Segaväetisteks

Segaväetisteks refers to a specific type of fertilizer blend in Estonian agricultural terminology. It translates literally to "mixed fertilizer" or "composite fertilizer." This classification encompasses any fertilizer product that contains two or more essential plant nutrients, combined either physically or chemically. These nutrients are typically macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, but can also include secondary nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and sulfur, as well as micronutrients like iron, manganese, and zinc.

The purpose of segaväetisteks is to provide a balanced supply of nutrients to crops, addressing multiple deficiencies simultaneously. They are manufactured in various forms, including granular, liquid, or powder. The specific composition of a segaväetis is tailored to the needs of different crops, soil types, and growth stages. For example, a blend might be formulated with a higher proportion of nitrogen for leafy growth or a balanced ratio for flowering and fruiting. Their use is common in modern farming practices to optimize crop yield and quality while managing nutrient application efficiency.
