Step by Step Process to Boost Plant Growth
Preparation is Key
One of the most important initial steps when planning to grow crops is soil preparation.
No matter how good the methods or technology, infertile soil or improperly prepared soil leads to poor crop yield. You may also need to carry out some research to find out what types of environments your plants are more likely to thrive in.
Factors affecting plant growth
Factors such as having the correct amount of light, air, water are all important, along with using the correct fertilizers. Missing just one of these factors has detrimental consequences on the yield performance.
The soil is one of the most important elements for plant growth. The soil has to be rich in organic matter and nutrients. Fertilizers are added to the soil to make it more fertile. Utilizing substances such as eggshells, banana skins and even animal waste are effective ways to increase plant growth.
Light is another very important factor for plant growth as without light, photosynthesis can’t take place. Aside from light, different plants need different levels of temperature. It is essential that the temperature is suitable for the particular plant.
Lastly, plants just like us need water and again, the right amount is crucial for optimum growth.
It is not always possible to implement all of the above due to the environmental factors such as the climate and other factors such as pollution. Even if the soil, climate and water are ideal for the plant, there is no guarantee growth will be optimal.
Products to improve plant performance
Modern agricultural technology has come a long way and with this updated technology, comes new innovative products that help sustainable agriculture.
Verdesian Life Sciences has been at the forefront of agricultural research and development of sustainable agricultural products. Verdesian’s fertilizers help deliver more nutrients into plants and increase crop yield.
Crop+ developed by Verdesian is a crop treatment that improves nutrient uptake, root development, shoot health and enhances photosynthesis.
