Crop nutrition is the study of how plants obtain and utilize nutrients from the soil in order to grow and produce healthy crops. This area of research focuses on understanding the essential nutrients required by different crops, as well as how to optimize nutrient availability and uptake through efficient fertilization practices. Crop nutrition research often involves studying the interactions between soil fertility, plant physiology, and environmental factors to improve crop productivity, quality, and resilience to stress. Additionally, this research area also explores sustainable and environmentally friendly methods of nutrient management to minimize the negative impacts of fertilizers on soil and water quality.
