Borofoska: when and how to apply fertilizer, composition and instructions for use

During the entire growing period, plants need support with mineral fertilizers. You can use affordable and harmless formulations that are easy to use and contain the elements necessary for the proper development of crops. Consider the use of Borofoska, its composition, principle of operation and purpose, advantages and disadvantages. How to use as the main fertilizer and top dressing, for the protection and prevention of diseases, when and how to apply.

Composition and form of release of "Borofoski"

Fertilizer produces "AIP-PHOSPHATES" in the form of small gray granules in a soft hermetic package of 1 kg. There is no nitrogen in the composition, there is phosphorus (10%), potassium (16%), calcium (25%), magnesium (2%) and boron (0.25%).

Principle and scope

The elements included in the Borofoska formula are actively involved in the bioprocesses that occur in cultivated plants. In the garden, it can be used throughout the full growing season. The fertilizer is distinguished by properly selected and balanced elements, thanks to which it nourishes plants, normalizes growth, increases soil fertility, increases productivity, and improves the quality of harvested fruits. Reduces the intake of nitrates and heavy metals in plant tissues. Accelerates survival and rooting of seedlings and seedlings.

They can feed all crops on all types of soil. It has a prolonged effect, that is, it has a positive effect on plants for a long time.

Borofoska can be fertilized on flowering and ornamental crops, this fertilizer is suitable for roses and other garden flowers, vegetables, fruit trees and berry plants.

Potassium normalizes water absorption, improves fluid transport throughout the plant, promotes the accumulation of starch and sugars in fruits and root crops, enhances disease resistance, increases stress resistance.

Phosphorus in Borofoska is in the form of carbonate, this form prevents it from being washed out of the soil. Phosphorus increases yield, positively affecting productivity, enhances the growth of roots, buds and flowers. Calcium helps plants to fully develop, bloom profusely. Boron is a stimulator of growth, flowering, pollen formation, its entry into plants is most important during flowering and fruiting.

Fertilizer can be used at any stage of cultivation, starting from seedlings. Despite the fact that it must be dosed correctly, a small overspending is not terrible. Plants will take from the soil as many nutrients as they need at the moment.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages and expediency of using "Borofoski" in the garden:

• composition includes phosphorus and potassium - the most important nutrients, as well as equally important calcium, magnesium and boron;
• elements are presented in an easily digestible form;
• no chlorine;
• does not stay in the soil;
• acidifies the soil, so it can be used on alkaline soils;
• supports plants during their active growing season.

Cons: Not recommended for acidic soils due to acid reaction.

Instructions for use

"Borofoska" is used as the main fertilizer, that is, when preparing the soil and planting, for top dressing throughout the season, and also as a means of preventing micronutrient deficiencies in the soil and in plant nutrition.

As a main fertilizer

When preparing beds and digging, Borofoska fertilizer is applied in spring or autumn. The granules are embedded in the soil to a depth of 10 cm so that they are located at the level of the root system.For 1 sq. m contribute 60 g. 70 g are brought to the beds for vegetables, 100 g for flowers and ornamental crops, 50-80 g for trees and shrubs.

As a top dressing

When feeding crops, the granules are applied dry to the soil or dissolved in water and watered the beds. Dosage - 2 tbsp. l. for 10 l. The frequency of top dressing depends on the condition of the plants, but usually this fertilizer is applied before flowering and throughout the fruiting period.

For the prevention and protection of plants

"Borofoska", due to the content of boron, can be used to prevent boron deficiency and diseases that arise as a result. This is expressed in the death of growth points and new shoots, a decrease in the number of buds and flowers, the fall of already set fruits, the development of rot in vegetables and root crops. For prevention on soils poor in this element, Borofoska is applied as the main and preferred fertilizer, in doses recommended by the manufacturer.

Delivery dates

Like other fertilizers, "Borofosk" must not only be dosed correctly, but also applied on time. Then the benefit from it will be maximum.

Spring

Soil preparation in the spring is carried out after the snow melts and it dries out a little. The soil should warm up, but not dry out. The granules are scattered over the dug-up beds, after which they are closed with a rake to a shallow depth. Spring fertilization is recommended on light sandy soils.

Autumn

The scheme for applying Borofoska fertilizer in autumn is the same as in spring. The granules are brought into the dug up soil and sealed up. The time for autumn application comes after the completion of the growing season and harvesting. If you need to plant shrubs or trees in the fall, then prepare the site for them about 2 weeks before planting. In autumn, fertilizer is used mainly on heavy clay soils.

Precautions

"Borofoska" is not toxic to humans and animals, bees. But it can irritate the skin on contact with the granules or solution. Therefore, for safety, you need to wear household rubber gloves, do not remove them until the end of work. After completing the application, wash your hands and face with soap and water. Solution that gets on the skin or eyes should be washed off with clean water.

Expiration date and storage conditions

"Borofoska" can be stored for 2 years, provided that all conditions are met. The granules must be protected from moisture and sunlight, for this they must be stored in tightly closed factory bags. Do not store food, household items, medicines and pet food nearby. If you need to prepare a solution, then you should dissolve as many granules as needed for watering in 1 day. The solution can be stored for only 1 day.

Means analogues

In private households, Borofoska can be replaced with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers: potassium monophosphate, YaraTera KRISTA MKP, Good Host, Granfoska, Atlante and others.

Borofoska contains not only phosphorus and potassium, but also magnesium and boron in a fairly large amount. Therefore, it can serve for plant nutrition and for the prevention of the lack of these trace elements in the soil. Thus, it is possible to normalize the flow of boron into plants, prevent the development of diseases, activate flowering and improve fruit set. The trace element improves the quality of the crop, makes it tastier, it is stored longer, the percentage of fruits affected by rot decreases.
