Fertilizers provide the nutrients which plants need. The principle ones are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Nitrogen is needed to make proteins, phosphorus is needed for nucleic acids, and potassium has many roles including controlling the opening and closing of stomata. Intensive gardening and agriculture often remove these nutrients from the soil.
