In order to have a positive effect on the taste of beets, you must not forget to add fertilizers.

Otherwise, you won’t even have to remember how sweet the vegetable is.

Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and scientist-agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh reminds that the first feeding should take place around June.

By this time, the vegetable forms several true leaves.

What supplements are worth knowing about?

Sources of nitrogen

The first thing to do is to saturate the beets with quality nitrogen sources, which are necessary for their development. It is best to pay attention to mullein and bird droppings in the form of solutions.

Classic green fertilizer also works well.

Complexes

If you want to be sure that the beets have received all the necessary nutrients, then you should use any specialized complex fertilizer.

It always comes with instructions.

Ammonia

Many gardeners use this secret, as it is quite effective. In order for the beetroot to grow sweet, you just need to treat it with a solution of ammonia.

Take no more than two spoons of the preparation per bucket.

Urea

It is recommended to use urea for spraying. To do this, just take 30 grams of fertilizer per bucket of water.
