Each product has a certain solubility, which is expressed in grams per litre. It indicates the <strong>maximum amount of fertiliser<\/strong> that can be dissolved in one litre of water. This value in turn depends on other variables, such as temperature. In general, as the temperature increases, so does the solubility, although sometimes nitrogen fertilisers react by lowering the temperature of the solution.<\/li><li><strong>PH<\/strong>. The optimum pH of the final solution is that which maximises the best absorption. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/measuring-ph-in-cannabis-plants\/\">cannabis plants the pH<\/a> ranges between 5.5 and 7.0, although it will depend on the type of crop and the stage. This is the right range for nutrient assimilation <strong>in order to improve the availability of nutrients<\/strong>. If this factor is not under control, there is a risk that fertilisers are not well-absorbed.<\/li><li><strong>Dosage<\/strong>. It will depend on the brand and type of product. Each one has a different composition, proportion and efficacy. For this reason, they usually come with cultivation tables <strong>showing the ideal doses<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>EC or electroconductivity<\/strong> is the ability of a liquid to carry electricity. In fact, it depends on the water\u2019s mineral content. In other words, it is a <strong>measure of the amount of minerals<\/strong> it contains.<\/li><li><strong>Compatibility<\/strong>. Certain phytosanitary products <strong>a<\/strong>re not able to <strong>be mixed with each other<\/strong>, as they are no longer assimilated by the crop and can also clog the watering system.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fertilisers_that_cannot_be_mixed_together\"><\/span>Fertilisers that cannot be mixed together<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the fundamental parameters related to compatibility is fertilisers\u2019 solubility, as the interaction between different composants can generate  nteraction between different compounds can <strong>generate insoluble compounds<\/strong> (precipitatations), as well as causing water stress and nutrient deficiency. Among the most common incompatible interactions are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Calcium fertilisers with sulphate fertilisers<\/strong>. When they are dissolved in the same tank, <strong>calcium and sulphates are released<\/strong> and then combine to form what is known as gypsum, with poor solubility.<\/li><li><strong>Phosphate fertilisers with magnesium<\/strong>. Magnesium can form magnesium phosphate precipitations.<\/li><li><strong>Calcium fertilisers with phosphate<\/strong>. Causes calcium phosphate precipitations.<\/li><li><strong>Ammonium sulphate with potassium chloride<\/strong> or potassium nitrate.<\/li><li><strong>Non-chelated micronutrients with phosphate fertilisers<\/strong> in some acidic media. Among the most common are iron and zinc phosphates. <strong>Micronutrients can also react with salts<\/strong> in the spraying water, forming poorly soluble compounds, so it is advisable to apply them in a chelated form if there are problems of poor water quality.<\/li><li><strong>Calcium has always been more difficult to absorb<\/strong>, because the plant is not able to mobilise it, causing problems and deficiencies. It is a compound that is compatible with few fertilisers. For this reason, it recommended to add chelating elements or cytokinins to facilitate absorption.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br>All incompatibilities are shown in this detailed table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Article350-Figure1Chart.png\" alt=\"table of fertilisers that cannot be mixed\" width=\"600\" height=\"453\" title=\"Table of fertilisers that cannot be mixed\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, it&#8217;s important to take into account that <strong>in case of using biofertilisers<\/strong>, such as mycorrhizae and trichodermas, it is not advisable to use mineral fertilisers, as these could kill these micro-organisms.
