AgronoBlog – Agriculture Blog Vegetables are edible vegetables whose cultivation is carried out in orchards. These are plants valued for their nutritional qualities, as well as for their flavor that are part of the human diet. Vegetables are the group of plants grown in orchards.
It is consumed as food raw or cooked through different preparations. Includes vegetables, green legumes (broad beans, chickpeas, beans, among others) and peas (peas). Unlike fruit, it is not sweet, but salty. Vegetables are very important for food and good nutrition of the family, their leaves, fruits, roots, stems and flowers are consumed to meet the needs of our body, due to their high content of minerals, vitamins and proteins that help improve and maintain good health.
Phosphorus (P)
Phosphorus (P) is the second most important mineral nutrient in national and world agriculture; The reason is because phosphorus is a very reactive element in the soil and quickly turns into more complex forms that are difficult for plants to absorb. In other words, much of the world’s agricultural land has a high phosphorus sequestration potential. For example, phosphorus is strongly bound to soil particles or fixed in organic matter particles, which limits its availability to crops.
Phosphorus promotes root growth, improves nutrient and water use efficiency and increases yield. Nitrate absorption and reduction is an energy-consuming process, which is supplied by adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Consequently, nitrate metabolism is related to P supply.
Phosphorus fertilization generally has no direct influence on protein concentration in grain crops. However, in some cases P has been found to influence N uptake and metabolism.
For example, plants take up more N due to better root development. It was observed that the application of P in combination with nitrogenous fertilizer decreases the protein concentration compared to the application of N alone.
In contrast to nitrogen, phosphorus is not found in reduced form in plants, but remains as phosphate, either in free form or as an organic compound, mainly as phosphoric ester with hydroxyl groups, or forming energy-rich anhydride bonds. , as is the case of ATP or ADP. It therefore plays a key role in photosynthesis, respiration and all energy metabolism.
Phosphorus participates in a large number of enzymatic reactions that depend on phosphorylation. In most plants, phosphate is easily redistributed from one organ to another, accumulating in young leaves and in developing flowers and seeds. Phosphorus accumulates mainly in the meristematic regions of the stem and roots.
FOSFOLNITRO® is a liquid foliar fertilizer formulated based on phosphorus (40%) and Nitrogen (3%), enriched with fulvic acids to improve its assimilation and use by plants.
FOSFOLNITRO® is recommended to be used as a complement to the nutritional program in agricultural crops.
Protein synthesis, nucleic acids, photosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, energy storage and transfer; root and stem growth and seed formation, among others.
FOSFOLNITRO® is applied by spraying, dissolved in a sufficient amount of water to achieve a good coverage of the foliage. It can be used in both ground and aerial applications. It is not necessary to acidify the application solution when mixing FOSFOLNITRO®.
