(Sub-surface-Deep root Fertilization)
The main reason to fertilize trees and shrubs is to bolster their health. Fertilization is very important part of maintenance to keep trees and shrubs green and healthy. It is especially important to fertilize urban soil which is heavily compacted (no oxygen supply to roots), poorly drained, low in organic matter, and competes with your lawn for macro and micro nutrients. There is always need to improve the texture and structure of soil, otherwise, even the nutrients are available in the soil mass but they will not be present in the available form, to be used by the tree.
Direct application of sub-surface deep root fertilizer provides nutrients to soil that are normally lacking in urban soils. It also promotes plant growth by helping plant cells to fight against different diseases and insect pests, in an ecological and economical way, whereby enhancing their appearance. Our fertilization programme can help you achieve this kind of success with your trees and shrubs. We provide a well balanced diet of macro and micro nutrients application in early spring and fall, according to the need of your plants health.
As, most of companies are using only a mixture of macro nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, but, it is evinced that the urban soil lacks in micro nutrients too.
Does your Tree Need Fertilizer?
Trees growing in their natural habitat such as forests have access to decaying and recycling of organic matter where they get all minerals to survive and grow healthy. In urban landscape natural recycling is not so prominent and feasible therefore macro and micro nutrients (fertilizer) must be added to the soil to keep trees strong and healthy.
When should you fertilize your Tree?
In Northern temperate climates during fall to mid-spring is a good time to fertilize trees. During these times the roots take nutrients from the soil to promote healthy functions of the tree such as disease resistance and root development instead of putting out new growth.
Fertilizing can help trees fight infections and overcome mineral deficiencies that occur during the growth season. If you are fertilizing in mid to late summer do not use formulations high in nitrogen. This is will prevent new growth that may easily damage in the winter. Moreover, disease and insect pest infestation can also be avoided, by using low dosage of nitrogen.
