A good Soil Environment Promotes Root Growth
Root growth is affected by the soil environment directly. Soil water, air, temperature, nutrition, ph, and granular structure all affect root growth and development.
In recent years, the soil environment has been polluted more and more seriously, which leads to the successive occurrence of various soil diseases. Soil hardening affects the natural vitality and self-regulation ability of soil. Soil salinization leads to crop poor growth, in a serious situation it will also cause physiological drought, nutrient absorption barrier, and soil structure seriously damaged. Digging and plowing will not only cause tillage erosion but also aggravate wind erosion and water erosion, which will lead to soil desertification and reduce the ability of water and fertilizer conservation eventually.
The main fertilizer-absorbing organs of crops are the root system. Soil problems will cause damage to the root system, thus affecting the absorption of water and fertilizer by the root system. Therefore, only regulating the soil well can improve the nutrient uptake efficiency of the root system.
The following three aspects can provide a good soil environment for the crops and make the root system grow healthier and stronger.
- Soil management: Sufficient nutrients, rich soil organic matter. Test the soil acidity and alkalinity in time to avoid the harm caused by the soil over-acidity and alkalinity. Turn the soil so that it does not harden.
- Fertilization: Scientific and reasonable combination of balanced fertilization. Pay attention to the principle of organic fertilizer as the main, and various trace elements as the auxiliary fertilizer. Avoid partial application, less application and over fertilization, the formula should be scientific.
- Choose good natural growth stimulating products such as High content Potassium Humate, Potassium Fulvate, or Mineral Source Fulvic Acid from VitalYield.
