Processes
This is what plants use nutrients for besides building tissue.
What is energy?
This micronutrient has the chemical symbol “B”.
What is Boron?
This process causes nitrogen(N) loss from urea into the atmosphere.
What is volatilization?
Nitrogen (N) is a key part of these biological molecules.
What are amino acids?
This type of fertilizer is mixed with water before application.
What is liquid fertilizer?
These compounds store and transfer genetic information in plants.
What are DNA and RNA?
This micronutrient has the chemical symbol “Zn”.
What is Zinc?
This help break down granular fertilizers in soil.
What is water?
Nitrogen (N) is essential for this green pigment in plants.
What is chlorophyll?
These fertilizers are applied weeks or months before planting.
What are organic fertilizers?
This process includes all chemical reactions to sustain life.
What is metabolism?
This micronutrient has the chemical symbol “Mo”.
What is molybdenum?
This factor activates coated fertilizers besides moisture.
What is temperature?
These structures carry genetic instructions and contain nitrogen (N).
What are nucleic acids?
This fertilizer form is spread evenly around plants as small particles.
What is granular fertilizer?
These compounds include hormones and defense chemicals in plants.
What are secondary metabolites?
This micronutrient has the chemical symbol “Cu”.
What is Copper?
This describes how long fertilizer nutrients remain available.
What is longevity?
This process requires nitrogen (N) for cell division and reproduction.
What is growth?
This characteristic describes how nutrients are immediately available.
What is water-soluble?
This cellular process depends heavily on chlorophyll and magnesium.
What is photosynthesis?
This micronutrient has the chemical symbol “Ni”.
What is Nickel?
This determines how quickly lime changes soil pH.
What is particle size?
Coarse vs Fine
These proteins speed up chemical reactions and contain nitrogen (N).
What are enzymes?
This coating material is often used in slow-release fertilizers.
What is plastic or sulfur (S) coating?
