When growing strawberries in heavy soil that does not pass water and air badly and, as a result, it does not evenly distribute trace elements, special complex preparations are indispensable. One of such preparations is azofoska - a mineral fertilizer consisting of the main microelements necessary for the active development of a plant:
- phosphorus;
- potassium;
- nitrogen;
- small amount of sulfur.
Due to this balanced composition of trace elements, azofoska is suitable for use on all types of soil, including clay and sandy soil.
When is it better to fertilize azofoska strawberries?
Apply azofosku for strawberry fertilizer is necessary in the spring or summer. The preparation should be brought in the heated-up earth. Nitrates accumulate in cold soil, so azofoska is not used for autumn feeding.
