What is water-soluble fertilizer? As the name suggests, water-soluble fertilizers are fertilizers that can be dissolved in water. Common forms of water-soluble fertilizers include powder, liquid, particles, and other forms. The functions and practical methods of different types of fertilizers are different. Today, we will provide a detailed explanation of the different types of water-soluble fertilizers to facilitate your use in the production process.
The types of water-soluble fertilizers can be roughly divided into the following categories
1. Water soluble fertilizer containing a large amount of elements
Ingredients: Liquid or solid fertilizer mainly composed of large amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, with appropriate amounts of trace elements added.
Features: The whole process of crop nutrition, diverse ratios, and different categories of products such as strong seedlings, vigorous growth, and swollen fruits.
2. Medium element water-soluble fertilizer
Ingredients: Soluble fertilizer mainly composed of calcium, magnesium, and sulfur.
Characteristics: Used in combination with a large number of elements to compensate for physiological diseases caused by nutrient deficiencies in crops, allowing crops to absorb nutrients more comprehensively and improve quality significantly
3. Trace element water-soluble fertilizer
Features: The product generally has a high price and a high-end positioning, used to supplement the trace elements required by crops.
4. Water soluble fertilizer containing humic acid
Ingredients: Potassium humate containing mineral source
Characteristics: Mainly liquid fertilizer, mainly used to stimulate crop rooting, supplement organic matter, and improve soil.
5. Water soluble fertilizer containing amino acids
Ingredients: Mostly chelated, containing various free amino acids, trace elements or moderate elements
Features: It has the characteristics of promoting crop rooting, green leaves, and improving quality.
6. Organic water-soluble fertilizer
Ingredients: Produced using natural surprise food grade raw materials, the main ingredients include brown algae, molasses, polyglutamic acid, polyaspartic acid, etc.
Advantages and disadvantages of water-soluble fertilizers
1. Advantages:
① Fully nutritious, water-soluble, and easily absorbable;
It can quickly dissolve in water and be directly absorbed and utilized by crop roots and leaves, with an absorption and utilization rate of up to 80% -90%. Compared with traditional fertilizers, water-soluble fertilizers have stronger quick acting properties and can meet the nutritional needs of high-yield crops during the rapid growth period.
② Water and fertilizer conservation, safe and efficient;
The dosage is small, impurities are low, and conductivity is low. The formula can be designed according to the nutritional needs of crop growth, without causing fertilizer waste. The utilization rate is 2-3 times that of conventional chemical fertilizers. Seedlings can also be safely used without worrying about adverse consequences such as burning them, effectively reducing soil pollution caused by fertilizers.
③ Quick acting and controllable, convenient formula fertilization;
Water soluble fertilizer is a quick acting fertilizer that can quickly see the effect and performance of the fertilizer, and adjust the fertilizer formula according to different crop growth and growth stages.
④ Convenient to use, time-saving and labor-saving.
The application method is simple, and irrigation and fertilization can be carried out through sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation, and other methods to improve labor efficiency.
2. Disadvantages:
① High cost
Compared to traditional fertilizers, water-soluble fertilizers have higher production and transportation costs, and their market prices are relatively high;
② Fertility is not long-lasting
Fast fertilizing effect, but not long-lasting, difficult to preserve in soil for a long time;
③ Risk of excessive use
The amount of fertilizer should be strictly controlled. If applied excessively in a single application, it may lead to salt accumulation, affecting soil structure and crop growth, fertilizer loss, and polluting water sources. Water soluble fertilizer production equipment
