Question

We add fertilisers and manures into the soil for better growth of the plant. How do these minerals enter into the plants? Identify the process involved

Answer 1

Answer =>>>>>>

Fertilisers work by providing essential nutrients to developing flowers, trees and veg, as a kind of multi-vitamin or meal replacement for the plant world. Many fertilisers also improve the way the soil works by helping it to retain water better and allowing air to flow freely, which is good for roots.

The main ingredients in most popular fertilisers are N, P and K the basic elements required in plant growth, Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium (which has the chemical symbol K).

The Nitrogen element works by increasing the plant’s capacity to produce new stems, flowers or fruit. It also increases the speed at which it will grow and improves the quality and appearance of the foliage. You will probably have seen its effects in dramatic before and after photos comparing the use of plant additives to not.

Phosphorus helps the plants produce all of that nice organic stuff like oils and starch which is great for forming large, strong root systems. Phosphorus also helps the plant to develop Chlorophyll, which allows it to turn solar energy into chemical energy (photosynthesis). Combined with Potassium, Phosphorus helps produce healthy flowers and fruits in abundance.

Lastly, Potassium helps to build protein, fight off diseases and, just like Phosphorus, is essential in the process of photosynthesis.

All of the above are required to work together to produce a good healthy plant, if just one of these valuable nutrients are missing or lacking your plant will struggle to produce fruits or flowers of the highest quality.
