Water soluble fertilisers are fertilisers that can be dissolved in water and added to or leached out of the soil easily. With water soluble fertilisers, it is easy to control the precise amount of nutrients available for your plants (the control is more exact with soilless mixes). Soluble fertilisers usually have N-P-K numbers listed on their labels. The numbers listed are not always the exact percentages; they are an indication of the smallest percentage of the listed element that the fertiliser contains.

The N stands for nitrogen, the P for phosphorus and the K for potassium, Ca for Calcium, S for Sulphur, Mg for Magnesium, Mn for Manganese, B for Boron, Fe for Iron, Zn for Zinc and Cu for Copper. Trace elements are vital for chlorophyll formation and must be present in minute quantities. Little is known about the exact quantities needed. They function mainly as a catalyst to plant’s processes and the utilisation of other elements. The ultimate goal of applying fertiliser is to supply your plant with the right quantity of nutrients, yet, at the same time not toxifying the soil via over-fertilisation.

At ETG we have a wide range of soluble fertilisers such as MAP Tech, SOP Tech, K-Leaf, Veggie Oemff, Sugar Oemff, Soya Oemff, Potassium Nitrate, Ammonium Sulphate fine, KynoPop, and Boronat. Specially formulated, crop specific and growth stage specific products from our range of products will boost your crop to perform at their best during each growth stage. Each of the tailor-made formulations satisfy the macro and micro nutritional requirements of the plant at a particular phenological stage, and we therefore provide a range of solubles to fulfil every need. These fertilisers are freely available and you should experience no trouble in locating solubles that suit your plant type and needs once you are in our premises or depots country wide.

The directions for usage, given on the products label, should be followed to achieve maximum results with your plants. Our team of agronomists will also support you with expert advice on solubles. With a regular watering/fertilisation system, your plants can achieve amazing results and in some instances the products can almost double the growth of slow, sickly plants. Using water soluble fertilisers is the easiest way to steadily feed your plants with the most nutrients that they are able to absorb, thereby, increasing the rate of growth. It is also the easiest fertiliser to apply for beginners and professional farmers alike, and therefore the most widely used.

So try it with your plants and see what amazing results you too can achieve through proper application of the comprehensive range of water soluble fertilisers that we stock at ETG.
