For plants to thrive, they require a magic formula: water plus sunlight plus air plus fertilizer. But fertilizers—substances that make soil more fertile—are essential to plant health because not all soils are equally nutritious. In short: Fertilizer is plant food. All plants need fertilization.

Nutrients and irrigation speed up crop development, increase crop yield and prevent contamination. Adding the right amount of fertilizer is an essential practice for nutrient management based on your farm's goals and soil conditions. One way we see farms overspending is through the overuse of fertilizers.
