1. Fertilizing with nitrogen

FIO is a fertilizer in which nitrogen as one of the main elements is used almost entirely. It is formed during the interaction of soil acids with granules and this process lasts throughout the growing season (at soil temperature below 8-5 ° C biological life dies and nitrogen is not produced.) Continuous and uninterrupted access to nitrogen causes stable growth of the plant and prevents deficiencies or overdose. It should be remembered that too big supply may lead to a decrease in product quality. The highest efficiency is shown in soils rich in nutrients. FIO not only provides nitrogen to our soil, but also plenty of other elements, such as: Phosphorus, Calcium, Sulfur, Magnesium, as well as Zinc, Copper, Iron and Manganese.

2. Fertilizing with magnesium

Magnesium is an essential nutrient closely related to the vital functions of plants. Often overlooked in plant production. It plays key role and has a huge impact on the production of high-quality crops. Magnesium deficiency is one of the factors causing weak crops, especially on low pH and light soils, where it is easily washed away from the arable layer.

Lack of this element leads to chemical degradation of the soil, especially an increase in the concentration of toxic for plants aluminium. The more acidic the soil, the more aluminium compounds are soluble and more easily accessible to plants.
 

Magnesium in the plant

- is a very important nutrient, necessary for plant growth.
- photosynthesis - as a component of chlorophyll - a green pigment that absorbs light
- magnesium stimulates the development of the root system - regulates the process of plants nutrients intake from the soil.
- is responsible for the absorption and movement of phosphorus
- helps with the transformation of simple and complex sugars
- increases plant resistance to adverse factors (drought, diseases).
Magnesium (MgO) content in FIO fertilizer stays at about 2.47 ≈ 49 kg

3. Fertilizing with sulfur

- is necessary for all living organisms. Occurs in organic and mineral form
- sulfur sulfur (SO4) is best absorbed by plants
- richest in sulfur are organic soils
- increases the efficiency of nitrogen fertilization.
- plants equipped with sulfur show greater resistance to frost and drought.
- sulphurous plants: rapeseed, charlock, cruciferous plants, including brassica vegetables.
- sulfur deficiency affects: protein content and quality, plant colour (plants fade), slower growth, weaker flowering,
- helps with plants nitrogen uptake process

About corn

Corn is one of the plants that utilizes nutrients from natural fertilizers best, which is why they should be used as first when talking about this plant.

With a yield of 1 t, it absorbs approx. 25 kg of nitrogen (N), 12 kg of phosphorus (P2O5), 30 kg of potassium (K2O), 10 kg of calcium (CaO), 10 kg of magnesium (MgO), 4 kg of sulfur (S), 11 g of boron (B), 14 g of copper (Cu), 110 g of manganese (Mn), 85 g of zinc (Zn). Corn shows high sensitivity to zinc, manganese and copper deficiency.

1. Fertilizing with nitrogen

During early stages of development, nitrogen is taken up in small amounts. From leaf phase 4-5, more intensively (July, August).
The use of FIO significantly reduces losses caused by nitrogen leaching and volatilization and allows it to be delivered to the plant during whole aforementioned period. We must, however, remember about using full potassium fertilization in corn cultivation.

2. Fertilizing with zinc

- an ingredient necessary to obtain a good crop - high sensitivity to deficiency
- lack of zinc leads to 10-15% crop loss
- stimulates root system growth
- increases the efficiency of water and nutrients intake
- is responsible for the production of growth hormones in young plant tissues
- shapes the yield structure (length of the cob, number of whorls and number of rows of kernel on the cob)
- stimulates nitrogen uptake,
- increases photosynthesis efficiency,
- plays an important role in plants breathing process and CO2 transport
- improves plant health
- the deadline for supplying the plantation with zinc is the 5-6 leaf phase.
  Corn kernels accumulate about 70% of the zinc taken, which confirms that it is a critical element during the period of crop structure building.
