Potassium is an essential plant nutrient and is required in large amounts for proper growth and reproduction of plants. Potassium is considered second only to nitrogen, when it comes to nutrients needed by plants, and is commonly considered as the “quality nutrient.” Read more…

Nitrogen is the building block of amino acids, proteins and chlorophyll. Plants can absorb nitrogen either as Nitrate (NO3-) or Ammonium (NH4+), and therefore, the total uptake of nitrogen usually consists of a combination of these two forms. Read more…

Sulfur is an essential nutrient for plant growth. In recent years, sulfur deficiencies have become more frequent and the importance of sulfur in crop production is becoming more and more recognized. Read more…

Nitrogen is one of the most important essential elements for plants and is required in comparatively large amounts. Successful nitrogen management can optimize crop yields and increase profitability while minimizing nitrogen losses to the environment. Read more…

Magnesium is an essential plant nutrient. It has a wide range of key roles in many plant functions. One of the magnesium’s well-known roles is in the photosynthesis process, as it is a building block of the Chlorophyll, which makes leaves appear green. Read more…

Orchids, as any other plant, need different nutrients in different stages of its life. Finding the appropriate orchid fertilizer might seem like a challenge, but it is in fact, quite simple. This article will provide the information necessary to ensure that your orchid is well fed.

Calcium Fertilizers are chemical substances that either contain calcium in cationic form Ca+2 or produce it after it is transformed. Its main purpose is to enrich calcium nutrition in plants (since this mineral is a major component of the cell wall), promote cell division and growth, and directly affect fruit quality.

Nutrient availability for the plants depends on how acid or basic the soil solution is. Fertilizers known as acidic, can help plants grown in basic soils to absorb the nutrients that would only be available in acidic soil, Influence of soil solution’s pH in nutrient availability There are many factors involved in the soil’s acidity […]
