What chemical needed for plant growth will be in short supply if the plant gets insufficient nitrates?
if plants don't get nitrates then their leaves will go yellow and have a stunted growth also the plant will wither and sometimes even die.
What is in cow manure that encourages plant growth?
Moisture, nitrates, phosphorous, potassium, calcium, etc. that are incorporated into the soil that encourages plant growth.
What happens to water systems when nitrates and phosphates increase?
Plant and algae growth increases
What chemical from detergents can speed up algae and plant growth in natural waters?
Nitrates and Phosphates. :)
What minerals are essential for plant growth?
Three are very important: phosphates, nitrates and potassium chloride.
Why nitrogenous compounds are used in fertilizer?
Basically nitrogen is nitrate and nitrates are a Mineral used in plant growth
What is the difference between fertilisation and polination?
Fertilisation is the process of providing nitrates to promote growth in plants. Polination is the fertalisation of a plant to cause the plant to procreate.
What substances help plant growth?
Growth regulators help in plant growth. Examples are auxin, gibberellins, cytokinens etc.
Can nitrogen be eaten?
The nitrates fertilize plant growth where the nitrogenbecomes bound in amino acids, DNA and proteins. It can then be eaten by animals
Does nitrates inhibit the growth of algae?
Under most circumstances nitrates encourage the growth of algae. Strangely, in some heavily planted tanks with high CO2 levels, higher nitrates seem to inhibit the growth of algae.
What happens if a plant is lacking nitrates?
Nitrates are needed for protein's, so it results in the plant not having the proteins it needs. Also it will have yellow older leaves and a stunted growth. :) And just if you wanted to know: nitrates stimulate root development and are required for protein production. Chlorophyll, needed for photosynthesis, is a protein and without the nitrogen from the nitrates it cannot be made <---this is why the leaves are small and yellow in colour! :) Hope I helped :)
Does caffein help plant growth?
no
