depends on the plant and your objectives With nitrogen, less is more. Too much nitrogen can burn plants and grasses and garden vegetables. Too much nitrogen can cause the plant to produce less pollen or not to pollinate at all. It makes the blooms on your tomato plants bend over and fall off, producing less or no tomatoes. If you put a lot on a plant it will grow fast and then come to a complete stop. I use the analogy of giving a five pound bag to a child. They are full of energy till the sugar runs out and they curl up in a ball and go to sleep. The same thing happens with plants. They grow fast and spindley. Then they stop producing alltogether. I feed my plants on a take what you need basis. I use a low level fertilizer like composted cow manure ( .5, .5, .5) and put this around the base of the plant 1-2 inches thick about 16 inches in diameter. I cover this with mulch and everytime you water the plant, you feed it in small doses and cannot burn it. First, I would suggest you get your soil analyzed and see if you are low or high in nitrogen. If too low, try the composted manure. If too high, add calcium in the form of lime, bone meal or other calcium additives.

Where does the nitrogen from the atmosphere go before enters a plant?
The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.
Where does the nitrogen from atmosphere go before it enters a plant?
The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.
The major plant nutrient most likely to be a limiting factor is?
Nitrogen is the major plant nutrient most likely to be a limiting factor, as it is essential for plant growth and development. Inadequate nitrogen levels can result in stunted growth, reduced yield, and poor overall plant health. Agricultural practices often involve the addition of nitrogen fertilizers to ensure optimal plant nutrition and growth.
What is symbiotic nitrogen fixation?
Nitrogen fixation occurs in leguminous plant that have nitrogen fixing bacteria in the root nodule. The plants utilize the nitrogen from the nitrogen fixing bacteria. The bacteria utilize plant sugars formed via photosynthesis.
Describe the three main plant nutrients in fertile soil?
The three main plant nutrients in fertile soil are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen is essential for leaf and stem growth, phosphorus is important for root development and flowering, while potassium helps with overall plant health and disease resistance. Maintaining a proper balance of these nutrients is crucial for healthy plant growth.
Why is nitrogen important to plant and animals?
because the nitrogen helps the plant grow
Why do people put nitrogen in plant fertilizer?
People put nitrogen in fertilizers because nitrogen in the form of ammonium nitrogen is essential for a plant's growth.
Which part of the plant takes in nitrogen?
roots
Where does nitrogen from atmosphere go before it enters a plant?
The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.
Is the clove plant a nitrogen fixer?
No, the clove plant is not a nitrogen fixer. Nitrogen-fixing plants have specialized root nodules containing bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form usable by the plant. Clove plants do not have this ability.
How does a plant that lacks nitrogen look?
Deficiency of nitrogen gives pale yellow color to the plant
What element is supplied to a leguminous plant in the nodules found on its roots?
Nitrogen is supplied to the leguminous plant in the nodules found on its roots. This nitrogen-fixing process is carried out by bacteria that form a symbiotic relationship with the plant, converting nitrogen from the air into a form that the plant can use for growth.
'how can nitrogen in air be converted into plant nitrogen compounds'?
nitroegats
What is the main function of nitrogen for plant growth?
What is the function of nitrogen
What does it meant that nitrogen burns a plant?
Nitrogen plant burns are caused when to much fertilizer (or fertilizer with a high concentration of Nitrogen) is added to a plant. If the concentration of Nitrogen (or Nitrogen compounds such as ammonia) is to high it causes the soil to become highly acidic in the area where it was applied, the high acidity damages (or kills) the roots of the plant retarding or preventing the uptake of water or nutrients by the plant.
Low availability of which element could be a limiting factor in a plant community?
Nitrogen is a common limiting factor in plant communities, as it is an essential element for plant growth and development. Low nitrogen availability can restrict plant growth and productivity, leading to decreased plant diversity and competition for nitrogen resources among different plant species.
What if a plant has not have enough nitrogen?
nitrogen helps to make protein, which is important for growth. if a plant won't get nitrogen, it's growth will be slow and it will have small pale leaves :)
