Fertilizer Technology
About Fertilizer Technology
Instead of just raising the number of nutrients in the soil, new fertilizer technology is concentrated on enhancing the effectiveness and utilization rate of fertilizer. Adjuvants, organic acids, and microbiological solutions are examples of additives that are used to increase efficacy.
The three essential plant nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are included in the majority of fertilizers that are often used in agriculture. Certain "micronutrients," including zinc and other metals, that are essential for plant development are also present in some fertilizers.
Why is Fertilizer Technology important?
By adding the proper balance of nutrients to the soil, fertilizers have the important duty of increasing yield and ensuring healthy products. "Without fertilizers, the soil would be exhausted, making it extremely challenging for plants to thrive. Both they and we are unable to thrive on water alone.
We have the ability to use fertilizer to make sure that crops are given the nutrients they require to produce nutrient-dense, abundant food for a growing world population.
