DDCrop Brassica

DAP + 10% BORON (1% B)

$1,277.50/t - Ex-Store

DDCROP Brassica contains 90% DAP and 10% Hydroboracite (1% B). DDCROP Brassica is a suitable starter fertiliser for Brassica and other Bulb crops. Brassicas and other bulb crops require Boron to build strong cell walls and avoid Brown Heart Disease. Hydroboracite is a slower releasing Boron source giving more prolonged results.

Why Use DDCROP BRASSICA?

DAP

Nutrient Supply: DAP is a concentrated source of nitrogen and phosphorus, two essential nutrients for plant growth. It supports root development and overall plant vigor.
Promotes Early Growth: The high phosphorus content encourages strong root systems and helps seedlings establish quickly.
Improved Flowering and Fruiting: Adequate phosphorus levels are crucial for flowering and fruit development, leading to better yields.
Versatile Application: DAP can be used in various soils and crops, making it a flexible choice for farmers.
Cost-Effective: It’s often a cost-effective fertilizer option, providing essential nutrients in a single product.

Boron

Essential Micronutrient: Boron is crucial for plant growth and development, playing a vital role in processes like cell wall formation and the integrity of cell membranes.
Pollination and Seed Development: It enhances flower development and is critical for successful pollination and seed formation, ultimately affecting yield.
Nutrient Transport: Boron aids in the movement of other nutrients within the plant, helping to improve overall nutrient uptake.
Disease Resistance: Adequate boron levels can help strengthen plants, making them more resilient to certain diseases and environmental stresses.
Quality Improvement: Boron contributes to the quality of crops, particularly in fruits and vegetables, enhancing their size, color, and taste.
Soil Health: Boron helps maintain soil structure and fertility, promoting healthy microbial activity.

Product FAQs

When to Use

Nitrogen's Role in Plants

Nitrogen is always the nutrient in highest demand by plants, due to the greater content of nitrogen present on a dry weight basis in comparison to any other nutrient.
Nitrogen is a primary component of amino acids which are the building blocks of proteins. Thus, by adding nitrogen to soil the protein content in plants is increased.
Nitrogen is part of the chlorophyll molecule, and a part of numerous enzymes and coenzymes. Chlorophyll is responsible for photosynthesis, where sunlight is absorbed and stored in the plant as sugars and proteins.
Therefore, nitrogen is an integral part of photosynthesis.
Signs of nitrogen deficiency – reduced plant growth, yellowing of the leaf, early crop maturing.

Phosphorus's Role in Plants

The most important role of phosphorus is the storage and transfer of energy that is generated through photosynthesis along with the metabolism of carbohydrates.
Phosphorus is an essential compound of Adenosine Triphosphate (ADP), the energising component driving plant development.
Phosphorus deficiency has a huge impact on plant growth and reproduction, reducing the plant processes noted below.
Processes aided by phosphorus:
- Large root growth
- Early formation of plant shoots
- Improved stalk and stem strength in crops
- Improved fruit, vegetable, and grain quality
- Seed formation
- Resistance to moisture and colder temperatures
