Examples of new phosphorus fertilizers

[Phosphorus] is a major component of the cell nucleus, protoplasm and other parts of Chinese orchids (Cymbidium). In Chinese orchids, phosphorus often exists in forms such as saccharin, nucleoprotein and phospholipids. The main function of phosphorus is as a major component of the cell nucleus; it facilitates cell division, converts starch into soluble carbohydrates, promotes root formation, promotes early maturity, aids seed setting, and prevents excessive vegetative growth, so phosphorus fertilizer is also called "fruit-setting fertilizer". When Chinese orchids lack phosphorus, cell division cannot proceed, the cell reproductive capacity slows, and the growth of the Chinese orchid stalls, resulting in delayed maturity, failure of new roots to form or grow, narrow leaf width, dark green color, purple-tinged old leaves, and reduced lateral bud differentiation. Phosphorus also helps the synthesis of carbohydrates and limits nitrogen assimilation; when phosphorus is excessive, the growth of Chinese orchids is restricted and flowering occurs earlier. Chinese orchidcultivationmedia are often inorganic media - silicate minerals - ascultivationmaterial; the inorganic phosphorus in the medium exists in bound form (adsorbed by clay colloids or iron and aluminum oxides, bound by calcium, iron and aluminum) and is thus fixed. It is very difficult for Chinese orchids to absorb phosphorus from the medium material, so phosphorus fertilizer is the element most commonly applied in Chinese orchid production; otherwise yield and quality will be affected. And Chinese orchidcultivationgrowers applying phosphorus fertilizer to Chinese orchid crops often find that the phosphorus fertilizer absorption and utilization rate is very low, and the phosphorus fertilizer is often fixed to become "ineffective phosphorus". Generally, of 100% phosphorus fertilizer applied, at most only 10-20% can be absorbed, and the remaining phosphorus fertilizer is all fixed and combined to form ineffective phosphorus. To improve the absorption and utilization rate of phosphorus fertilizer by Chinese orchids and help meet the growth needs of Chinese orchids, orchid enthusiasts in their routine cultivation management can apply "microbial bacteria" Lan Shijie Mandian Shiba mixed Chinese orchid special, so that the difficult-to-dissolve phosphorus fertilizer is dissolved by the microorganism "phosphate-solubilizing bacteria" to release phosphorus, supplying what the Chinese orchid needs for growth, promoting new root formation and root elongation, strengthening the plant vigor of the orchid, preventing aging, improving photosynthetic capacity, and promoting stem and leaf maturity. Based on the author's on-site observation and use of Lan Shijie "microbial bacteria" + "Lan Gen Wang" Xiduolan premium enzyme liquid, each diluted 800 times, activated and then poured into the medium, this enhances the dissolution of bound phosphorus in the medium, increases the Chinese orchid's absorption of phosphorus, and promotes mycorrhizal fungi to dissolve organic matter in the medium, secreting growth promoters such as IAA, GA and cytokinins, activating the vitality of the medium, and providing fully balanced nutrition through nutrient recycling for use during the growth of the Chinese orchid. After two weeks of treatment, investigation showed that the new plants had already grown new roots, and their growth rate was not restricted (generally when underground growth occurs, aboveground growth is restricted); instead, the growth rate showed a phenomenon of acceleration.
