In autumn, it is important not only to apply fertilizer according to all the rules, but also to choose the right nutrients.

The condition of the currant and its fruiting next year will depend on how correct your choice is.

Therefore, it is worth choosing the most essential nutrients.

What are the main options to consider?

Any complex fertilizers

The packaging of such compositions usually has a note that they are intended for application in the fall. They are easy to use: just rely entirely on the manufacturer's recommendations.

Potassium

Here the summer resident has a large selection of preparations. You can add 30 grams of potassium magnesium per square meter of plantings. If you choose potassium salt as the main source of the substance, then the application rates will remain the same.

If the choice falls on potassium sulfate, then 15 grams for the same area will be quite sufficient.

Phosphorus

This component is also one of the most important. The easiest way to apply is double superphosphate: 15 grams of fertilizer will be quite enough per square meter.

If you use regular superphosphate, the amount of fertilizer is doubled.
