Nutritional balance in plants is one of the key factors that drive crops to reach their highest potential yield. It enables plants to withstand harsh environmental conditions and strengthens their resistance to fungal and insect diseases.
When a plant receives balanced nutrition containing all major and minor elements, it produces high-quality fruits, free from physiological deformities and small sizes.
Balanced nutrition not only increases productivity but also reduces agricultural costs, as it minimizes the need for excessive fertilization and prevents issues such as deformed or second-grade fruits resulting from nutrient imbalance. It also helps lower the costs of pest and disease control associated with poor nutrition.
To maintain proper nutritional balance, plants must be supported with the right fertilizers and biostimulants at every growth stage.
Below are some practical examples that demonstrate how to achieve this balance — using strawberry cultivation as a clear example of the importance of proper nutrition.
At this stage, the main goal is to build a strong vegetative and root system before winter.
This can be achieved using Migma Sol (19-19-19), a balanced fertilizer enriched with micronutrients, suitable for both soil and foliar application.
For even better results, it can be mixed with Plant Boost, a biostimulant containing Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed extract, which supports vigorous plant growth.
After establishing a strong vegetative structure, it’s time to use Migma Camago, rich in calcium, magnesium, and nitrogen.
This formulation promotes healthy, balanced leaves that efficiently perform photosynthesis and boost plant immunity.
It can also be mixed with Migma Combi Alpha, a blend of essential micronutrients that ensures balanced and healthy development.
Plant immunity plays a vital role at all stages.
Here comes the importance of Migma Protos, a high-quality phosphite fertilizer that strengthens plant cell walls and enhances resistance against fungal diseases in roots and leaves.
It also helps plants better withstand various environmental stresses.
Balanced plant nutrition is not only a way to boost productivity — it’s a smart investment that protects plant health while reducing excessive fertilization and disease control costs.
Every pound spent on proper nutrition saves multiple times its value by preventing diseases, weak growth, and poor-quality fruits, ensuring a high-quality, market-competitive yield.
