Paprika fertilization recommendations

Intensive paprika production requires an adequate supply of plants with key macro and microelements in all stages of growth and development

Paprika is an annual plant species from the Solanaceae family, for which organic and mineral fertilizers should be used due to the high nutrient requirements due to the long growing season and cultivation under irrigation conditions.

Paprika belongs to the group of plants with increased potassium requirements, so it has the highest requirements for potassium (K) during flowering, fruit formation and fruit development. Potassium (K) is one of the main factors that affect the size and good coloring of paprika, for this reason it is necessary to use NPK fertilizers with emphasized value of potassium.

Special attention should be paid to NPK fertilizers containing potassium (K) based on potassium sulfate (SOP) because paprika is sensitive to a higher content of chlorine (Cl) in the soil.

The production range of Elixir Zorka contains several high-quality formulations containing potassium (K) based on potassium sulfate (SOP) and can be perfectly adapted to intensive paprika production.

Which mineral fertilizer do we recommend for the paprika crop

The product NPK 6:12:24 + 6% S in terms of its ratio of nutrients represents a well-balanced formulation for achieving high and stable yields of all cultivated plants that have an increased need for potassium (K)

AmoSulfan belongs to the category of nitrogen fertilizers. It is extremely suitable for feeding all types of plants. The use of AmoSulfan significantly improves the availability and uptake of phosphorus on alkaline and neutral soils

NutriVeg NPK 10:10:20 +2% MgO +9% S +0.2% B +0.1% Zn is a complex, solid mineral fertilizer, the application of which provides complete nutrition to cultivated plants with all necessary macro and microelements during the production process cycle

The product NPK 12:11:18 + 3% MgO + 14% S + 0.01% B + 0.02% Zn + TE is a complex, solid mineral fertilizer of superior quality, which is primarily used for the production of highly profitable fruit and vegetable crops

The product NPK 12:12:17+ 2% Mg + 14% S + 0.02% B + 0.01% Zn provides balanced nutrition for a large number of plant species. Carefully selected secondary macro and microelements ensure high yields and exceptional product quality

NutriBOOST NP 10:45 + 5% S + 1% Zn is a new generation microgranulated fertilizer with a special additive that protects phosphorus (P) from blocking in the soil, preventing its reaction with other elements such as Ca, Al and Fe

Spring fertilization of paprika implies the use of nitrogen fertilizers, because nitrogen is the carrier of paprika yield

Proizvodi Elixir Group

Amosulfan 20% N + 24% S

AmoSulfan contains nitrogen in ammoniacal form.

This form of nitrogen binds more easily and is more difficult to wash out from the soil profile, which makes it available to plants for a longer period of time. Sulfur, as the main macroelement, directly affects the increase in the quality of cereal grains, because it participates in protein synthesis.
