Täiendväetis

Täiendväetis, also known as a supplementary fertilizer, is a plant nutrient product used to provide specific elements that may be lacking in the soil or in the primary fertilizer application. Unlike main fertilizers which aim to provide a broad range of essential nutrients, täiendväetis is typically used to correct deficiencies in particular micronutrients or macronutrients that are crucial for plant growth and health. These can include elements such as iron, zinc, manganese, boron, or even supplemental nitrogen or phosphorus, depending on the plant's specific needs.

The application of täiendväetis is often based on soil testing or visual observation of plant symptoms indicating a deficiency. For example, yellowing leaves (chlorosis) can often be a sign of iron deficiency, and a täiendväetis containing iron can rectify this. These fertilizers are available in various forms, including foliar sprays, which are applied directly to the leaves for rapid absorption, and granular or liquid forms that can be incorporated into the soil. Their use helps to optimize plant development, improve crop yields, and enhance the overall quality of produce by ensuring that plants have access to all the necessary nutrients for their life cycle. Täiendväetis plays a vital role in precision agriculture and sustainable farming practices, allowing for targeted nutrient management.
