Which fertilizers cannot be used as seed fertilizers? What are the reasons? We also ask knowledgeable readers to help explainA seed fertilizer is a fertilization method in which fertilizer is mixed with seeds at sowing time or applied near the seeds and provides nutrients during the crop seedling stage. But not all fertilizer varieties are suitable as seed fertilizers. Therefore, Zhongdiwang has compiled some fertilizers that cannot be used as seed fertilizers, listed in detail below for readers' reference.
1. Ammonium bicarbonateNot suitable as a seed fertilizer, because the ammonia gas produced when ammonium bicarbonate decomposes will affect seed germination, leading to uneven emergence.
2. Ammonium nitrateNot suitable as a seed fertilizer, because ammonium nitrate is highly hygroscopic, and humid air can liquefy it, and it may also stick to the seeds, affecting seed germination.
3. Ammonium chloride, potassium chlorideNeither is suitable as a seed fertilizer, because both fertilizers contain a large amount of chloride ions. When the local chloride ion concentration in the soil is too high, it inhibits seed germination, so they cannot be used as seed fertilizers either. If a seed fertilizer is urgently needed in production and there is no ideal fertilizer variety, the principles of separating the seeds from the fertilizer and strictly controlling the application rate must be followed.
Zhongdiwang has summarized some experience: any nitrogen fertilizer variety with strong volatility, strong hygroscopicity, or harmful components cannot or should not be used as a seed fertilizer, otherwise it will affect seed germination and seedling growth.
