The fact that it is necessary to lime sour soils - practically all land owners know. Entering into the soil of lime and similar fertilizers - is the main way of fight against the increased acidity of soils harmful to many grown-up plants, including, and in the protected soil.
Modern greenhouses, especially with polycarbonate covering, serve as the place of cultivation as early products, seedling of vegetables and flowers, and main harvest during the whole aestivo-autumnal season. Plants demand the strengthened power supply in limited space, and introduction of limy fertilizers is simply vital. The best time of introduction of such fertilizers is the late fall when redigging of beds in greenhouses is carried out. Superficial introduction on the soil will not yield result and will be senseless.
Why to introduce the deoxidating fertilizers?
For a long time on beds mineral fertilizers are regularly introduced, and many of them acidify the soil (urea, ammonium nitrate, calcic saltpeter, potassium sulfate, etc.). On the other hand, the majority of cultures take away in large number calcium from the soil for the power supply. These are cucumbers, pepper, tomatoes, eggplants, cabbage, salad, garden radish, flower cultures, etc. So, in practice the land owners quite often face the shortage of calcium in the soil on pepper and tomatoes in the form of topmost decay of fruits during fructification.
Siderata, cultivated in greenhouses at peregnivaniye, also form many nitrogenous substances which increase acidity of the soil on beds.
What gives lime application?
Calcium extinguishes the increased acidity in the soil. As a result, physical properties of the soil improve that stimulates activity of useful microorganisms, bacteria which ogranik, including humus and compost take active part in processes of mineralization. In the soil more batteries, available to plants, are formed. The structure of the soil improves. It becomes more water passed.
What limy fertilizers the best for entering into the soil?
Dolomite powder is considered the best fertilizer. In its structure there is not only calcium, but also magnesium which is vital to plants, especially sensitive to its shortcoming: many grades of tomatoes, pepper, cucumbers. Wood ashes will be equivalent fertilizer to dolomitka.
