The Role of Phosphorous Fertilizer
Fertilizers and micro-nutrients play a big role in the growth and health of your plant, as well as the development and growth of fruit. Each element aids the plant in some aspect. In the plant world, the major role of phosphorous, is during the flowering and fruit set stage. It promotes flowers in all plants. Pumpkins are no exception. After your pumpkin vines have grown several feet in length, it's time to add fertilizer high in phosphorous. Even if your plant has begun to produce flowers, you should still apply a high phosphorous fertilizer. Your plant swill respond, by producing more flowers, increasing the likelihood of pollination. Important tip: Too much nitrogen in the soil can delay the onset of flowers and fruit set.
