Chemical Fertilizers For Garden

So you have given the desired form to your garden and now relishing its beauty. It is quite logical that your hard-labored dream-paradise is quite dear to you not to speak about those who are devoted to it. But it can be a disaster if not looked after effectively. One of the precautionary measures to save your landscape is by application of chemical fertilizers. So here there is some information on chemical fertilizers for garden, also known as inorganic garden fertilizers, which can be helpful for your garden care.

Some names of garden fertilizers
The essential garden fertilizers useful for the healthy growth of plants are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
  • Nitrogen (N) - is useful for the healthy growth of garden plants. It also sees to it that the vitamins are retained.
  • Phosphorus (P) - provides resistance against disease and helps in the growth of roots and seeds.
  • Potassium (K) - also resists germs and encourages growth of roots.
Testing soil for fertilizers
You need to test your garden soil to find out the adequate nutrients. Test your soil with the help of local fertilizer dealer, Natural Resources Conservation Service or Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extention Service. Select a fertilizer that has one-fourth of the nitrogen in a slow-release form, such as sulpher-coated urea.

Application of chemical fertilizers
Though not advisable but still here are some tips for the application of chemical fertilizers
  • When the soil is moist put garden fertilizer and then apply water slowly. This helps the nutrients to get soaked in the soil and enter into the roots.
  • Don't apply fertilizer before heavy rain, as it will wash away all the minerals.
  • Use little amount of fertilizer in frequent intervals.
  • Adjust your fertilizer spreader and be careful about the quantity of fertilizer spread at each area.
  • Follow the instructions that are specified in the spreader.
  • While scattering the fertilizer the ends of the lawn should be covered.
  • Then go back and forth of the lawn and spray half of the prescribed amount.
  • Before reaching at the end of the lawn close the spreader.
  • Apply other half of the fertilizer from the opposite direction to the earlier one.
  • Throw the fertilizer bags or containers in a prescribed legal manner to maintain a healthy environment.

Organic fertiliser is obtained from various chemicals. It contains range of nutrients at different ratio, making it effective for plants. These are easily absorbed in plant systems. Organic Fertiliser are available as solid spray dried powder or liquid solution. This powder if fully soluble in water and can be dissolved in water to prepare formulation of required concentration HUMIC ACID: Application of humic acids has several benefits and agriculturists all over the world are accepting humic acids as an integral part of their fertilizer program. Biochemical active and plant responsive humic substance are naturally occurring humic acids. They can be applied directly to the plant foliage in liquid form or to the soil in the form of granules alone or as fertilizer mix. Benefits of Proper Application of Humic Acid increase soil fertility, Increase humus contents, Effectively chelates meta...

CarBon Di-Oxide

Carbon dioxide gas is colourless and odourless gas or extremely cold liquid under pressure or refrigeration. It will not burn. Carbon dioxide is a COMPRESSED GAS. It Can displace oxygen in air, it may accumulate in low areas and is a confined space hazard. Carbon dioxide is a very mild central nervous system depressant. Very high concentrations may cause headache, nausea, dizziness, sweating, restlessness and disorientation. Liquefied gas may cause frostbite. Where do you find carbon dioxide gas? CO 2 gas is used for the carbonation of beverages; for pH control; as a chemical intermediate; in chemical processing; as a food preservative; as an inert "blanket"; and in enhanced oil and gas recovery. Liquid CO 2 is used as a refrigerant; for low temperature testing of aviation, missile and electronic components; as a fire-extinguishing agent; for stimulation of oil and gas wells and for controlling temperature in chemical reactions. CO 2 gas is a by-product of carbonaceous ...

Complete defination of Fertilizers

FERTILIZERS : Growing plants are nourished by certain constituents which they absorb from the soil and air. The chief elements drawn from tho soil are potassium, calcium, sulphur, phosphorus, and nitrogen; other elements such as silicon, iron, sodium, magnesium, and chlorine are taken up to a less degree. The natural weathering of the minerals in the ground usually provide the elements necessary to plant life; but the supply of potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen may be insufficient and become exhausted by frequent repetitions of the same crops on the same land. The soil becomes less productive, and finally the crops are failures. To supply this continued drain on the soil, fertilizers are employed. The natural fertilizers, barn-yard manure, urine, and decomposing vegetable mould or muck, will not be considered here, as they need little or no treatment before use. By artificial fertilizers we understand those manurial substances, prepared from materials which need some special treatmen...
