral fertilizers It is worth looking for substitutes among fertilizers of natural origin, which can be used, for example, in ecological crops.
Due to the lack of nitrogen in its composition,bas alt flour is an excellent autumn fertilizer of natural originIt is a rich source of strengthening and immunizing plants of silica, calcium, iron, magnesium (e.g. magnesium improves the color of conifers and prevents their browning), as well as phosphorus and potassium. The last two ingredients arethe basic ingredients of autumn fertilizers, which support the lignification of the shoots and make it easier for the plants to overwinterBas alt flour is best used in late autumn as an autumn fertilizer.
