Much like humans, plants need the right mix of nutrients to grow, develop, and thrive to their fullest. 🌱✨     There are 17 crucial #nutrients for plants, each playing a unique role in their growth and development.     The primary nutrients – nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) – are the cornerstone, followed by secondary nutrients like calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulphur (S), along with other micronutrients.     Much like assembling a puzzle, these nutrients must be obtained from the environment and various sources for optimal growth. 🧩     Adding nutrients lost during harvest back into the soil keeps it fertile so it can produce healthy food. That’s why balanced #fertilization is key: it allows to bridge the gap between what the soil provides and what plants need, ensuring adequate supply of each nutrient at each stage of their growth. 💡      In fact, did you know that the essential nutrients provided by mineral fertilizers contribute to feeding around 50% of the world population, boosting crop yields and ensuring a reliable food supply.
