The condition of winter cereals in spring 2023 is mostly good to satisfactory.
With the unstable weather observed this March and possibly in the first ten days of April, plants may be under stress because they cannot take up enough phosphorus from cold soil. At this time cereal crops form important yield components, so the yield level depends on the conditions in which these processes take place.
To eliminate phosphorus deficiency it is advisable to add special fertilizers containing phosphite to the tank mix at the first spraying of winter cereals.
It has been established that phosphite products provide:
- Elimination of phosphorus deficiency;
- Stronger growth of the secondary root system;
- Restraining the development of plant diseases;
- Stronger build-up dynamics of the vegetative part of plants, the basis of the future yield;
- Activation of the plants' photosynthetic apparatus;
- An increased volume of carbon assimilation in photosynthesis, a direct way to growth in yield mass and quality.
For spring 2023, taking into account the weather conditions and the state of plant development, as well as the results of practical use in previous years, we recommend:
- On crops where the condition of the plants is generally satisfactory and there are no signs of stress, carry out the first foliar feeding with the special fertilizer POLYACTIVE Twinphos 1.5–2.0 l/ha.
- On areas where a deficiency of individual nutrients has been established, and on weakened plants with insufficient development, carry out feeding with a tank mix of GROS Phosphito-NP 1.0–1.5 l/ha + ECOLINE Magnesium (Chelates) 1.0 l/ha. In case of a deficiency of copper, manganese, zinc or iron, use chelated fertilizers with the maximum content of the needed element at doses from 0.5 to 1.5 l/ha.
- On areas with poorly developed plants and those under stress it is better to use ECOLINE Phosphite (K-Amino) at a rate of 1.5 l/ha at the first feeding.
We work for the maximum yield!
