The summer cottage season is just around the corner, which means that soon you will need to start taking careful care of your onions.
However, there are a number of fertilizers that at first glance seem useful, but in fact can cause harm.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told us which fertilizers are best forgotten.
According to the expert, this type of fertilizer should be used strictly at a certain time.
Organic Nutrients
Compost, manure and humus are certainly a real treasure trove of useful microelements.
However, it is better not to add them to the soil during the onion growing season, otherwise the harvest will be sour and small.
Ammonia
The fact is that ammonia is an amide form of nitrogen.
This type of fertilizer can seriously burn the root system of ripening onions with its vapors.
Yeast fertilizer
Once in the soil, yeast creates a favorable environment for the development of not onions, but soil bacteria.
As a result, the crop may become sick and also produce excessive feathers.
Earlier we talked about the kind of fertilizer that helps gardeners get an excellent tomato harvest.
