segédfertz

Segédfert is a Hungarian term that translates to "assistant fertilizer" or "auxiliary fertilizer." It refers to a secondary nutrient source that is applied alongside a primary fertilizer to enhance crop growth and yield. These nutrients are essential for plant development but are required in smaller quantities compared to macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

Segédfert typically includes micronutrients such as iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, and molybdenum, as well as secondary macronutrients like calcium, magnesium, and sulfur. While plants need these in trace amounts, their deficiency can severely limit growth and lead to various physiological disorders. For instance, a lack of iron can cause chlorosis (yellowing of leaves), while insufficient boron can impair flowering and fruit development.

The application of segédfert is a key component of modern, precision agriculture. It allows farmers to address specific nutrient deficiencies in their soil, which are often identified through soil testing. By providing a balanced supply of all essential nutrients, segédfert helps optimize plant health, improve crop quality, and increase overall agricultural productivity. It can be applied in various forms, including granular, liquid, or foliar sprays, depending on the specific nutrient and the crop's requirements.
