NITROGEN is a primary macroelement which, directly or indirectly, affects every plant process. This element belongs to the group of yield elements because it significantly influences the yield level and its key role is reflected in the production of chlorophyll and protein synthesis, thereby greatly affecting the quality of the product itself.

In the soil, nitrogen has the form of organic and mineral compounds. Organic nitrogen is found in humus and its accessibility to plants is conditioned by the mineralization process.

Mineral nitrogen in the soil includes ammonia, nitrate and amide nitrogen, while plants most easily adopt nitrogen in ammonia and nitrate forms:

• Ammonia nitrogen – The most accessible form which young plants bring directly into dry matter.
• Nitrate nitrogen – Available to plants immediately with almost immediate effect.
• Amide nitrogen – Urea contains nitrogen in amide form which gradually transforms into nitrate and ammonia forms in the soil, which are then readily available to plants.

Elixir Zorka complex fertilizers contain nitrogen in ammonia and nitrate forms which ensures adequate nutrition of crops.

PHOSPHORUS belongs to the group of primary macroelements, it has a structural role as it is found in the composition of many organic compounds found in plants. Phosphorus is very important for plant fertilization as well as for good rooting and strengthening of the root system. Plants adopt phosphorus throughout their growth and development, most intensely at the beginning of vegetation. The quantity of easily accessible phosphorus is very important for plant nutrition (available or soluble phosphorus which is mainly phosphorus in the soil solution in the form of easily soluble salts).

Elixir Zorka complex mineral fertilizers contain highly water-soluble phosphorus, which guarantees a significant amount of available and easily accessible phosphorus for all soil types.

POTASSIUM belongs to macro regulatory elements and does not form part of plant organic compounds. There is more potassium in vegetative than in reproductive parts, which is the opposite of nitrogen and phosphorus. It affects the water regime of plants, activates enzymes, stimulates the growth of young tissue, stimulates the work of ferments, all of which contributes to plants’ greater resistance to disease and lodging.

Elixir Zorka complex fertilizers contain potassium (expressed as K2O) derived from potassium chloride or potassium sulfate, which is water-soluble and easily accessible to plants.

Sulfur belongs to a group of necessary macronutrients and constituent elements. This secondary element is an integral part of protein and affects its construction in plants while the further significance of this element is reflected on its impact on the proper development of plants, better nitrogen utilization, increased plant resistance to pathogenic organisms and resistance to stress conditions such as drought, high and low temperatures.

Elixir Zorka complex mineral fertilizers are enriched with secondary elements and thus provide complete nutrition to plant crops during all stages of development contributing to better product quality and an increase in yield.
