    Nitrogen is the key macro-nutrient that will always need re-supplementation in the soil. Plants actively deplete this nutrient during the growing season as they produce chlorophyll and ...

  3. Plant nutrients in soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrients_in_soil

    Nitrogen is the most critical element obtained by plants from the soil, to the exception of moist tropical forests where phosphorus is the limiting soil nutrient, [36] and nitrogen deficiency often limits plant growth. [37] Plants can use nitrogen as either the ammonium cation (NH 4 +) or the anion nitrate (NO 3 −).

  4. Plant nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrition

    Plant nutrition. Plant nutrition is the study of the chemical elements and compounds necessary for plant growth and reproduction, plant metabolism and their external supply. In its absence the plant is unable to complete a normal life cycle, or that the element is part of some essential plant constituent or metabolite.

  5. Fertilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer

    Although nitrogen makes up most of the atmosphere, it is in a form that is unavailable to plants. Nitrogen is the most important fertilizer since nitrogen is present in proteins (amide bond between amino-acids), DNA (puric and pyrimidic bases) and other components (e.g., tetrapyrrolic heme in chlorophyll). To be nutritious to plants, nitrogen ...

  6. Nitrogen generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_generator

    Analytical chemistry: Nitrogen generators are required for various forms of analytical chemistry such as liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry and gas chromatography where a stable and continuous supply of nitrogen is necessary. Aircraft & motor vehicle tires: Although air is 78% nitrogen, most aircraft tires are filled with pure nitrogen.

  7. Nitrogen deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_deficiency

    Nitrogen deficiency. Nitrogen deficiency is a deficiency of nitrogen in plants. This can occur when organic matter with high carbon content, such as sawdust, is added to soil. [ 1] Soil organisms use any nitrogen available to break down carbon sources, making nitrogen unavailable to plants. [ 1] This is known as "robbing" the soil of nitrogen.

  8. Biofertilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofertilizer

    A biofertilizer is a substance which contains living micro-organisms which, when applied to seeds, plant surfaces, or soil, colonize the rhizosphere or the interior of the plant and promotes growth by increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant. [ 1] Biofertilizers add nutrients through the natural processes of ...

  9. Saprotrophic nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saprotrophic_nutrition

    Saprotrophic nutrition / sæprəˈtrɒfɪk, - proʊ -/ [ 1] or lysotrophic nutrition[ 2][ 3] is a process of chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion involved in the processing of decayed (dead or waste) organic matter. It occurs in saprotrophs, and is most often associated with fungi (for example Mucor) and with soil bacteria.
