Ornamental plants
Basic Information
Demand orientated fertilization is of fundamental importance to achieve optimum crop results. The nutrient requirements of the crop are adapted to the production target, i.e. the desired quality, e.g. the plant size and growth habit. The nutrients available in the substrate and soil are balanced and thus determine the amount of fertilizer that must be added to cover the nutrient requirements. The quality of the irrigation water determines which fertilizer should be used and the amount that should be applied. Knowledge about the nutrient content of the water by means of up-to-date analysis is therefore the first prerequisite for successful crop management.
Detailed Desription
Ornamentals are cultivated in a wide range of different cropping systems. From open field to greenhouse production we have the right products and the know-how in application.
Triabon® and Basacote® Plus fertilizers are the best choice for pot plants to ensure success with only one application into the substrate. Our water-soluble fertilizer Hakaphos® or the unique NovaTec® Solub technology offer environmentally friendly solutions for fertigation.The coordinated liquid biostimulants like Basfoliar® Kelp SL or Basfoliar® Top-N SL are a good choice for sensitive seedlings and cuttings. To avoid micronutrient deficiency COMPO EXPERT provides a complete micronutrient solution with Fetrilon® Combi. For the substrate industry we offer a wide range of specialty fertilizers for all kinds of peat based mixes and alternative substrate components like cocos or wood fiber.
