väetiselahus

Väetiselahus refers to a liquid solution containing dissolved plant nutrients, commonly used in agriculture and horticulture to provide essential elements for plant growth. This method of fertilization allows for precise application and rapid absorption by plants, as nutrients are readily available in ionic form.

The composition of väetiselahus can vary widely depending on the specific needs of the plants and the growth stage. Common components include macronutrients like nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), as well as secondary nutrients such as calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulfur (S). Micronutrients like iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), boron (B), and molybdenum (Mo) are also often included in smaller quantities.

Väetiselahus can be applied through various methods, including foliar application, where the solution is sprayed directly onto the leaves, or fertigation, where it is delivered through irrigation systems, directly to the root zone. This approach ensures that plants receive a consistent and balanced supply of nutrients, promoting healthier growth, increased yields, and improved crop quality.

The preparation of väetiselahus typically involves dissolving solid fertilizer compounds or using pre-mixed liquid concentrates in water. The concentration of the solution is a critical factor and must be carefully controlled to avoid over-fertilization or nutrient deficiencies. Factors such as water quality, pH, and the presence of other substances in the water can influence nutrient availability and uptake by the plants.
