The Nuances of Nutrition

摘要

THERE ARE SOME persistent misunderstandings when it comes to plant nutrition that hinder the development of maximizing the utility of this most central agri-input. It is very important to understand what nutrition actually accomplishes. But it is equally important to understand what nutrition is not doing.Fertilizers cannot, in and of themselves, achieve anything in the crop.Every process and structure that is generated by the crop is due to the amazing mechanics, structure, and program code (DNA) within each plant. Nothing else can achieve growth, fruiting, and yield.However, these mechanics are in demand of resources to fulfill their functions. And that is where nutrients enter the picture.
