Balanced fertilization
What is Balanced Fertilization? Crops need many essential nutrients for optimum growth, yield and quality.
Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sulphur and zinc are some of the essential plant nutrients. Crops need N, P and K in large amounts, hence these are applied through fertilizers. Application of plant nutrients in optimum ratio and adequate amounts is called “Balanced Fertilization” and is outlined in this publication.
