Question

With fertilizers, solubility refers to _______.(A) the rate or ability of a fertilizer to dissolve in water.(B) how quickly or slowly a fertilizer when dissolved in the soil's aqueous fraction will be available for uptake by plant roots.(C) all of the above

Answer 1

Answer: Option C.

All of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fertilizer solubility is define as the total amount of fertilizer that can dissolve in water at a temperature. It also refer to how dissolved fertilizer in soil aqueous fraction will be available for root uptake. Fertilizer manufacturer normally provide fertilizer solubility data. If a fertilizer is dissolve in water and exceeds its solubility data, it will form clog or precipitate and it might not be more available for plant's root to take it up.

Answer 2

Answer: option C) All of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The solubility of fertilizers refers to

- the rate at which the fertilizers dissolve in soil water to ionize and release its constituent ions or molecules

- and the degree (quick or slow rate) to which these constituents ions/molecules are picked up by the root hairs into the plant vessels for absorption and usage.

Thus, all the options apply
