Unlike humans and animals, plants do not have the capacity to move and look for food that is necessary for its survival.
Thus, it is a must that proper and right amount of nutrients will be provided. These nutrients are not only limited to macronutrients but also micro-nutrients and growth regulators to ensure healthy and productive crops.
Fertilizers should be applied prudently but in proper moderation:
- Prudent fertilizer application is essential to get an evenly maturing crop with full grain size
- Excessive application – stimulate late tiller production
- Insufficient application – reduced grain size and poor vigor
Macro-nutrients: Nutrient needed in large amounts
- Nitrogen (N)
- Phosphorus (P)
- Potassium (K)
Micro-Nutrients: Nutrients needed in small amounts
- Zinc (Zn)
- Boron (B)
- Iron (Fe)
**Soil should be with standing water every time fertilizer is applied
