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.
Plants 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.
Yes. 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.
Indeed 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.
Fertilizer does help plant growth it helps the plants to get the vitamins and nutrients it needs.
No, plants do not need fertiliser, but it certainly helps give them the butrients and minerals they do require.
but u need some ()===}=======>
A fertilizer is used to replace nutrients that the plant has used up.

What type of gas do plants need to stay alive?
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.
Why do plants need minerals elements?
Plants get their mineral ions from a bumblebee pulling off a petal then escreting into the flower, giving the plant its ions.
How do plants stay alive?
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.
Do annual plants photosynthesise?
Annual plants do photosynthesize, (I think) because they have to eat to stay alive, even annually.
Why are minerals needed by plants?
they are needed because it will help them stay alive and grow beautiful and so they stay healthy ok :)
What do plants and animals need to stay alive?
Water and nutrients
Do plants need food to stay alive?
Yes, they get nutrients through photosynthesis.
Why do plant need food?
plants need food to grow and they need it to stay alive, it is also part of their photosynthesis.
What type of gas do plants need to stay alive?
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.
Why don't we run out of the importanat gases that we need to stay alive?
Because new gas is produced as a part of a cycle.
Why do cells need to stay alive?
They need to stay alive to support the organism
What living thing does mankind need to stay alive?
Plants and Algae. They convert CO2 to O2 (what we breathe).
Does it matter what you water a plant with?
yes because plants need to stay alive so that the world can grow
How plants are useful?
They give us oxygen, and help us to stay alive without plants we wouldnt be alive
Why are minerals necessary in plant metabolism?
== == so they stay alive the plants need minerals so make glucose
Why do plants need the energy of sunlight?
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
How do plants get the materials they need for photosynthesis?
Well is that plants need to have food to get photosynesis too work.Two they need alot of sunlight.So in order for photosynthesis to work there a couple of things a plant will neeed if there going to stay alive.
