Kemira: fertilizer for a wide variety of plants and crops

Fertilizer description

Kemira is sold in the form of granules or powder, packaged in bags of different weights, and is also found in liquid form. The most common types are Kemira Lux and Kemira Universal. The fertilizer was developed by a Finnish company taking into account the “technologies of the future” and therefore is one of the most effective. In addition to the most popular NPK complex (that is, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium), each granule contains other trace elements: magnesium, manganese, boron, and so on. Conversely, some substances can be excluded from the composition, as Kemira Kombi does not contain calcium and therefore can be used on alkaline soils.

Fertilizer can be used both in dry form, introduced into the soil by digging, the granules gradually release substances useful for plants in an easily digestible form and, thus, have a long-term beneficial effect. You can use the variety Universal for seedlings both when planting seeds and when transplanting young plants into holes. The granules must be placed in the wells and mixed with the ground, thus, all useful substances will be concentrated in the access zone.

Varieties for different plants

As the name implies, Kemira Universal is suitable for all plants, all types of soils, as well as for any method of application, from falling asleep in the hole when planting seedlings and ending with drip irrigation. An additional advantage of this variety is the selenium content, which has a beneficial effect on the palatability of the fruit. Kemira Universal can also be used for decorative lawns and flowers. Kemira Lux contains a higher percentage of all nutrients and therefore is well suited for growing plants indoors, in greenhouses, as well as for home flowers, and, of course, for leafy greens and seedlings. You should also pay attention to the Hydro variety, which can be used for foliar dressing or specialized varieties for roses, for lawn grasses, coniferous, autumn (useful for all plants that winter outdoors) and for specific types of crops. So, potato Kemira has a high potassium content. The use of this fertilizer increases the yield of potatoes up to thirty percent and improves the keeping quality of tubers.

How to apply

Kemira is used both dry and liquid and can be evenly applied to the soil when digging, however, it is a wasteful method. It is better to concentrate all nutrients near the root of the plant. This can be done, for example, by pouring the granules into the hole when planting seedlings and mixing with the soil. This is an important condition - in no case should direct contact of the granules with the roots be allowed.

Another way is drip irrigation. For him, you need to prepare a solution with a concentration of 0.05%, that is, half a gram of Kemir Lux per liter of water. If necessary, feeding can be repeated after seven to ten days. The Universal variety is a fertilizer that is applied to the soil based on a minimum rate of 80 grams per square meter.This is enough for salad, dill, radishes, or onions. For sweet peppers, cucumbers, carrots, you need one hundred - ten grams per square meter.

The greatest need for this fertilizer is experienced by tomatoes and legumes of late varieties - up to one hundred and fifty grams. At the same time, the manufacturer recommends applying fertilizer in two stages - about two-thirds of the rate at planting, the remainder in the form of one or two additional fertilizing. The instructions on the packaging will help you understand the consumption rates. For potatoes, fertilizer can be used twice - at planting and a month and a half after it. 15–20 grams of granules are poured into the hole and mixed with the soil, so that fertilizer particles do not fall directly on the tubers. The second feeding is carried out simultaneously with hilling. Dry fertilizer should be applied to wet soil. The maximum rate is up to forty grams per square meter, but it should be distributed unevenly, scattering more around each of the bushes.

To grow cabbage, Kemir should be brought to the garden during spring digging. The second feeding is carried out one and a half months after planting the seedlings, simultaneously with loosening and hilling. If necessary, you can feed the cabbage again.

Consumption rates - from 60 to 100 grams of fertilizer before planting, and 30-40 grams during the growing season. If you plan three feeding, you need to reduce the amount of Kemira at the first application.

Fertilizer can be used in liquid form for watering seedlings or during the growing season, but in this case, half the rates should be applied. You can use this fertilizer for berry crops and fruit trees, from 30 grams per square meter for garden strawberries, up to ninety grams for trees and one hundred to twenty grams for currants, raspberries and gooseberries. Universal safety measures at work - use gloves, dissolve powder or granules (dilute concentrate) with water at room temperature in non-food plastic dishes and wash them thoroughly after use, keep fertilizer and equipment out of the reach of children and pets, separate from the storage area food and feed.

Terms of storage and use

The shelf life of Kemira Lux and Kemira Universal in dry form is up to five years. Storage conditions are standard: in a cool dry place, out of the reach of children, in a factory container. Kemira Lux liquid in an undisturbed factory container is also stored for five years, but an open bottle must be used within one season. However, the watering solution cannot be stored for a long time, so if you need to water a small amount of plants, then you need to dissolve as much fertilizer as can be used at a time. Kemira is one of the most popular fertilizers, which has long established itself on the market from the very best side. We wish you good harvests.
