How can fertilizers improve crop yield?

Fertilizers contain many different nutrients that aid in plant growth, and these nutrients are what plants absorb, through osmosis, to increase their speed of growth and quality. When there usually isn't a sufficient amount of nutrients, fertilizers are added to make up for this lack of necessity. The amount and quality of plant growth is called the "crop yield".

What is an indicator blank?

During an experiment for chemistry, if an indicator will not work due to the lack of a reactant, the reactant can be added.

The volume required in the blank titration must then be subtracted from the other results to obtain quality results. This is an indicator blank and how it is used.
