No sensible gardener should ignore this beetroot fertilizer: the root crops turn out large and sweet.
An important factor for obtaining a high-quality beet crop is fertilization.
If you want the root vegetables to grow fleshy, large in size, have a rich color, and also delight with a sweet taste, add fertilizer to the beet beds.
This should be done as soon as the beets begin to grow and 3-4 leaves appear.
As a rule, the right moment comes within the first 3-4 weeks after sowing, although these terms are very arbitrary, since they depend on growing conditions.
During this period, it is worth providing the plant with nitrogen, and this can be done using urea.
To prepare a nutrient solution, fill a 10-liter bucket with water and dissolve 1 tablespoon of the preparation in it.
Fertilizer should be applied to damp soil, pouring the mixture not into the root zone, but into the spaces between the rows.
In addition to nitrogen, beets also need potassium and phosphorus - only with a sufficient amount of all the necessary elements can you expect to improve the taste of the vegetable.
