Plant Nutrition
Also known as: plant nutrition
Plant nutrition encompasses all processes related to the uptake, transport, and utilization of nutrients. It depends not only on fertilization but also on the condition of the root system, soil pH, temperature, and water availability. Proper nutrition allows a plant to reach its full growth and yield potential. Therefore, when deficiency symptoms appear, one should also check the roots, soil moisture, and soil pH, rather than simply increasing the fertilizer dose.
