The role of fertilizer in the farming industry can simply not be stressed enough. Whether it is commercial or subsistence farming, farmers are pressed to increase and/or maintain the fertility of their soil to enable sustained production over time. Fertilizer not only makes it possible to grow crops, but it also directly influences the quality of the crop, and thus the price the farmer can charge for their harvest.
The benefits of the proper use of fertilizer in farming is not only limited to the farmer. It is also a necessity when it comes to food security. With stretched resources at our disposal, it is vital that the production that does happen is sufficient to sustain the population.
Now, the truth is, there is no such thing as a “silver bullet” when it comes to fertilizers. Determining the nutritional requirements of your crop requires the review of several factors, including:
To be fair, there are even more factors at play, but this list already clearly illustrates how various farming applications can require vastly different solutions.
