Feeding hungry with crop with Peters Excel
Woodlark Nurseries, at Hersham in Surrey, are experienced seasonal plant growers producing a stunning array of quality pot plants, bedding, primroses, pansy/viola, perennials and potted bulbs
Crops: Thriving nursery produces over 1.5 million seasonal plants in 9cm, 10cm and 1-2litre pots, plus 40,000 seasonal planted hanging pots and 50,000 Poinsettias.
Production challenge: Solanum – an established pre-Christmas crop. A hungry crop with a high calcium demand, plants were often pale and losses were too high.
AngelaWeb: Having taken water samples, AngelaWeb precision nutrition software programme recommended lowering base fertilizer rate, upgrading to Osmocote Exact Hi.End 5-6month and supplementary feeding with two Peters soft water products with high calcium.
Peters recommendations:
Peters Excel Hard Water Grow Special 18-10-18 and
Peters Excel Cal Mag Finisher 13-5-20.
