Plants need certain nutrients to grow, just like your body needs certain things to grow. Plants especially need nitrogen and phosphorous. A farmer can get her soil tested to see how much is already present in the soil, and if more is need she can purchase and apply extra nitrogen (or other nutrient) to the land. This way the crop she plants will be able to reach its full potential. If there is not enough of a certian nutrient, the plant will not be able to grow as well and it will not produce as much of the crop. Just like if you do not eat enough calories or other nutrients when you are young and growing, your growth could could be stunted.
