Some fertilizers use a “quick release” formulation that allow for fast greening, but provide for no long term health. Too much nitrogen can cause stability issues, leaching nutrients and over-stimulating top growth. This is why many farmers and gardeners have their soil tested so they know which fertilizers to use that will add appropriate the nutrients to the soil based on which types of things they grow. There are not always enough of these nutrients in the soil for a plant to grow healthy. In addition, these elements can leach from soil naturally with the weather especially during rainy or hot seasons. These major nutrients are usually the first lacking from the soil first because plants use large amounts for their growth and survival. The primary nutrients are needed for plan growth are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). Photosynthesis means “making things with light”. These starches and sugars are the plant’s food. In a process called photosynthesis, plants use energy from the sun to change carbon dioxide (CO2 – carbon and oxygen) and water (H2O- hydrogen and oxygen) into starches and sugars. It also acts as a catalyst for the other minerals. It is needed for flower differentiation, speedy shoot growth, the health of flower buds and increases the quality of fruit set. Protoplasm is the translucent substance that is the living matter in cells. Nitrogen is also the primary building block for plant protoplasm. Because nitrogen can move around in the plant, older growth often yellows more than the new growth. Lack of nitrogen shows up as general yellowing (chlorosis) of the plant.
Nitrogen is part of the chlorophyll molecule, which gives plants their green color and is involved in creating food for the plant through photosynthesis. Nitrogen is actually considered the most important component for supporting plant growth. It is found in healthy soils, and give plants the energy to grow, and produce fruit or vegetables.
Nitrogen is a very important and needed for plant growth.
