Fertilizers or fertilizers are chemical compounds that aim to address deficiencies in substances vital to the survival of plants. Are applied in agriculture for the purpose of improving the production. Plants require different chemical elements: Macronutrients: Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, calcium, magnesium and potassium, micronutrients: boron, cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc. Some of these elements are abundantly available in the environment of our planet and are directly assimilated by plants, such as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Other such as nitrogen, although widely available in the atmosphere, are not directly absorbable by the plants, or the absorption process is very slow compared to the demand production. And that the necessary elements are usually added to their crops by farmers to address these deficiencies and increase productivity, we call compost. Can be applied through the leaves by spraying manual or mechanized, called foliar fertilization via irrigation or through the ground. Before applying any fertilizer or lime soil, you must first do a soil test and then refer her to an agronomist, forester, forestry technician or technical agriculture so that, therefore, no there is waste and unnecessary purchases, or incorrect use of fertilizers can cause losses in productivity with the use of unbalanced nutrients (excess of a nutrient and the absence of another may leave the plant very susceptible to diseases).
