Fertilizer Master: instructions for use, composition, reviews

Fertilizer Master is a complex water-soluble composition produced by the Italian company Valagro. It has been on the market for over ten years. It has several types, differing in composition and scope. The presence of various trace elements in different proportions makes it possible to select the optimal feeding for a particular crop.

Fertilizer description Master

Using top dressing, you can achieve the following results:

  • accelerate the growth of plantings;
  • build up green mass;
  • activate synthesis, metabolism and cell growth;
  • improve the condition of the root system;
  • increase the number of ovaries on each plant.
Important! It is recommended to use Master fertilizer for both seedlings and young and adult specimens.

You can apply top dressing in various ways:

  • root watering;
  • foliar application;
  • leaf irrigation;
  • drip irrigation;
  • point application;
  • sprinkling.

The master fertilizer line differs in that it contains chlorine-free water-soluble substances. It can be used for intensive farming in areas with arid climates, with depleted land prone to leaching.

The manufacturer does not prohibit mixing all 9 types of fertilizers from the basic series. To do this, you can take dry compositions and select proportions based on the characteristics of growing certain crops in specific conditions.

Top dressing Master allows you to get a consistently high yield on any soil

Important! Fertilizers are allowed to be used only in dissolved form. It is impossible to enrich the soil with dry mixtures.

Amateur gardeners and farmers should take into account that the original dressings from the Italian manufacturer are presented in the form of water-soluble granules and are packaged in packages weighing 25 kg and 10 kg.

Valagro proprietary formulations are often used for small-packaged packaging by other companies and are sold under similar names. These products tend to be of high quality. In addition, you can find on sale liquid solutions made on the basis of dry Italian raw materials.

Attention! It is necessary to use such solutions with caution; before buying, check the presence of a label with a chemical composition, instructions and an expiration date. If this data is not on the package, the fertilizer is a fake.

Composition Master

The entire line of Master fertilizers is provided with a special marking of the following type: XX (X) .XX (X) .XX (X) + (Y). These designations indicate:

  • XX (X) - percentage in the composition of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, or N, P, K;
  • (Y) - the amount of magnesium (this element is important for soils prone to leaching).

The composition of the Master fertilizers includes nitrogen in the ammonium form, as well as in the nitrite and nitrate form. By absorbing the latter, plants are able to produce proteins. Ammonium nitrogen differs in that it is not susceptible to leaching and reactions with the soil, which allows plants to receive the necessary nutrition gradually, avoiding deficiency.

Potassium is present in the composition as an oxide. It is required for the production of sugar, which allows you to improve the taste of vegetables and fruits, to make them more pronounced.

The shape of the fruits becomes more correct, they do not have damage, deviations

Phosphates are the elements that contribute to the growth and development of the root system. Their lack threatens that other nutrients will not be absorbed in sufficient quantities.

Fertilizers Master also contain small amounts of the following substances:

  • magnesium;
  • calcium;
  • iron;
  • boron;
  • manganese;
  • zinc;
  • copper.

Their role is to participate in metabolic processes, improve the quality of the crop and its quantity.

Comment! You can choose a fertilizer based on its composition if green spaces suffer from a deficiency of a particular substance.

On the packages of some of the composition from the Master series, there are additional numbers: +2, +3 or +4. They indicate magnesium oxide content. This component is important for the prevention of chlorosis, the enhancement of the production of chlorophyll.

The Master magnesium included in the fertilizers helps plants to absorb nitrogen.

Application of fertilizer Master 18 18 18 is possible for plants with decorative green leaves. They are applied throughout the growing season by fergitation or leaf spraying. Fertilizer master 18 18 18 is applied at intervals of 9 to 12 days.

Fertilizer master 13 40 13 is recommended to use at the beginning of the growing season. It is saturated with phosphorus oxide, therefore it promotes the development of the root system. In addition, they can be fed seedlings for better survival during transplantation.

The product marked 10 18 32 is suitable for berries and vegetables, during the active formation and ripening of fruits. Apply daily, by fergitation method. Suitable for soils with a high nitrogen content. Promotes the rapid ripening of berries and vegetables, the growth of bulbous crops.

Fertilizer 17 6 ​​18 - a complex with a small amount of phosphorus oxides. It is saturated with nitrogen and potassium, which makes the plants more resistant to adverse or stressful situations. Provides the duration of flowering, so this type of fertilizer Master is suitable for roses.

Fertilizer reviews Master

Julia Kutlaeva, 39 years old, Bryansk.
I have been breeding varietal violets for many years. These plants are demanding for lighting and watering. I tried many different dressings. The result was not always satisfactory. But the Master was completely satisfied. My pets feel great, grow leaves well and often bloom beautifully.
Vladimir Korobkin, 51 years old, Kovrov.
I take different types of fertilizer Master. I feed the cucumbers with leaf irrigation. I use it when fruit trees begin to bloom, until the petals bloom. The harvest is excellent. But for root feeding, the Master, it seems to me, is ineffective.
Irina Podolskaya, 45 years old, Taganrog.
Fertilizer Master is very convenient to use. I water it with strawberries. I noticed that I started picking almost twice as many berries. Another plus of feeding is affordable cost.
