Soil testing for the right crop nutrition
Crop nutrition start with soil testing using methods suited to the soils of a particular region, which is the best measure of plant-available nutrients. Before planting, test the soil to determine its nutrients content and pH level. This helps identify what amendments are needed.
Nutrient Needs
Just like us humans, plants need and live on nutrition. Corp nutrition should be in various amounts for healthy growth. There are 17 essential nutrients that all plants live on, including carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, these plants get them from air and water.
The remaining 14 are absorbed from soil but may need to be supplemented with fertilizers or organic materials such as compost, which mean It is commonly prepared by decomposing plant and food waste, recycling organic materials, and manure. Nutrients are:
Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are needed in larger amounts than other nutrients; they are considered primary macronutrients.
Secondary macronutrients include sulfur, calcium, and magnesium.
Micronutrients such as iron and copper are necessary in much smaller amounts.
A Brief About These Nutrients
Macronutrient
Nitrogen is an important element for the growth and development of all plants, naturally present, and its level changes constantly in soil. Phosphorus is important to photosynthesis and the development of enzymes and proteins. It also plays a major role in cell division and the synthesis and transport of sugars and starches. Potassium is an important component of plant cells, also influences the uptake of water by the roots and plays a role in both respiration and photosynthesis. Magnesium is an essential part of chlorophyll and aids in the formation of sugars, oils and fats.
Calcium is a vital component of cell walls and is involved in the metabolism and formation of the cell nucleus, in addition to playing a huge role as a physical barrier to disease entry.
