Wherever plants are grown, they need nutrients to keep them healthy. Those nutrients can come from the soil or other growth medium and/or they can be added to the environment to ensure optimal plant nutrition which leads to better crop yield. When we look at plant nutrition and health, we are not only looking at the plant’s nutrient uptake, but also at creating an optimal environment for plant growth – fewer pests and invasive, undesired plants, disease treatments for example. Much of the research and manufacturing around plant nutrition and health is focused on creating hearty and healthy plants that can feed the growing world population.
