Soil Nutrients and Elements

Soil Nutrients and Elements

Soil nutrients are the nutrients provided by the soil that are essential for plant growth. Nutrients are classified as major elements, medium elements, and trace elements. Depending on the ease of absorption and utilization of nutrients by plants, they are divided into fast-acting and late-acting nutrients. Their effectiveness depends on the form in which they are present. Soil nutrient forms are not fixed, and their morphological transformation includes chemical transformation, physicochemical transformation, and biochemical transformation. Soil nutrients are one of the important sources of nutrient uptake by crops, and they account for a high proportion of the total nutrient uptake by crops.

Our Solution

The world's population growth and economic development require us to strive to develop high-yield, high-quality, high-efficiency agriculture, produce more food, fiber, sugar, oil, and other agricultural products on limited arable land, improve product quality, and obtain maximum economic benefits. At the same time, we must continue to improve and enhance soil fertility and soil productivity, to protect our living environment from pollution. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of soil nutrient status can protect the soil while making full use of soil resources, improve soil fertility, and ensure a balanced supply of nutrients without damaging the environment, which is a very important research content.
