Fertilisers are the food that plants require to keep healthy, much like humans need.
Fertilisers are a range of chemical or mineral products that release essential nutrients to support plant growth. There are two main types of fertilisers: chemical (inorganic) and mineral (organic).
Usually applied to the soil as liquids or solids, chemical fertilisers are carefully made to accomplish a certain goal, such as increasing soil fertility or encouraging plant growth.
Commonly used to enhance the general quality of soil, mineral or organic fertilisers are natural compounds made by plants and animals, such as seaweed or dung.
Fertilisers are essential for the proper growth of plants since they restore the soil’s nutrient shortages in elements like phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen.
The nutrients that different plants need at different phases of their growth cycle vary. Many different types of fertilisers are available, each with different nutrient amounts and rates of release; some supply quick nourishment, while others offer gradual, constant feeding. Always read the label and follow the fertilizer’s instructions for optimal results.
