Fertilizer for Strawberries NPK 4-8-12 + 2MgO in a 1Kg Mini-pack

The 'La Tradition du Jardinier' Strawberry Fertilizer is an organo-mineral fertilizer enriched with magnesia designed to meet the nutritional needs of strawberries, currants, raspberries, garden blackberries, blackcurrants, and other small fruits. It promotes the formation of flowers and fruits, for abundant and delicious harvests. Ready to use, it comes in the form of easy-to-spread granules. Packaged in a 1Kg mini-pack, this fertilizer is particularly suitable for fertilizing small gardens and small fruits grown in pots or containers on the terrace or balcony.

This fertilizer comes from both organic materials from living organisms and inert mineral materials such as certain rocks. The nutrients from organic materials provide plant nutrition over an extended period, while the mineral elements are directly and quickly assimilated by the roots. Its formulation is NPK 4-8-12 + 2 MgO. This means it is composed of:

• 4% nitrogen (N): this element contributes to the development of non-reproductive aerial parts of the plant, especially leaves and stems.
• 8% phosphorus (P), which strengthens plant resistance and contributes to root development.
• 12% potassium (K): essential for good harvests, it promotes flowering and fruit development.
• 2% magnesia or magnesium oxide (MgO), which promotes the assimilation of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulphur. This element also intensifies the colour of flowers and foliage, as well as the taste quality of fruits and vegetables.

Uses: from March to October, at planting and bi-monthly maintenance (every 15 days)

Incorporate into the planting soil. For regular maintenance, spread the fertilizer preferably in the evening so that the granules absorb moisture overnight and quickly dissolve. Lightly water the next morning to fully dissolve the product and allow it to penetrate the roots.

Dosage: planting: 50g/m² - bi-monthly maintenance (March to October): 50g/m², approximately 9 plants.

Plants need water, about twenty essential nutrients that they find in mineral form in the soil, carbon dioxide (CO₂) present in the air, and solar energy essential for photosynthesis. The basic elements, called macronutrients, are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). They must be present in the soil in significant quantities. The secondary elements, less predominant but nevertheless essential, are calcium (Ca), sulphur (S), and magnesium (Mg). Finally, the trace elements, necessary in very small quantities, are represented by iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu), boron (B), zinc (Zn), chlorine (Cl), sodium (Na), cobalt (Co), vanadium (V), and silicon (Si). The role of a fertilizer is to compensate for soil deficiencies and provide, through optimal dosage, the elements that promote plant growth, flowering and fruit production, or root, bulb, and tuber development.
