how does fertilizer affect the quality of crops?
The role of fertilizers in food production is usually underestimated. Fertilizers are food for plants.
Fertilizers replace the nutrients that crops remove from the soil. Without the addition of fertilizers, crop yields and agricultural productivity would be significantly reduced. That’s why mineral fertilizers are used to supplement the soil’s nutrient stocks with minerals that can be quickly absorbed and used by crops.
Put simply – we use fertilizer to:
- Provide nutrients not available in the soil.
- Replace nutrients removed at harvest.
- Balance nutrients for better. producequality and higher yield.
