There is ample carbon in the carbon dioxide in the air for plants to survive.
Nitrogen is an essential plant nutrient, especially for growth. Some plants require more nitrogen than others.
To increase soil fertility if the soil is deficient in phosphorus.
Look at the statement of contents. Artificial, commercial, conventional, synthetic fertilizers are heavy on the incorporation of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. That's why they're called N-P-K, which are the respective symbols of the three preceding elements. The fertlizer lists the proportion of elements in alphabetical order: N for nitrogen, P for phosphorus, and K for potassium. A common proportion is 10-10-10, which means 10% each of the three elements within the total mix.
There is no way to answer that question. It depends on the soil. The idea of a fertiliser is to add whatever is missing to the soil in each particular area. Farmers often use NPK (N=nitrogen P=phosphorus K=potassium) but often they have to add extra things like Iron and other metals. If you plant seed in iron rich soil this wouldn't help.
sorry jade but i have more detail!Agricultural manure not only ensures that plants grow well, but also ensures their nutritional composition. One of the most common types of agricultural fertilizer is nitrogen fertilizer, which comes from animal and plant byproducts. This type of fertilizer is most often spread on top of the soil in which plants are growing. Phosphorus fertilizers are another common type of fertilizer, and usually come in a fine powder. Farmers who grow potatoes and fruit trees often use potassium fertilizers to make sure that their produce has enough of this nutrient.Yer but i don't know much about this thing but i know about other thingsSHUT UP! JADE JUST CUZ I LIKE HELPING OTHER STUDENTS SO THEY HAVE LESS OF A HARSH TIME AND CAN GET A DECENT JOB IN THE FUTURE AND NOT HAVE TO WORK IN POUNDLAND!AND I DOUBT THAT YOU KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL! YOU BABOON!nice thanks
Plants get nitrogen and phosphorous from the soil. If not replenished by decomposing biomass, these nutrients must be replenished via fertilizer application to insure proper plant growth.Plants get their carbon from the air (CO2) so adding carbon to the soil wouldn't help plants much.
farmers often use fertilisers, the fertiliser contains the phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium the crops need and the fertiliser just replenishes the minerals in the soil so the crop has enough minerals
There are no three main chemical elements that plants need, there are many more. Every living thing MUST have at least carbon, oxygen, phosphorus, nitrogen, hydrogen and sulphur. A very common fertilizer used by farmers is NKP which has Nitrogen (N), Potassium (K) and phosphorus (P).
This maintains the soil fertility, so the farmer can continue to grow nutritious crops and healthy crops. Farmers turn to fertilizers because these substances contain plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. ... By testing their soil, farmers know which nutrients—and how much—to apply to the soil.
They can either a) spread a nitrogen based fertilizer, or b) rotate to a crop that replaces the nitrogen in the soil.
the urea is better because it has an affordable price for farmers, it has 48% nitrogen if I am not mistaken. also as fertilizer, has high solubility.
Iron for the farming equipment and Nitrogen for the fertilizer.
if not from the atmosphere , they must depend on a process called nitrogen fixation. They get it from the soil. That's why farmers add fertilizer to the soil to increase nitrogen content
Nitrogen enriched soil and chemicals are typically used as fertilizer to improve soil.

Nitrogen is an essential plant nutrient, especially for growth. Some plants require more nitrogen than others.
Why three things? You can add a nitrogen fertilizer, or better yet plant a nitrogen fixing cover crop, typically a legume.
