Nitrogen is a crucial micronutrient for plant function and a component of amino acids, which create the building blocks of plant enzymes and proteins. Without enough nitrogen, a plant cannot make amino acids, proteins, and even its own DNA. When applied to the soil, nitrogen can support the fast growth of the plants and ensure healthy foliage and fruits. Thus, a nitrogen-rich fertilizer is appropriate for young plants that need to grow fast. Here are a few reasons why nitrogen fertilizer for plants.
Growth of Plant Tissues
Nitrogen plays a crucial role in the growth of protoplasm, which is responsible for fast shoot growth, the vitality of flower buds, flower differentiation, and the quality of the vegetables or fruits. Nitrogen gives plants the energy they need for growth from the ground up: roots, stems, trunks, vines, leaves, flowers, etc.
Chlorophyll Production
Nitrogen aids in the production of the chlorophyll molecule, which helps plants to capture sunlight energy by photosynthesis, leading to growth and healthy grain yield. The chlorophyll molecule is the component that gives plants that natural verdant glow.
Strengthens Plant DNA
DNA is the crucial factor that determines genetics, and nitrogen helps retain the genetic code within a plant’s nucleus. A lack of responsive genes can wipe out entire crops in case of a fungal or viral infection. Applying nitrogen-rich fertilizer (organic or chemical) is vital to strengthen plant DNA.
About IFFCO Nano Urea
IFFCO Nano Urea is the only Nano fertilizer approved by the Government of India and included in the FCO or Fertilizer Control Order. Nano urea has 4.0 % total nitrogen with particle sizes of 20 to 50 nm. These tiny particles are evenly mixed in the water. Due to its small size and high efficiency, Nano Urea boosts the availability of nitrogen to the plant.
