8 Granular Triple uper hosphate (T) Granular ingle uper hosphate () Triple uper hosphate is a high source of phosphorus T is a produced by grinding and acidulating phosphate rock Grinding increases hosphate rock reactivity, and acidulation with phosphoric acid makes the phosphate water-soluble, which enables the plants to take up the nutrients The high water-solubility of the in T increases the effectiveness of the fertilizer 2 O ingle uper hosphate is a phosphate fertilizer produced by grinding and acidulating phosphate rock Grinding increases the reactivity, and acidulation with sulphuric acid makes the hosphate watersoluble, which enables the plants to take up the nutrients The high water-solubility of the in increases the effectiveness of the fertilizer Because of the use of sulphuric acid in its production, contains a large amount of soluble sulphur, which makes it ideal for soils with -deficiency Ideal for crops with high sulphur () requirements, such as legumes (alfalfa, clover, soybean) and cruciferae (canola, rapeseed) Ideal for drilling with grain legume seeds (such as soybean) that require ample supplies of and Ideal for top-dressing of pastures: promotes legume production, thus raising both the forage quality and the status of the pasture An additional 0.5% of boron can be included 2 O B

9 ovaphos artially Acidulated hosphate Our nutrients play an essential role in your success A source of phosphorus for acidic soils Longer release of with residual value due to partly acidulation, less leaching and fixation thus more efficient fertilization Available in various levels of acidulation and phosphorus content Effective calcium source for raising soil ph, improving cell firmness in plant tissue Available in granular form Tailor made formulae with additional O or micronutrients pecifically designed for acidic soils with low ph, and/or tropical and subtropical soils Ideal for perennial crops, such as pastures, as a maintenance fertilizer with additional supply of and 2 O O ITROGE HOHORU OTAIUM MAGEIUM ULHUR CALCIUM 16 17

10 ITROGE HOHORU deficiency in corn deficiency in corn is a major component of chlorophyll, the compound by which plants use sunlight energy during photosynthesis is an essential part of living cells and a component of proteins and enzymes essential for metabolic processes is a component of AT, the energytransfer compound which allows cells to use the energy released in metabolism is a significant component of nucleic acids such as DA, the genetic material that allows plants to grow and reproduce deficiency symptoms General yellowing of older leaves (bottom of plant). The rest of the plant is often light green. Growth is usually stunted. ince nitrogen is mobile within the plant, deficiency symptoms appear on lower and older leaves first. deficiency symptoms mall leaves take on a reddish-purple tint; leaf tips look burnt and older leaves become almost black. tunted growth and poor rooting. ince phosphorus is mobile within the plant, deficiency symptoms appear on lower and older leaves first. improves flower formation and seed production and promotes more uniform and earlier crop maturity is a vital component of AT, the main energy-transfer compound which allows cells to conserve and use the energy released in metabolism has an essential role in photosynthesis is very important in cell division and development of new tissues is an essential component of DA, the genetic material that allows plants to grow and reproduce stimulates root growth and crop development as well as uptake of other nutrients stimulates root development 18 19

11 OTAIUM MAGEIUM deficiency in lettuce deficiency in tomato deficiency symptoms is known as the quality nutrient increases plant vigour increases resistance to diseases and low temperatures is essential in sugar and starch formation is involved in the movement of nutrients through plants Older leaves look scorched around the edges and/or wilted. Interveinal chlorosis (yellowing between the leaf veins) develops. An increase in the plants susceptibility to drought, lodging and plant pathogens is also seen. ince potassium is mobile within the plant, deficiency symptoms appear on lower and older leaves first. deficiency symptoms low growth and leaves turn pale yellow, sometimes just on the outer edges, which then develop interveinal chlorosis. ew growth may be yellow with dark spots. ince magnesium is mobile within the plant, deficiency symptoms appear on lower and older leaves first. is the central component of chlorophyll, the pigment molecule responsible for absorbing sunlight during photosynthesis is involved in the activation of several enzyme systems acts as a phosphorus carrier in plants and is essential for phosphate metabolism is essential for plant respiration is necessary for cell division and protein formation promotes healthy root systems 20 21

12 ULHUR CALCIUM deficiency in citrus deficiency in grapes deficiency symptoms is especially important to plants with high oil content activates a number of enzymes is vital to the formation of amino acids and is crucial in the production of proteins has an important role in photosynthesis improves crop winter hardiness deficiency symptoms ew leaves turn pale yellow, older growth stays green. Leaf veins lighter than surrounding areas. lants are small and their growth is stunted. ince sulphur is immobile within the plant, deficiency symptoms appear on younger leaves. ew leaves are distorted, curled or hook-shaped. The growing tip may die. Root tips die and root growth is slow. Contributes to blossom end rot in tomatoes, tip burn of cabbage and brown/black heart of escarole and celery. ince calcium is immobile within the plant, deficiency symptoms appear on younger leaves. is responsible for plant cell division and for strengthening cell walls helps convert nitrate-nitrogen into forms needed for protein formation activates a number of plant growthregulating enzyme systems contributes to improved disease resistance Leguminous plants need for efficient nitrogen fixation improves the absorption of other nutrients by roots and their translocation within the plant 22 23

13 ulphur in soil and in the plant Atmospheric deposition of ulphate in fertilizer ulphate behaves like nitrate in the soil. In the plant nitrogen and sulphur are both essential building blocks for proteins. ulphur deficiency will severely reduce the efficient use of nitrogen and limit protein synthesis. Uptake Crop residues Dung/urine ulphur can only be taken up by plants from the soil solution as sulphate (O 4 2- ). As with readilyavailable nitrate, it can be liable to loss through leaching. pring application of sulphate fertilizer is therefore recommended so that the plant can take it up during its period of active growth, the same principle applies to nitrate. ulphur is required, together with nitrogen, for the formation of proteins and the uptake timings for both are similar.
