| Abstract | Plant nutrients play a vital role in crop production, influencing the growth, development, and yield of agricultural crops. This document provides an in-depth exploration of the essential plant nutrients and their functions, highlighting the importance of understanding their roles in optimizing crop productivity. It covers the classification of plant nutrients into primary, secondary, and micronutrients, and discusses how deficiencies in these nutrients can impact plant health and production. The document also examines various sources of plant nutrients, including soil, organic manures, and mineral fertilizers, with an emphasis on the significance of fertilizer application methods and timing. The role of mineral fertilizers in replenishing soil nutrients, along with their types, nutrient contents, and characteristics, is also explored. Recommendations for efficient fertilizer use and practices for maintaining soil fertility are provided, underscoring the importance of nutrient management in ensuring sustainable agricultural production. This training manual is designed to support agro-dealers, extension workers, and farmers in understanding plant nutrition and applying the best practices for crop production. | |
