The Fertilization of Corps in Greenhouse

Greenhouses are used in the cultivation of crops. They are very effective when cultivating corps in different seasons of growth to protect different corps, conditions were unfavorable weather conditions and by predators. They strengthen the capabilities of nature and of man to cultivate crops.


The greenhouses are effective tools for the man who cultivate crops. However, growth and development of crops are still in the hands of the producer. There are many factors must be taken into consideration for maintaining a greenhouse. The temperature, humidity, ventilation and shading are just some of the factors that deserve special attention in managing a greenhouse.

One of the most important factors for the maintenance of cultures in a greenhouse, fertilization. Maintaining a sufficient amount of nutrition is essential for growth and development of culture in a greenhouse.

Very often, greenhouse corps are considered serious feeders. That means crops which needs large quantities of fertilizers. However, because the cultures are heavy feeders is not enough. If the report elements of fertilizer is also important to know that the amount of corps used.

Recent research has shown that ammonium nitrate, and nitrogen balance, has an impact on plant growth. In the State of Texas, farmers are encouraged to less than 50% of nitrogen in the form of ammonium. Large quantities of ammonium, which in turn can burn the foliage because of toxicity.

Application

Most of greenhouse cultivator today use a liquid feeding program to be able to supply nutrients in plants. This type of program supplying nutrients can be supplemented by slow release of granular fertilizers to the crops.


The frequency of application of fertilizers can affect plant growth. Above all, it is important to be able to various nutrients, during the peak of vegetative growth or the growth of crops. And generally accepted that the best system of demand for fertilizers is a constant. Constant May feeing amended to be able to meet the needs of the plant. High soluble salts may be feed to the plants every other application

The balance between nutrients should be maintained by farmers to prevent the occurrence of toxicity and deficiencies in the premises.

Selection

There are a variety of fertilizers, the full range of nutrients that are required by plants. These include fertilizer nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are the essential elements that are necessary through culture. There is also the fertilizer tailored for different cultures.

The nutrients

Here are some key elements of the individual elements that are needed by greenhouse corps:

Nitrogen - There are many sources of nitrogen can be used for nutrients for plants. Ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate and calcium nitrate are some sources of nitrogen. If one is to supply nitrogen for the culture, there should be no more than 50% of this amount in the form of ammonium.

Potassium - is an essential element in the water, the use of plants. The main source of potassium for plant is the potassium nitrate.

Phosphorus - phosphorus is necessary facilities for their growth. And usually in large quantities. However, you should always be cautious in the supply of phosphorus in large quantities to make other nutrients solved. What not these nutrients for plants to absorb. The most common type of phosphorus is phosphoric acid or super-phosphate.

Other nutrients

There are also other nutrients that are necessary to enable the full capacity for corps. The plants need calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, boron, molybdenum and chloride. Some of them are from the center of culture, but others are supported by additional demand.

Both the primary and secondary nutrients should be included, the program for nutrition. There are commercial mixtures, the needs of crops cultivated in greenhouses.


In a position that the amount and balance of different elements, are growing in the greenhouse. Only through a good feeders of plant growth and to obtain the best development opportunities. The quality of crops can be collected, if you know how the nutritional needs of plants.
