Then the Root Crops Will Grow Large, Sweet and Will Store Perfectly"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">July is exactly that period when carrots and beets already stop spending strength on growing tops and begin to actively form root crops. If at this time the plants lack nutrition, the harvest often turns out small, fibrous and not as sweet as one would like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is one simple feeding that helps replenish the deficit of important elements and noticeably improves the quality of the future harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is better to feed with<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the middle of summer monopotassium phosphate suits excellently. It contains potassium and phosphorus \u2014 exactly those elements that are necessary for root crops during the period of active growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preparing the solution is very simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dissolve 10\u201315 g of monopotassium phosphate in 10 liters of water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Water only on previously moistened soil. For each square meter of the bed approximately 5\u20136 liters of the solution is enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why exactly this feeding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Potassium helps the plants accumulate sugars, thanks to which carrots become sweeter, and beets acquire a saturated taste and colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Phosphorus promotes the development of root crops, makes them denser and helps them store better in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What else is worth doing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After watering slightly loosen the soil between the rows. This way moisture will be preserved longer near the roots, and nutrients will be assimilated faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not forget to regularly remove weeds. They take away moisture and nutrition, because of which the root crops grow significantly more slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What should not be done<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the second half of summer do not abuse nitrogen fertilizers. Excess nitrogen causes vigorous growth of tops, while the root crops themselves remain small, can crack and store worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If such a feeding is carried out in July and moderate watering is continued, already by the moment of harvest carrots will delight with even, juicy and sweet root crops, and beets will grow large, dense and of saturated burgundy colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This material was prepared by the editorial team using artificial intelligence tools.
