Abstract

Effective nutrient management is crucial for unlocking plant growth and achieving optimal yield. Plants require a balanced supply of macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and micronutrients (iron, zinc, copper) to thrive. This article provides a comprehensive overview of nutrient management strategies, beginning with soil health assessment and testing. It emphasizes the importance of tailoring nutrient applications to specific plant needs and soil conditions. The article also discusses methods to enhance nutrient availability, such as improving soil structure and using soil amendments, and highlights sustainable practices for long-term soil health and environmental protection. By implementing these strategies, gardeners and farmers can optimize plant growth, boost productivity, and contribute to sustainable agricultural practices.
