What is the importance of plant physiology in agriculture?
Does plant physiology also help in developing new fertilizers?
Yes, plant physiology plays a key role in designing fertilizers that deliver nutrients to plants more efficiently. By understanding how plants absorb and use different nutrients, researchers can develop fertilizers that are better suited to meet the specific needs of different crops and soil types. This not only improves the effectiveness of fertilizers, but also reduces the risk of nutrient leaching and runoff, which can have negative impacts on the environment.
