It's no secret that the pledge of a good harvest - a constant care for garden plants, and beets, of course, is no exception. Rather big role in this case played by the soil itself, but feeding It is no less favorably influence the growth of the plant itself, and the taste of the fruit. I have many years grow beets and adapt himself to feed her the same scheme - I can say that every time I collect a rich and delicious beet harvest.
The best option dressings, as for me - it's mineral and organic fertilizers. Beetroot is very fond of potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen - are the main minerals, which provide the plant normal growth and development. In order to remedy the lack of useful components at an early stage of plant development, namely, during the period when the stem is just beginning its rapid growth, I choose to nitrogen fertilizers. More in this season do not need to use them - only nitrogen promotes the growth of foliage and root crops do not, which is just the same and focus all our activities.
The ideal time for fertilizing sugar beet potassium nitrate - period from the beginning to the middle of July. To do this, I just breed 2 tbsp. l. powder in 10 liters of water and water the plants. Superphosphate also introduced a little later, somewhere in a week - two. preparing a solution of exactly the same, only its concentration do little less than - 1.5 take art. l. 10 liters of water.
To beets were sweet, It is also necessary and sodium, which is why I am making the soil saline. Cook on the same principle, take 1.5 st. l. razvozhu salt and 10 liters of water. There are several indications that the plant lacks any useful substances, for example, when nitrogen deficiency leaves grow very slowly, And some do remain undeveloped, sodium shortage manifests itself tops red, and the absence of a signal ground potassium yellow spots on the foliage.
As an organic fertilizer You can use the compost and mullein, Here everyone the right to choose what his heart desires.
So do not neglect feeding for their vegetable crops due to plant them necessarily generously reward you for your hard work.
