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

If necessary, add further recommended «ROSTOK» Bor and «ROSTOK» Manganese

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

The use of micronutrients «UAROSTOK»® promotes:

  • improve the quality of seed;
  • accelerate the growth and development of plants;
  • reduce stress plants from soil-climatic and anthropogenic factors;
  • increase plant resistance to disease;
  • increase the number of productive masses of flowers and fruits;
  • increase productivity culture by 10-15%;
  • improvement in fruit quality (increased content of vitamins, sugars, solids);
  • lengthening the shelf life of fruit.

Particular need to plant of  water-melon in micronutrients such as: magnesium and calcium, melon - boron (initial stages of development). Unbalanced nitrogen nutrition and lack of copper (especially peat soils and soils poor in trace elements - molybdenum, iron, copper, manganese, boron, sulfur) for all melons leads to increased nitrate levels in output.
