In general, all fertilizing does is bring nutrients needed by plants closer to their roots. For plants like radishes or any type of tree, no fertilizer is needed because they have sufficient roots which can reach deeper into the soil and find the nutrients they need. Other plants like tomatoes will benefit from fertilizing. Generally, fertilized plants will do better in any situation and yield more growth.
The above answer is slightly misleading.
The nutrients must be in the soil before roots can take them up. An established tree with a mature root-ball will have exhausted the available feeding and to continue normal growth will need some supplements.
When planting young plants a light dressing of general fertiliser applied to the soil before planting is beneficial.

∙ 12y agoPlants can survive without fertilizer, but they may not grow as well or produce as many flowers or fruits. Fertilizer provides essential nutrients that plants need for growth and overall health. Regularly fertilizing plants can help them thrive and reach their full potential.

∙ 14y agoYes. Commercially available fertilizers have 3 numbers on the label, e.g. 10-8-3, that indicate how much Nitrogen ('10' in the example), Phosphorus ('8') and Potassium ('3') are in the fertilizer. This number is often referred to as N-P-K, the letters assigned to nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the periodic table.

∙ 15y agoIndeed they can, depending on what type of fertilizer and what plant. I recommend looking at some specialist gardening sites for information on fertilizer and what to use it for.

∙ 11y agoFertilizer does help plant growth it helps the plants to get the vitamins and nutrients it needs.

∙ 13y agoNo, plants do not need fertiliser, but it certainly helps give them the butrients and minerals they do require.
but u need some ()===}=======>

∙ 7y agoA fertilizer is used to replace nutrients that the plant has used up.

Plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, which is the process through which they make their own food. They also require oxygen for respiration, which is the process that releases energy from their food.
Plants get their mineral ions from a bumblebee pulling off a petal then escreting into the flower, giving the plant its ions.
Plants stay alive through photosynthesis, a process where they convert sunlight into energy to create food. They also obtain water and nutrients from the soil through their roots, and use these resources to grow, reproduce, and perform other essential functions to survive. Additionally, plants have adaptations such as waxy cuticles to retain moisture and protection mechanisms to defend against pests and diseases.
Annual plants do photosynthesize, (I think) because they have to eat to stay alive, even annually.
they are needed because it will help them stay alive and grow beautiful and so they stay healthy ok :)

Water and nutrients
Yes, they get nutrients through photosynthesis.
plants need food to grow and they need it to stay alive, it is also part of their photosynthesis.
Because new gas is produced as a part of a cycle.
Plants and Algae. They convert CO2 to O2 (what we breathe).
yes because plants need to stay alive so that the world can grow
They need to stay alive to support the organism
They give us oxygen, and help us to stay alive without plants we wouldnt be alive
== == so they stay alive the plants need minerals so make glucose
Plants need sunlight to perform photosynthesis, they use this to stay alive, they absorb the water through there stems and use the sunlight to generate energy from the water
Soils are a mixture of minerals, organic matter, water, and air that support plant growth. They are formed through the weathering of rocks over time. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure. They can be found in rocks and soils, and are important for various industrial and agricultural applications.
