Corn<\/strong> is a rather demanding crop for nutrition. It gives a large yield only where the soil is rich in nitrogen<\/strong> and other elements. Foliar nutrition of corn is important throughout the growing season.<\/p>\n For the intensive growth and development of corn throughout the entire growing season, an optimal amount of macro- and microelements<\/strong> in an easily accessible form is necessary, and for their effective consumption – certain soil and climatic conditions: soil structure, temperature, humidity and content of mobile nutrients, the pH<\/strong> of the soil environment, air temperature and humidity, intensity of solar radiation, etc.<\/p>\n During the growing season<\/strong>, corn plants use nutrients unevenly. The assimilation of nitrogen<\/strong> lasts until waxy ripeness, and the maximum need for it is from the ejection of panicles to flowering. Phosphorus<\/strong> is absorbed almost until the grain is fully ripe. Plants use potassium<\/strong> most intensively in the first half of the growing season and during the formation and formation of grain.<\/p>\n The soil, even at a high level of fertility, is unable to provide such an amount of nutrients for a number of reasons. In particular, because of acidity, because nitrogen<\/strong> is assimilated in a very wide pH range – from 4 to 9, and phosphorus<\/strong> – only in neutral or close to neutral environment (pH from 6.6 to 7.5)<\/strong>; the amount of moisture, since the roots are fed by the appropriate solutions; due to aeration, because the assimilation of macro- and microelements<\/strong> depends on the provision of oxygen to the soil, etc.<\/p>\n In conditions of unstable moisture, root feeding will not have an effect due to the rapid drying of the top layer of the soil, so it is better to use foliar feeding.<\/p>\n Wonder offers to consider a fertilizer for foliar nutrition which contains an increased amount of the necessary nitrogen in its composition:<\/p>\n Microelements are the basis of plant life<\/strong><\/p>\n All processes of synthesis and transformation of substances in plant cells occur with the help of enzymes which include trace elements. They play a major role in the processes of synthesis of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and are part of vitamins, hormones and other biologically active substances.<\/p>\n Among trace elements, corn most of all needs Wonder Leaf Mono Zn 8<\/a> (Zn-8% chelate)<\/strong> which is part of many enzymes, participates in the formation of chlorophyll, promotes the synthesis of vitamins. This element plays an important role in oxidation-reduction processes, therefore zinc fertilization helps to enhance the growth of corn plants. Signs of zinc deficiency in plants are the development of interveinal chlorosis, retardation of plant growth, disruption of the grain ripening process.<\/p>\n Wonder Leaf Pink<\/a> (B-20%)<\/strong> is one of the most important trace elements for the formation of corn yield. It affects the carbohydrate and protein exchange in plants, the formation of phytohormones-auxins. Also, this element is a cell generator, activates cell division and promotes the intensive development of young tissues, participates in the synthesis of DNA<\/strong> and RNA<\/strong> nucleic acids, the synthesis of chlorophyll and the assimilation of carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n Boron deficiency<\/strong> in corn disrupt the transport of carbohydrates to other organs of the plant, the process of photosynthesis, the development of the root system, inhibits the development of the growth point (meristematic cells).<\/p>\n Wonder Leaf Mono Cu 6<\/a> (Cu-6% chelate)<\/strong> is part of enzymes and participates in redox reactions, about 50% of it is contained in chloroplasts.<\/p>\n Copper deficiency disrupts the lignification of cell walls, reduces the intensity of respiration and photosynthesis. Signs of copper starvation in corn plants are manifested in the whitening and drying of leaf plates.<\/p>\n Wonder Leaf Mono Fe 10<\/a> (Fe 8.8% chelate)<\/strong> is involved in the functioning of the main elements of the electron transport chains of respiration and photosynthesis, the reduction of molecular nitrogen and nitrates to ammonia, catalyzes the initial stages of chlorophyll synthesis. Lack of iron leads to interveinal chlorosis of corn, yellowing of leaf plates, formation of small leaves, reduction of sugar content.<\/p>\n\n
