In plant and lawn care, fertilizers play a key role in providing essential nutrients for healthy and vigorous growth. The right product should be chosen based on the characteristics of the plant to be treated and the stage it is in.

There are three main types of fertilizers on the market. Granular fertilizers, in the form of small solid granules, which are spread on the soil and, subsequently, incorporated or irrigated to promote their dissolution. This type of fertilizer is known for its durability in delivering nutrients, as their slow dissolution gradually releases nutrients to plants over time. This allows for consistent and prolonged nutrition over weeks or months, depending on the formulation.
Water-soluble fertilizers, as the name suggests, are products that are distinguished by their ability to dissolve in water. These fertilizers are sold in powder or crystal form and can be easily mixed with water to create a nutrient solution. They are particularly suitable for irrigation by fertigation systems or for application by sprinklers. Water-soluble fertilizers provide fast availability of nutrients to plants because they are immediately absorbed through the roots or leaves. This makes them useful when plants require a rapid response or immediate nutritional rebalancing.
Liquid fertilizers are formulated as concentrated nutrient solutions and differ from other types because they are ready-to-use. Liquid fertilizers offer the convenience of ready availability and ease of use. They can be applied directly to the roots or leaves of plants by irrigation, sub-irrigation or drip irrigation, providing a rapid supply of nutrients. This type of fertilizer is particularly suitable for green roof systems, plants in pots or plants that require specific, targeted action, especially in stressful situations where they struggle to absorb nutrients.
Unmaco is a manufacturer of granular and liquid fertilizers specifically for turf and gardening. According to the needs, we can produce them with tailor-made and third-party formulations, even with customized bags.
The choice between granular, water-soluble and liquid fertilizers depends on the specific needs of plants and growing conditions. It is advisable to follow the technician’s directions and take into account factors such as crop type, soil type, availability of water resources and environmental conditions.
Remember that proper application of fertilizers, respecting the recommended doses, is essential to ensure optimal nutrition and prevent the risk of overdosing or negative impacts on the surrounding environment.
