Fertilizers are mixtures of plant nutrients used to support the growth and development of plants. They provide essential macro and micronutrients to plants, helping them grow productively and healthily.
Types of Fertilizers:
- Organic Fertilizers:Derived from natural sources.
Aim to simulate the natural growth environment of plants. - Chemical (Synthetic) Fertilizers:Artificially produced.
Deliver nutrients to plants quickly and efficiently.
Benefits of Fertilizer Use:
- Enhances plant growth and yield.
- Improves soil fertility and quality.
- Helps plants become healthier and more resilient.
- Increases agricultural productivity and crop quantity.
- Promotes faster and better plant development.
However, excessive fertilizer use can degrade soil quality, harm water resources, and cause environmental problems. Therefore, it is crucial to use fertilizers correctly and in moderation.
