Challenging Plants: Soil Science - Practicals

In association with Reckitt Benckiser

The nature of soil particles (inorganic and organic) and of soil water affects plant growth and, in particular, the availability of nutrients essential for the growth of quality crops in high yield. An understanding of the media in which plants grow helps scientists to exploit their potential.

An understanding of the structure and function of plants, the movement of materials through them and the chemical reactions that happen within them helps scientists to exploit the potential of plants.
Resource
Challenging Plants: Fertilisers

In association with Reckitt Benckiser

Nutrients essential for plant growth are obtained naturally from soil or other growing media. However, supplies become depleted and fertilisers are needed to increase the availability of nutrients to plants. An understanding of chemical changes is used to making fertilisers, often designed to meet specific requirements such as particular nutrient ...
