"Kemira" - a family before and after the "divorce"

Kemira fertilizer has gained great popularity, not only in our countries, but throughout the world. The secret of this "expansion" was that the Finnish manufacturer - the company Kemira - offered a whole family of nutrient mineral mixtures with a balanced set of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compounds and trace elements for various areas application in personal subsidiary farm. Touks were intended to be applied at certain times of the year and for specific crops. Most gardeners and gardeners appreciated these fertilizers, as they really helped increase yields. Many continue to promote "Kemira" even today.

But the secret lies in the fact that fertilizers have not been produced under this name for 5 years already - since 2011! And everything that was released after this period is most likely fakes or products of Russian manufacturers, “masquerading” as a brand that no longer exists. It is apparently not necessary to talk about the quality and technologies of Kemira here.

In Russia, the production of complex mineral fertilizers with microelements, which used high-quality imported components, was organized by a Finnish manufacturer in 1999.

Everything changed in 2008, when the large Norwegian concern Yara International ASA acquired 100% of the shares of the Finnish company, and three years later completely abandoned the previous brand. Now the entire line of fertilizers is produced under the new trademark "Fertika", although the formulation of the mixtures, the technology of their production has not changed. Moreover, their packaging completely repeats the concept of graphic designs of similar types previously produced under the name "Kemira-. In Russia, a reorganization also took place: since February 2011, the right to produce Kemira fertilizers in the country was transferred to CJSC Fertika, which continues to produce the traditional line of fertilizers under the new logo. Production is located in Noginsk, Moscow Region.

At the site to increase the fertility of the land, the fertilizer is evenly scattered in the spring over the surface of the soil, then it is dug up. The granules dissolve in the soil gradually, providing uninterrupted and balanced plant nutrition throughout the growing season,

You can do it more economically: when sowing seeds or planting seedlings, fertilizer is applied to rows or holes, and it must be mixed with the soil.
