Soil Improvements

The Essential Elements of Fertilizers

Soil, the silent hero, is the foundation of agricultural success. Its complex composition of important elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other various micronutrients is crucial for fertility, general health and plant growth. In the face of global population growth and increasing drought stress, optimising plant nutrition is becoming more and more important. This is where the well-known principle in fertilizer production, Liebig’s Law of the Minimum, comes into play. It states that plant growth and health are not determined by the total amount of nutrients available in the soil but by the nutrient that is in shortest supply. Moreover, cultivable soil is increasingly disappearing due to building and paving. Soil improvement is essential for ensuring faster and healthier plant growth and meeting the needs of the growing population. This is where fertilizers, reffered to as ‘the new gold, come into play. Successfully addressing these challenges requires strong partnerships and cooperation within the industry and among all stakeholders seeking solutions. The seven main elements found in fertilizers include:

  • Nitrogen (N): Promotes leaf and stem growth, essential for chlorophyll production.

  • Phosphorus (P): Supports root development, energy transfer, and flowering.

  • Potassium (K): Enhances plant immunity, water regulation, and overall resilience.

  • Calcium (Ca): Strengthens plant cell walls and prevents diseases.

  • Magnesium (Mg): A crucial component of chlorophyll, aiding in photosynthesis.

  • Sulfur (S): Necessary for amino acids and protein synthesis in plants.
