Vedelväetis

Vedelväetis is a term used in Estonian to describe liquid fertilizer. It is a form of plant nutrient that is applied to the soil or foliage in a liquid state, allowing for rapid absorption by plants. Liquid fertilizers can contain a wide range of essential nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and various micronutrients, depending on the specific formulation.

The advantages of using vedelväetis include its ease of application, particularly with specialized equipment for spraying or drip irrigation. It can be precisely metered to deliver the exact amount of nutrients needed, minimizing waste and potential environmental impact. Furthermore, liquid fertilizers are readily available to plant roots, leading to quicker nutrient uptake and often more immediate visible results compared to granular fertilizers. This makes them a popular choice for many agricultural and horticultural applications, especially for crops that require consistent nutrient supply or during specific growth stages.

Vedelväetis can be derived from various sources, including mineral salts, organic materials like manure or compost extracts, or a combination of both. The choice of vedelväetis depends on factors such as crop type, soil conditions, and the desired nutrient balance. It is important to follow application guidelines carefully to avoid over-fertilization, which can harm plants and lead to environmental issues.
