Description

Foliar nutrition of plants
Technical field
This invention relates to an agent for foliar nutrition of plants, which will find application in the form of a suspension fertilizer for stimulating plant growth and development.
Background of the invention
Fertilizers produced from natural minerals are applied in various fields of agriculture, such as horticulture, fruit growing, viticulture, etc., to optimize soil fertility and, consequently, to increase the yield and quality of production of cultivated plants. This type of fertiliser is mainly applied to the soil in granular or powdered form. Their action is varied and they affect both soil acidity and the growth and development of agricultural crops. The main disadvantage of this type of fertiliser is its slow uptake by plants and the relatively low content of the main nutrients in its composition.
Patent document BG4333U describes an agent for foliar and soil nutrition of plants, representing an organic-mineral liquid fertiliser of natural origin, suitable for arable, fruit and vegetable crops. The known product includes humic and fulvic acids, algae, glycine, potassium oxide as well as iron, manganese, zinc, boron, copper and molybdenum dissolved in water.
Combining natural minerals with organic substances, and changing their formulation - as suspension concentrates, and the way they are treated, will lead to an increase in their efficiency and their widespread use in practice. Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to create a plant foliar nutrition agent which, by optimally combining micronized minerals and organic substances of natural origin, stimulates plant growth and development, increasing yield and the quality of the finished product.
The task was solved by developing a plant foliar nutrition product, which is an organic-mineral suspension liquid fertiliser and includes humic acids, fulvic acids, potassium oxide, the trace elements iron, manganese, zinc, boron, copper and molybdenum, and water. According to the invention, the plant foliar nutrition composition further comprises a natural mineral dolomite representing calcium magnesium carbonate, the components thereof being in the following weight percentages: dolomite from 35% to 40%; fulvic acids from 3% to 5%; humic acids from 1% to 3%; potassium oxide from 0.5% to 1%; iron from 0.1 % to 0.2% ; manganese from 0.04% to 0.06%; zinc from 0.02% to 0.04%; boron from 0,03% to 0,05%; copper from 0.01% to 0.03; molybdenum from 0.002% to 0.004%; and water up to 100%.
In one preferred embodiment, the components of the formulated composition are in the following weight percentages: dolomite - 40%; fulvic acids - 3%; humic acids - 2%; potassium oxide - 0,5 %; iron - 0,12%; manganese - 0,06%; zinc - 0,04%; boron - 0,04%; copper - 0,02; molybdenum - 0,004% and water up to 100%.
It is an advantage of the invention that the foliar nutrition agent created is formulated as a suspension concentrate, which allows optimal penetration through the leaves of the plants, fully absorbing the nutrients. A further advantage is the balanced combination of dolomite with fulvic acids, humic acids and trace elements, as plants thus take up more nutrients that are vital for the optimal functioning of a number of physiological and biochemical processes.
Description of embodiment of the invention
The plant foliar nutrition product created is a suspension organo -mineral fertilizer of natural origin which is versatile for use in vegetable, field, and fruit crops. Its balanced composition contributes to accelerated metabolism in plants, increased productivity and overcoming stress conditions caused by adverse abiotic factors.
In a preferred embodiment, the plant foliar nutrition agent based on dolomite, fulvic acids, humic acids and micro elements has components in the following weight percentages: dolomite - 40%; fulvic acids - 3%; humic acids - 2 %; potassium oxide - 0,5 %; iron - 0,12%; manganese - 0,06%; zinc - 0,04%; boron - 0,04%; copper - 0,02; molybdenum - 0,004% and water up to 100%.
The components used have the following characteristics:
Dolomite is a natural mineral representing calcium magnesium carbonate. In agriculture, dolomite flour is used in the form of improvers that neutralise soil acidity. Such fertilisers improve soil structure, optimise the activity of microorganisms and improve the assimilation of other nutrients.
Fulvic acid is a nutrient found in the humus layer of the soil and provides plants with a healthy habits and high yield. Fulvic acid is produced in extremely small quantities by millions of beneficial microbes that act on decaying plant matter. It combines with various minerals to create a complex molecular compound. Fulvic acid works by activating nutrients in the soil so that they can be used by plant cells.
Humic acids are produced because of the breakdown of organic matter in the soil by microbial life. Humic acids are macromolecules soluble in alkaline media, which become an excellent choice for improving soil properties due to their high molecular weight. At the same time, they provide better management and mobility of nutrients available in the substrate and significantly improve water retention.
Potassium is one of the essential nutrients needed for crop growth. It is usually taken up in large quantities and accounts for between 1.5 and 2% of the weight of the plant - mainly in the leaves and stems. In general, potassium helps to increase crop yield and improve crop quality.
The trace elements iron, manganese, zinc, boron, copper, and molybdenum are involved in the transport of substances, enzyme synthesis, cell division, and certain physiological and biochemical processes (photosynthesis, respiration and growth). Boron is important in the transport of sugars and is responsible for the synthesis of some amino acids. Copper is a component of enzymes involved in photosynthesis, as is iron. Molybdenum is responsible for nitrogen metabolism as well as fixing nitrogen levels. Magnesium is involved in the construction of chloroplasts and zinc is responsible for the hormonal balance in the plant.
The plant foliar nutrition is obtained as follows:
The reactor is charged with the required amount of deionized water, then heated to 35°C. The starting materials are fed successively with continuous stirring in the following sequence: water, dolomite, fulvic/humic acids. The duration of stirring is 30 minutes until the components are completely homogenised. In a second production reactor the trace elements are chelated by continuously stirring the raw materials providing: iron, manganese, copper, boron, molybdenum and zinc. After complete dissolution of the components, the chelated solution is transferred to the reactor with dolomite and fulvic/humic acids. The resulting mixture is homogenized for 20 minutes at 25°C and directed to the dosing plant.
A biological trial of the developed plant foliar nutrition product on the yield and quality of pepper, Harlequin variety. The experimental work was carried out in an unheated steel-glass greenhouse on a total area of plots: 300 m2; number of plants per 1 da - 3000 pcs; experimental design - block-linear - 50+105+105+50/30 cm; date of transplanting - 25.04.2022; date of harvest - June - August 2022; soil type - alluvial meadow.
