There is hardly any other topic that garden owners have more divergent than on the subject of greenhouses fertilize. That near-natural gardening completely dispenses with industrially produced fertilizers with chemical additives, is just as clear as the insight into a heavily used greenhouse floor with targeted additions from Nutrients and trace elements to make these ingredients available to plants. However, it is undisputed that through over-fertilization with organic as well as inorganic soil improvers as well a lot of plant damage occurs (can!) as if these nutritional supplements were completely dispensed with.

The small amount of compost is not always enough
One Soil analysis from the laboratory provides very reliable information about the extent to which the nutrients required are at all possible are present and, just as important, whether they are available in an optimal concentration for the plants stand. However, a nutritional deficiency or missing trace elements cannot be left alone
compensate by adding compostwhich may still contain pathogens and weed seeds. Therefore, inorganic resp. Organic solid or depot fertilizers cannot be completely dispensed with, but appropriately and only to the extent that the plants use it actually need for healthy growth.Fertilizing nutrients and their functions in the greenhouse
What trace elements and nutrients do when fertilizing in the greenhouse or (if there is no or wrong Supply), we will show you in the following brief overview, which, however, does not entitle you to Completeness exalts.
| Nutrient type | Nutritional properties |
|---|---|
| nitrogen | Promotes growth of shoots and leaves; serves the plants for the formation of enzymes and proteins; |
| potassium | Regulates the fluid balance and serves to strengthen the tissue; promotes resistance to organic pests; |
| iron | Essential for chlorophyll and enzyme formation in plants; Use is particularly necessary on extremely calcareous soil; |
| sulfur | Important building block for the plant's own vitamins, proteins and enzymes; |
| phosphorus | Responsible for flower and fruit formation; important energy storage of plants; |
| calcium | Promotes cell reproduction and the strength of the cell walls as well as length and root growth in the plants; |
| manganese | Necessary for the assimilation and development of the plant's own enzymes; |
Liquid fertilizer: easy to dose during cultivation
If an acute nutrient deficiency in soil crops is to be compensated for as quickly as possible, the greenhouse can fertilize immediately through the irrigation water to be done with. The dosage of the means and the frequency of their use should, however, strictly follow the recommendations given printed on the packaging are to be carried out.
Tips
If only the trace element deficiency of individual components is found in the result of soil analyzes, then very targeted fertilizers are sufficient to improve the soil. Special trace element fertilizers are available on the market for this, for example exclusively for an exclusively diagnosed iron deficiency.
