The role of NPK in plant growth
Date:2024/08/05
When it comes to exploring the secrets of plant growth, the three main nutrients, NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium), play an indispensable role. They are not only the components of many key compounds in plants, but also directly involved in the growth and metabolism of plants, and have a profound impact on the growth and development, yield and quality of plants. At the same time, with the development of modern agricultural technology, organic fertilizer granulator plays an important role in improving fertilizer utilization efficiency and promoting sustainable development of agriculture.
Role of nitrogen (N)
Nitrogen is a living substance - the main component of proteins, accounting for 16-18% of protein content. At the same time, it is an essential element for nucleic acids, chlorophyll, many enzymes and vitamins. Nitrogen has a significant effect on plant root and leaf growth and is key to cell division and growth. When nitrogen is deficient, plants will show symptoms such as light and yellow leaf color, weak photosynthesis, slow growth, and short plant. Proper supply of nitrogen fertilizer can promote vigorous crop growth, improve photosynthesis efficiency and seed setting rate, and thus increase yield.
There are various types of nitrogen fertilizer, including urea, ammonia, ammonium bicarbonate and so on. However, in order to improve the utilization rate of nitrogen fertilizer and reduce environmental pollution, more and more farmers began to choose to use organic fertilizers. The Fertilizer Granules Compaction Machine is a useful tool for converting nitrogen fertilizer into pellets for precise fertilization.
The role of phosphorus (P)
Phosphorus is a component of many important compounds in plants and is involved in the metabolic process of plants. As a component of nucleoprotein, phospholipid, phytotin and ATP, phosphorus plays an important role in cell division, root development and energy metabolism. Lack of phosphorus can lead to plant growth stagnation, the phenomenon of "dead seedlings". At the same time, phosphorus can also enhance the drought resistance, cold resistance, disease resistance and lodging resistance of crops, improve the adaptability and yield of crops.
Phosphate fertilizer is rich in variety, such as ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, diammonium hydrogen phosphate and so on. In the processing of phosphate fertilizer, the Flat-Die Pellet Machine, with its efficient granulation capacity, converts phosphate fertilizer into granular products that are easy to store and use, further improving the utilization rate of phosphate fertilizer.
The role of potassium (K)
Potassium exists mainly in the ionic state in plants, is the activator of many enzymes, and plays an important role in physiological processes such as photosynthesis, carbohydrate synthesis and transport, and protein synthesis. Potassium can also enhance the toughness of crop stems, improve the lodging resistance and resistance to disease and insects. When potassium is deficient, plants will show symptoms such as scorched leaf edges and poor root development.
There are various kinds of potassium fertilizer, including potassium sulfate, potassium chloride and so on. Like nitrogen fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer, potassium fertilizer can also be processed by organic fertilizer granulator to make granular fertilizer to meet the fertilization needs of modern agriculture. In the production line of potash fertilizer, the Rotary Drum Granulator provides strong support for the wide application of potash fertilizer with its continuous granulation process and stable particle quality.
