Every season, it is customary to feed the vegetable garden and garden with minerals, primarily nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
Kristalon - a series of chelated fertilizers for all types of horticultural crops
It is not always convenient to add different drugs separately or mix them with each other, carefully calculating the dosage. The big advantage of Fertik Crystalon fertilizer is its balanced composition. Both universal and narrowly targeted varieties of feeding contain all the substances necessary for plant health.

Pros and cons of the drug Kristalon
Fertilizing helps to reduce the time and effort spent on gardening. It has other advantages as well:
- All dressings in the series are chelated - the minerals in them are enclosed in an organic shell. This ensures the maximum assimilation of nutrients by plants.
- The trace elements present in the composition dissolve slowly and remain in the soil for a long time, for 2-3 seasons.
- The consumption of the drug is several times lower than when using other mineral and organic mixtures.
- Fertilizer improves plant immunity and provides protection against most fungal diseases.
- With the regular use of Kristalona, the yield of crops increases, and the palatability of the fruit increases.
- The drug is environmentally friendly, it does not harm either the soil or the plants themselves, and does not lead to the accumulation of negative compounds.
Along with the merits, Kristalon also has disadvantages. These include:
- short shelf life of the finished solution - chelated fertilizers lose their beneficial properties in just a couple of hours, so you need to use them immediately;
- unsuitable for use at low temperatures - it is possible to water and spray the plantings with the drug only during the warm season.
Despite the disadvantages, the fertilizer has much more advantages.
