Exciting aspects
of plant nutrition
explained

Prices for fertilizer and other production inputs are currently comparatively high. This raises the question of the economic viability of basic fertilization. We take a close look at potash fertilization and calculate its profitability for different producer and input prices.

Does it make sense to use industrial waste products as fertilizer? In times of scarce availability or high prices of established fertilizers, this question comes up again and again. We explain why the nutrient form is of crucial importance in magnesium foliar fertilization.

Which plants prefer the trace element chlorine and which tolerate it less well? Learn more about the tolerance of chlorine and how to achieve optimal quality as well as good yields for different crops.

To protect the environment, the use of fertilizers containing nitrogen and phosphorus should be reduced. Therefore, these nutrients must be utilized as efficiently as possible. The "struvite effect" provides assistance in this respect. Here we explain what this is all about and what benefits it brings.

For the basic fertilization of agricultural crops, potassium is available in sulfate and chloride forms. This KALI Academy article explains which quality parameters the nutrient forms have an influence on in potatoes.

Drought stress can severely affect crop growth and development. Did you know that balanced fertilization with potassium, magnesium, and sulfur can minimize the impact of drought stress on plants? Here you can find out how to benefit from this.

How is your knowledge of sulfur fertilization? The different states and properties of sulfur cause a lot of misconceptions when it comes to plant supply.

When plants absorb nutrients from the soil, interactions occur. These interactions vary from nutrient to nutrient. They can have a positive or negative influence on plant nutrition and consequently also on the yield and quality of the harvested products.

A needs-based nutrient supply has a significant influence on the quality and yield of the harvested products. Learn more about fertilization in organic farming.

Freezing temperatures without protective snow or alternating frosts can cause severe damage to agricultural crops. The nutrient potassium has a significant influence on the frost resistance of plants. Learn here how to successfully prepare your crops for the winter.

The micronutrient boron has a great impact on plant metabolism. In this article from the KALI Academy, you will learn why it can only move in one direction in the plant and what this means for its ideal use in soil and foliar fertilization.

Using nutrients as efficiently as possible is an absolute priority for agriculture. Against the background of the new fertilizer regulations, we identify approaches to increasing nutrient efficiency and support farmers in securing their yields.

Soybean is an attractive forage and protein crop. This article deals with the competition between rhizobia and pods. It furthermore gets into detail regarding the demands of soybeans on plant nutrition.

In fertilizer planning, there is a high focus on nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. But what about magnesium? It's worth taking a closer look at the functions of this nutrient in the plant. Magnesium has great potential for optimizing growth and yield formation.
