a chemical or natural product that is used to increase growth of plants and crops ...... back
Any substance added to the soil to supplement elements required in the nutrition of plants.
Material applied to plants or soil to supply plant nutrients, most commonly nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium but may include others. Organic fertilizer is natural organic material such as manure, which releases nutrients as it breaks down. Inorganic fertilizer, also called chemical fertilizer, is a mixture of one or more necessary nutrients in inorganic chemical form.
any substance used to make soil more fertile for plants to grow; there are a large number of natural and artificial substances that can be mixed into soil to help the soil better support plant growth
something put on the ground to make it richer so that crops grow better
Substance that adds inorganic or organic plant nutrients to soil and improves its ability to grow crops, trees, or other vegetation. See commercial inorganic fertilizer, organic fertilizer.
Any substance which provides some combination of essential elements to plants. Recommended fertilizers for African Violets are normally available as soluble powders or concentrated liquid and contain, in addition to other essential elements, approximately equal percentages of the primary elements, NPK. For standard African Violets, a good fertilizer should have an NPK of about 14-12-14. For miniatures, the primary elements should be somewhat diluted with a relatively higher percentage of phosphorus, i.e., 7-9-5. Also see Major Element, Micronutrient and Trace Element.
A substance added to the soil to improve plant growth. The most commonly used fertilizers are those containing large amounts of nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus.
plant food applied to the soil for plants to use for nourishment and growth
a material that is added to soil to increase its fertility and enhance plant growth; includes manure (a natural fertilizer) and synthetic materials made from nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compounds.
A substance, often an artificial chemical mixture, which is spread on or through the soil to make it more fertile.
A substance that is put on the ground to help crops and other plants grow better. Fertilizers give plants nutrients. Fertilizers can be man-made chemicals or natural materials such as manure.
Materials that stimulate the growth of crops when added to soil or water.

A natural or manufactured material added to the soil that supplies one or more of the major nutrients - nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium - to growing plants.
an organic or inorganic material, such as manure or chemicals, that is put on or in the soil to improve the quality of the soil and encourage better plant growth.
A product which adds nutrients to soil.
plant nutrients added to the soil as commercial fertilizers, animal manure and other chemicals.
any substance such as manure or a mixture of nitrates used to make soil more fertile
a material designed to supply nutrients to plants
a material which contains one (or sometimes two or three) of the major plant food nutrients--nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium
a plant nutrient added to a soil to increase its yield
a substance added to the soil that provides one or more essential elements
a substance applied to soil to enhance its ability to produce plentiful, healthy plants
a substance that is added to soil to help plants grow
a substance that is very rich in plant foods
a substance used for the purpose of supplying one or more of the elements essential for normal plant growth and development
a substance which is of use to the nutrition of plants by bringing
A mix of nutrients added to soil to make it richer.
a substance added to water to increase the production of natural fish food organisms.
Supplement to naturally occurring element necessary for plant growth. Fertilizer can be liquid or granular and organic or inorganic (man-made).
A substance added to soil to the pond to increase its productivity.
Substances, such as chemicals or animal manure, used to provide nutrients to help plants grow. Many people use fertilizers on their lawns and gardens.
natural and synthetic materials including manure, nitrogen, phosphorus and treated sewage sludge that are worked into the soil to provide nutrients and increase its fertility.
Combined with soil to assist plant growth, contains elements needed by plants. Mainly contains potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen.
This is "food" for your bonsai, shrubs, and plants usually comprised of NPK: Phosphorous for the roots, Nitrogen for the foliage, and Potassium for the flowers.
A substance, such as manure or chemical mixtures, that is used to make soil more fertile.
Any natural or manufactured material added to soil to supply an essential plant nutrient.
Any substance, either natural or manufactured, used to aid plant growth by addition of nitrates and other compounds that "feed" the plant.
any organic or inorganic material of natural or synthetic origin that is added to soil to supply certain elements essential to the growth of plants.
Any organic or inorganic material, either natural or synthetic, used to supply elements (such as nitrogen (N), phosphate (P2O5), and potash (K2O)) essential for plant growth. If used in excess or attached to eroding soil, fertilizers can become a source of water pollution.
Any of a large number of natural or synthetic materials, including manure and nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium compounds, spread on or worked into soil to increase its fertility.
A single or blended substance containing one or more recognized plant nutrient(s) which is used primarily for its plant nutrient content and which is designed for use or claimed to have value in promoting plant growth.
Any material put on or into the soil to improve the quality or quantity of plant growth.
A substance containing one or more recognized plant nutrients which is used primarily to promote plant growth.
a substance (such as manure or a chemical mixture) used to enrich the soil and increase plant growth
Materials such as nitrogen and phosphorus that provide nutrients for plants (USVI Conservation District, 1995); any organic or inorganic material of natural or synthetic origin that is added to a soil to supply elements essential to plant growth (USEPA, 1993).
Any material, except lime, supplying essential nutrients to plants.
substance which is added to soil, grass, plants to help grow.
a substance ( e.g., manure or a chemical mixture) applied to make soil more fertile
a substance (natural or man-made) used to enrich the soil and to provide food for plants.
Organic or inorganic plant foods which may be either liquid or granular used to amend the soil in order to improve the quality or quantity of plant growth.
natural and synthetic materials spread on or worked into soil to increase plant growth and productivity.

Essential minerals for the nutrition of the plant.
A nutrient applied to plants to assist growth.
An organic or inorganic material with the properties of minerals required for plant metabolism.
Nutrient supplements that stimulate and maintain healthy plant growth. The most common nutrients contained in fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
Manufactured, mined or naturally occuring substances that contain available plant nutrients.
Any of a large number of organic and synthetic materials, (including manure and nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium compounds) spread on or worked into soil to increase its capacity to support plant growth.
Substance applied to soil or hydroponic systems for improving the root nutrition of plants with the aim of increasing crop yields and/or controlling production.
Materials such as nitrogen and phosphorus that provide nutrients for plants. Commercially sold fertilizers may contain other chemicals or may be in the form of processed sewage sludge.
Fertilizer is material that is added to soil to increase is fertility and output. Fertilizers include manure, compost, and chemical mixtures.
Fertilizers (British English fertilisers) are compounds given to plants to promote growth; they are usually applied either via the soil, for uptake by plant roots, or by foliar feeding, for uptake through leaves. Fertilizers can be organic (composed of organic matter, i.e. carbon based), or inorganic (containing simple, inorganic chemicals). They can be naturally-occurring compounds such as peat or mineral deposits, or manufactured through natural processes (such as composting) or chemical processes (such as the Haber process).
