Overview

Nutrients are the mineral elements required for the growth and development of crops and/or plants. Each one of these nutrients has an effect on the plant’s development and the deficiency of one nutrient cannot be compensated by the surplus of another one. The yield of a crop is directly linked to the most deficient nutrient in this crop.

Each plant has specific needs in nutrients and these needs vary according to the season. For example, some fruit trees need nitrogen all the season excepted during the flowering. Spraying all the nutrients all year long is not profitable: the optimization of fertilizer rate reduces up to 40% the production cost.

Primary Nutrients

  • Nitrogen (N)
  • Phosphorus (P205)
  • Potassium (K20)

The most important for growth and development of plant

Secondary Nutrients

  • Calcium (Ca0)
  • Magnesium (Mg0)
  • Sulfur (S03)

Essential for plants but in smaller quantities than primary nutrients

Micronutrients

  • Boron (B)
  • Chlorine (CI)
  • Copper (Cu)
  • Iron (Fe)
  • Manganese (Mn)
  • Molybdenum (M0)
  • Zinc (Zn)

The less required but at least once a session

Purpose of the primary nutrients:

One fertilizer can contain various nutrients depending on the raw materials used. The main fertilizers can be represented as follows:

Some raw material cannot be mixed together.
