Abstract

Main nutrients for crops are Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium and Calcium. These among others must be made available continuously and in correct proportions by the soil. The individual effect of each of these nutrients is the following: Nitrogen promotes: • plant growth-speeds development both above and below ground, influencing the size, weight and colour of the plant yield, e.g. grain, tuber or fruit • the synthesis of amino acids, protein and lipids, thus contributing in large part to the nutritional value of vegetable foodstuffs • technical characteristics dependent on the protein content, e.g. the baking properties of wheat
