DDCrop Brassica

DAP + 10% BORON (1% B)

$1,259.50/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
