Perennials such as strawberries, raspberries, currants, gooseberries and fruit trees will start preparing for winter as early as August. To do this, they need different trace elements. If there is a shortage of trace elements in the soil, the plants will be more susceptible to disease and will not be able to recover for the next season, which will also have a significant impact on next year's harvest. Autumn fertilizer contains the necessary substances for winter survival. You will find all the necessary information about autumn fertilizers in the post below.
When should plants be fertilized with autumn fertilizer?
The best time to fertilize is from the second half of August to mid-September. In this case, the plants are able to start absorbing the essential nutrients already during the growing season. Once the plant has stopped growing, the uptake of nutrients becomes very slow and autumn fertilizer is no longer enough to help. Therefore, apply the autumn fertilizer immediately after harvest.
Autumn fertilizer helps the branches to wood faster, increases the formation of reserves for the winter and thus makes the plants more resistant to winter frosts, diseases and other pests. Autumn fertilizer prepares the plants for next year's growth, flowering and crop formation.
How to use autumn fertilizer?
Granular organic fertilizer is easy to spread evenly. Loosen the pellets immediately into the soil, then the plants absorb the fertilizer better. Sprinkle the fertilizer just below the tree line under the trees and shrubs. It is recommended to water the plants after fertilization, then the water will take the necessary nutrients to the roots faster.
More detailed instructions and fertilization standards can be found on the fertilizer packaging, which is definitely worth reading. Preference should be given to organic fertilizers which are produced exclusively from natural substances, plant and animal residues and have a long-term effect. By using organic fertilizers, we can be sure that the next crop will be rich in the necessary vitamins and minerals and will not harm our health.
Autumn planting and autumn fertilizer
Organic autumn fertilizers are also suitable for autumn planting, which is worth mixing in the planting hole in the soil and on the soil, under the crown of the plant and around it.
Autumn fertilizer helps plants to adapt more quickly to new growing conditions.
What are organic fertilizers?
Organic fertilizers consist entirely of natural constituents, such as seaweed, bone meal or natural (rock) phosphate, feathers, cocoa shells and have a long duration of action (3-4 months). Ecofertis organic fertilizers are suitable for use in organic production and have a certificate of conformity from TÜV Nord. As a subtype of organic fertilizers, we also offer non-animal products and a GMO-free fertilizer that is suitable for fertilizing the entire garden.
What is organic-mineral fertilizers?
Organic-mineral fertilizers consist of natural constituents of animal or vegetable origin and are enriched with minerals. They combine the beneficial properties of both organic and mineral fertilizers. They are better incorporated into the soil than mineral fertilizers, do not leach nutrients out of the soil and are less likely to enter water or groundwater.
What is the efficiency of organic fertilizers compared to mineral fertilizers?
Organic fertilizers have a major impact on soil fertility and increase the microbial diversity of soils, resulting in healthier and stronger crops. Organo-mineral fertilizers also have a positive effect on soil fertility and give plant growth a good start due to the addition of rapidly absorbed mineral nutrients. In the case of organic-mineral fertilizers, the so-called start of plant growth is faster, while the organic components of this fertilizer ensure a long-term effect. Mineral fertilizers are directly available to the plant and are rapidly absorbed, but have a negative effect on soil biota due to their acidity. Another negative aspect is the higher leaching of nutrients from the soil. The advantage is a higher concentration of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the fertilizer.
