The advantages of water-soluble fertilizers
Stefano Di Pietro • 15 febbraio 2021
Water-soluble fertilizers are one of the preferred options for professional farmers due to the many practical and economic advantages over liquid or granular ones.
They are usually produced in the form of a powder, which greatly simplifies and reduces transport costs and can be applied to the soil either as a mixture or as a powder. In this way it is possible to enrich the soil with a very high concentration reserve of easily absorbable nutrients thanks to the complete solubility of the compounds.
The water-soluble fertilizers are also produced with great attention and care, avoiding the use of phytotoxic elements, drugs and non-natural products that could damage the soil and crops.
Other advantages of water-soluble fertilizers compared to traditional ones
The versatility of water-soluble fertilizers and the simplicity of storage make them preferable to liquid or granular ones for various reasons:
- they can be applied periodically to enrich the soil with nutrients in a safe way, even specifically for the current cultivation;
- they can be produced with a different composition and with combinations of elements suitable for specific crops;
- the blends can be created extremely quickly and without the need for specific water, the purity of which can therefore be directly controlled by the grower;
- the mixtures can be used to spray plants to help them defend themselves from parasites or when subjected to stress due to too hot temperatures;
- the powder is composed of pure concentrates of minerals and nutrients that ensure greater benefits than the most commonly used fertilizers.
Other considerations on the use of water-soluble fertilizers
When talking about the advantages of water-soluble fertilizers and the benefits they have for crops, it is necessary to remember to pay attention during their use and to faithfully follow the instructions on the package or the advice of the dealer. Furthermore, the preparation of mixtures, requiring care and precision, must be entrusted to competent personnel. Depending on the crops, adequate equipment and manpower are also required to properly irrigate fertigation without wasting resources.
Nonetheless, companies and professional growers are slowly converting not only for the listed benefits, but also for the reduced costs of storage and transport and the greater attention that is given to eco-sustainable crops in recent years.

La shelf-life, ovvero il periodo di conservazione dopo la raccolta , è un fattore fondamentale per la qualità e il valore commerciale di frutta, verdura e fiori. Fortunatamente, esistono diverse strategie che, applicate già durante la coltivazione, possono aumentare significativamente la shelf-life dei vostri prodotti, riducendo le perdite e garantendo un raccolto fresco e appetibile per un periodo più lungo.

L'adozione di pratiche di concimazione mirata e l'utilizzo di prodotti di precisione non solo portano benefici ambientali, ma anche vantaggi economici per chi lavora la terra La riduzione degli input di fertilizzanti non solo preserva la salute del suolo e dell'ecosistema circostante, ma aiuta anche a contenere i costi di produzione.

Integrare i prodotti biologici e di origine vegetale nella vita quotidiana è più accessibile che mai.
