Definitions
- Soil nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur, as well as trace elements such as iron, zinc, copper, calcium, and magnesium, are useful for achieving fostering agriculture and growth of plants.
- fertilizers have been developed to help replace the depleted vital nutrients.
- Application of a fertilizer does not always provide the full amount of the nutrients in the fertilizer to the plant within a short period of time.
