No growth without nitrogen

Nitrogen is a component of many important organic compounds in plants. It affects the metabolic process and growth of plants in many ways. For example, proteins, nucleic acids, chlorophyll, enzymes, vitamins, alkaloids and hormones all contain nitrogen. Among them, protein is the basic substance in the composition of plant cell protoplasts and the basis of plant life activities.

It can be said that plants without nitrogen have no life phenomenon!

Nitrogen is a component of chlorophyll and a component of nucleic acids. Various biological enzymes in plants also contain nitrogen. Nitrogen is a component of the vitamin and energy system in plants, and it has a significant effect on plant growth and development. When nitrogen is sufficient, plants can synthesize more proteins and promote cell division and growth. Therefore, the plant leaf area grows rapidly, and more leaf area can be used for photosynthesis.

The main role of nitrogen fertilizer is to supply the growth of leaves and promote the stout growth of branches, stalks and stems. Nitrogen deficiency in plants is usually characterized by slow growth, short plants, thin and small leaves, and lack of green and yellow leaves.

Nitrogen fertilizers are mainly urea, ammonia, ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, and ammonium nitrate.

Phosphorus-free flowers

Phosphorus is a constituent element of many important compounds in plants. Nucleic acids, nucleoproteins, phospholipids, phytochemicals, and high-energy phosphate compounds all contain phosphorus. Phosphorus is actively involved in various metabolisms in the body. Phosphorus can also improve plant stress resistance and adaptability to the external environment: to improve the plant's drought resistance, cold resistance, resistance to disease and insects lodging resistance, and adaptability. Phosphorus also exists in various dehydrogenases, flavinases, aminotransferases and other enzymes. They are important catalysts in many metabolic processes in crops and are conducive to the smooth progress of various metabolic functions. Phosphorus is a constituent element of important compounds in plants, the most important main component of nuclear proteins that make up the nucleus and protoplasts, and is a substance necessary for normal cell division, energy metabolism, and inheritance. It plays an extremely important role in the life process of plant individual development, growth, reproduction, genetics and mutation. Phosphorus is a key element that determines flower bud differentiation and pollen development, and is an essential element for reproductive and vegetative growth. When crops are deficient in phosphorus, they show slow growth, reduced yield, reduced flower bud differentiation, fewer flower buds, and more "false flowers", which severely affect the number and yield of the fruits produced.

Phosphorus actively participates in various metabolisms in the body: participating in carbohydrate metabolism, promoting nitrogen metabolism, and is closely related to fat metabolism;

Phosphate fertilizers mainly include: diammonium phosphate, diammonium hydrogen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and calcium superphosphate.

No color without potassium

Potassium is the main nutrient element of plants, and it is also one of the three factors that often affect crop yields due to insufficient supply in the soil. The potassium content of crops is similar to that of nitrogen and higher than that of phosphorus. And in many high-yield crops, the potassium content exceeds the nitrogen content. Unlike nitrogen and phosphorus, potassium is not a component of organic compounds in plants. The main function of potassium is to participate in plant metabolism, such as promoting photosynthesis and photosynthesis product transfer, regulating ion and water balance, promoting protein metabolism, enhancing plant resistance, regulating plant enzymes and stomata, and promoting protein synthesis and transportation. Potassium makes the photosynthetic protein stored and transported to fruits and seeds, and participates in the transport of photosynthetic products. The potassium-deficient fruit is not full, the fruit is deformed, the hardness is small, the weight is light, the color is poor, and there is no brightness. Potassium contributes to crop stress resistance: One of the important physiological effects of potassium is to enhance the regulating effect of cells on environmental conditions. Potassium can enhance the tolerance of plants to various adverse conditions, such as drought, low temperature, salt content, pest and disease hazards, and lodging. The most common symptoms of potassium deficiency in plants are burns along the leaf edges, starting with the old leaves in the lower part and gradually expanding to the upper leaves. Potassium-deficient plants grow slowly with poor root system development. The stems are fragile and often lodging. Seeds and fruits are small and dry wrinkled. Plants have low resistance to disease.

Potassium fertilizers mainly include: potassium sulfate, potassium chloride, potassium nitrate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, plant ash, potassium feldspar, etc.
