  As you know, plants very quickly absorb nitrates in any quantity, but they do not like nitrogen in the form of ammonia. Rather, nitrogen in this form is not able to accumulate in the tissues of plants, that is, feeding fruits, vegetables, flowers and ammonia can not be afraid of oversaturation with ammonia.

  In order for organic fertilizers to finally saturate the plants with such necessary nitrogen, they must undergo a process of decomposition of organic matter( manure, litter) with the help of microorganisms. Ammonia is converted into forms available for absorption by plants directly, without the participation of any microorganisms from the outside.

  Ammonia - this is the same ammonia solution.

About the lack of nitrogen will tell the state of your pets:

  • yellowing, pallor of the lower leaves on seedlings and adult plants;
  • thin, weak stalk and small leaves;
