Root

Root - is vegetables, which’s thickened taproot is edible. It is represented by carrots, beets, radishes and other crops and vegetables and are conditionally divided into types of carrots, beets type and the type of radish. Nutritional value root crops is due to high content of components: nitrogen compounds from 0.4% (turnips) to 3.5% (beet), vitamin C - from 0.2 mg% (radish) to 60 mg% (turnip), carbohydrates (6-9 % of carrot and table beet), minerals (0,7-1,0%), vitamins, cellulose (0.5-2%). Sugar beets contain significant amounts of sugar (sucrose 9%), minerals (salts of phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron, cobalt), pectin, vitamins C, B, PP.

Carrots are a valuable food product, because it has a complex of vitamins: C, B1, B2, B6, B12, D, E, K, P, PP, pantothenic and folic acid, a large amount of carotene (9 mg%), the content of which depends on its color, and biologically active substances - volatile, mineral salt (cobalt, potassium, iron, copper, phosphorus, calcium, iodine, bromine, etc.)., enzymes, polysaccharides (pectin, cellulose), a lot of sugars (up to 15 %), which are easily digested, organic acids, flavonoids, essential oils that contribute to a specific flavor of carrots.

Radish – is a root with bitter-spicy taste and specific smell caused by essential oils and glycosides. It contains sugar (6%), vitamin C, a lot of potassium salts. Root endures many nutrients and is very sensitive for the foliar fertilizing. Special demand they feel to deficit of magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn) and boron (B). Moreover, in woodlands and in eastern regions of forest-steppe, it is included copper, cobalt and zinc fertilizers under the roots. For the formation of 1 t of roots and appropriate number of tops from 1 ha of soil a lot of calcium, magnesium (Mg) - 1,5-2,0 kg, sulfur, manganese (Mn) - 0,015-0,02 kg, boron (B) - 0.01 kg and other microelements are taken out.

Recommendations for conducting of foliar feeding of root by complex fertilizers

* for crops like beet type «ROSTOK» Beet  is used, for carrot type and radish – «ROSTOK» Fruiting, because the excess of nitrogen nutrition of carrot leads to excessive growth of leaves, proliferation of roots, roughness of their tissues, reducing the content of nutrients and increasing the content of nitrates.

Consumption of working solution 250-300 l / ha.

It is advisable to combine feeding with the introduction of crop protection and urea (if necessary).

If necessary, it is recommended to use additionally «ROSTOK» Manganese.

The content of nutrients in fertilizers «UAROSTOK»® and doses of entering are designed according to the needs of plants in the components during a period of growth and development.

The use of fertilizers «UAROSTOK»® promotes:

• stimulating plant growth and development;
• strengthening root system and active grow of vegetative mass;
• strengthening plant resistance to diseases;
• increasing the weight of roots;
• improvement of fruit quality indexes (increasing of content of vitamins, including vitamin C, dry substances, reducing the content of nitrates, improving the taste properties);
• increasing the harvesting of crop by 10-15%;
• lengthening the shelf life of roots.

Microfertilizers «UAROSTOK»® is non-toxic to humans and bees do not cause allergies and environmentally safe.
