Asparagus

Complete, efficient and immediate nutrition for higher yields and better quality

Basic Information

Asparagus is a perennial plant and its production cycle depends on the variety, the environmental conditions, and the cultivation practices. The crop can reach a lifetime of up to 12 years. The products of photosynthesis are translocated to the rhizomes and roots, where they accumulate. The shoots are formed with the reserves accumulated by this process. Fertilizers are applied to ensure vital above-ground growth with a long assimilation phase and root growth in order to store the largest amount of carbohydrates in the reserve sites.

Important instructions for use: If several products are mixed while using our product, unforeseen reciprocal effects may occur. It is not possible to foresee all conditions that can occur in practice (e.g. temperature, kind of water, crop protection agents). Therefore, it is highly recommended to test the compatibility and the application of the intended products on a small scale first. We disclaim any responsibilities for damages which may ensue from interactions based on mixtures – especially – with other products, crop protection agents, plant protection products or fertilizers and/or from unusual conditions (temperature, kind of water, etc.).

Detailed Description

A constantly sufficient nutrient supply is the basis for a successful yield and good quality in asparagus cultivation. In the early stages after plantation the crop is very sensitive to nutrient deficiencies, particularly to the lack of nitrogen. The security of the nitrogen supply is significantly increased through the use of ammonium-stabilized fertilizers like NovaTec^® and, in combination with the proportionate ammonium nutrition, leads to a significant yield and quality effect compared to conventional fertilization. The Blaukorn^® and NovaTec^®product line consists of granulated special mineral fertilizers with a wide range of applications for various situations (e.g. content of nutrients in the soil). The choice of fertilizer formulation is best made after soil analysis. High quantities of potassium support a healthy growth and improve the quality parameters. Granular products with an emphasis on potassium like NovaTec^® Classic 12-8-16 or NovaTec^® Premium 15-3-20 are under normal conditions the best choice for quality nutrition. It is also very important to supply good reserves for the roots and rhizomes because the yield of the following year strongly depends on these.
