Bionova P 20 - 250ml

Characteristics of phosphorus nutrient P 20

Phosphorus plays a stimulating role in root activity, the formation of cell membranes and flowering of plants. It is the basic element in the construction of DNA with a high energy potential in the form of ATP and ADP. Phosphorus promotes sugar metabolism and the formation of enzymes.

P 20 from Bio Nova will have a very rapid action on strengthening root activity and flowering. NPK: 3-20-0

The highest concentration of phosphorus in a developing plant is found in the roots, stems, and vascular tissue.

It acts in cases of deep deficiency. It is essential for carbohydrate metabolism, the formation of cell membranes and the flowering impulse.

• P 20 will be absorbed very quickly by plants.
• It is free of chlorides.
• A dose of 1:1000 increases the total amount of P by 3.5 mmol.

Growth and phosphorus

It is the essential element for all living organisms. It is present in the formation of cells and the transmission of energy. It is a component of cell membranes, DNA, enzymes and some proteins.

In young plants, phosphates are essential because 3/4 of the total absorption of phosphorus occurs before the young plant has reached a quarter of its life cycle. Stagnation of growth and the first characteristic of a lack of phosphorus.

A phosphorus deficiency in a fast-growing plant results in poor development, purplish and black, necrotic petioles and deformation of the leaves which roll up.

Deformation and leaf fall

Longitudinal growth and the development of lateral shoots are slowed.

At approximately 2 to 3 weeks, purplish, black and necrotic spots appear in the center of mature leaves, and the older ones become deformed.

This necrosis will reach the stem, the dead leaves wrinkle, an ocher/purplish color appears and the leaves fall.

Flowering will be complete but the flowers will remain very small.
