Plant nutrition is the study of chemical elements and compounds that are essential for plant growth, plant metabolism, and their external nutrition.
Have you decided to plant your own garden? Would you like to grow your own organic products? Or do you see your table decorated with flowers in your inner garden? Here are some facts about plant nutrients that every gardener, farmer and gardener should know.
Plants need 17 essential elements for normal growth. Carbon and oxygen are absorbed from the air, while other nutrients must be obtained from the soil or growing medium. These essential plant nutrients are essential for growth and survival. There are 13 mineral nutrients that come from the soil and are absorbed into the roots of the plant. These mineral nutrients are divided into two groups: macronutrients and micronutrients.
Plants use large amounts of macronutrients to grow. These macronutrients include nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium and sulfur. The soil does not always have enough of these nutrients for the plant to grow and be healthy. For those who know how to garden, fertilizers and nutrients are added to the water or growing medium so that the plant receives these nutrients. Gardeners and farmers also use nutrients to supplement plant growth.
Macronutrients can also be divided into two groups. The main nutrients are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Secondary nutrients are calcium, magnesium and sulphur. Each of these elements is very important for healthy plant growth.
Only very small amounts of micronutrients are needed. Boron, copper, iron, chloride, manganese, molybdenum and zinc are such elements. These nutrients may not be needed in large quantities, but they play an important role in promoting plant growth and survival.
Now that you know the basic science behind (or below) plant growth, another important element in plant nutrition is soil. The pH and structure of the soil must be correct. However, the soil is not needed to grow the plants. The soil is an excellent water channel, allows drainage and is home to bacteria and other living organisms. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants that does not require soil but uses a nutrient solution to suspend the plant. This method allows the necessary nutrients to be delivered directly to the plant. With the help of growing tents and other equipment, hydroponics can be installed indoors or outdoors.
Light is the second most important ingredient in plant development. If you have an aquaculture garden, it will give the plants enough artificial light. Outdoor gardeners get the sun to illuminate. Unlike growing tents, you need to choose the optimal location in your garden to grow your garden because buildings or trees can block light.
While this information can be dry and technical, it is important for gardeners who may be starting out for the first time. Proper nutrition is just as important for healthy plant growth as it is for humans. Lighting, nutrition, the location of your garden and what you plan to grow – this must be taken into account when setting up your garden.
If you want to be completely organic, you have many options as a farmer or gardener. If you use the hydroponic method and plan to grow in a tent, there are many different nutrients and supplements to choose from. As fertilizer, you can use organic fish and seaweed-type fertilizers as well as seaweed stimulants. There are ways to stimulate the absorption of nutrients from the roots using certain fungal and bacterial products.
If you are an outdoor gardener and are concerned about runoff from streams and other environmental toxins, you would also be interested in using organic fertilizers to grow your plants and crops. Instead of synthesized chemicals, you can use manure, manure or carpet molds. There are so many to choose from.
As a gardener, there are many new options to choose from as a way to grow your own produce, flowers and garden.
