The deficiency of micro- and macroelements in wheat and barley during the spring-summer vegetation period leads to lower yields with deteriorated quality. Crop growth slows down and plants lag significantly in their development.
The deficiency of manganese, zinc and copper occurs under the same conditions: humus-rich, sandy, loose soils, high pH value, drought or cold and moisture.
The lack of manganese is manifested by yellow colouring of the leaves, black spots on the leaf, light green veins between the main arteries, and deterioration of quality.
Zinc deficiency is manifested by chlorotic stripes, orange colouring, stunted growth, and small leaves.
Copper deficiency is expressed by a twisted flag leaf and twisted younger leaves, spiral-shaped and drooping leaf tips, (partially) empty buds/ears, poor grain formation, and stunted plants.
Balanced nutrition of wheat and barley must include foliar fertilization with the necessary microelements in an assimilable form, as well as macroelements in quantities sufficient to activate metabolic processes.
In the 2018 farming season as well, wheat and barley producers will be able to rely on the team and products of Lebosol Bulgaria – the specialist in foliar nutrition.
