Question
Chapter 35.3, Problem 3R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The differences between inorganic and organic nitrogen fertilizers used for plant nutrition.
Introduction:
Plants need to take up some essential nutrients from the soil in order for them to grow and complete their life cycle. On depletion of these minerals from the soil, fertilizers are used that restore the soil fertility externally.
