Answer:
What is fertilizer?
Fertilizer is a natural or synthetic substance that is applied to the soil or the plants to improve growth and productivity. They provide nutrients to the plants.
The different types of fertilizers include:
Inorganic fertilizer- Nitrogen fertilizer, Phosphorus fertilizer
Organic fertilizers- Agricultural waste, livestock manure
It is very difficult to meet the demands of the increasing population with such fewer resources. Loss of soil fertility, pests, and lack of nutrients has resulted in a decrease in agricultural production. This has increased the importance of fertilizers in agriculture.
Fertilizers can be important to the plants in the following ways:
Fertilizers increase plants’ tolerance towards pests. This has reduced their reliance on insecticides and herbicides, thereby, producing healthier crops. Consequently, diseases have reduced, providing aesthetic value to the crops.
Fertilizers improve the water holding capacity of the plants and increase root depth.
The potassium content present in the fertilizers strengthens the straws and stalks of the plants.
The phosphorus present in the fertilizers helps in the faster development of roots and formation of seeds in the plants.
Nitrogen in the fertilizers enhances the growth of the plants which can be characterized by the green colour of the plants.
