Plant nutrition as a scientific discipline within Agricultural Chemistry focuses on:
- The dynamics and mobility of nutrients
in soil
- The processes of nutrient uptake
from soil and transport within the plant
- Fertilizer technology and the determination
of fertilizer requirements
- The influence of environmental chemicals
on plant growth
The goal is to achieve economically high yields of plant products with high levels
of valuable
constituents through optimal nutrition, while conserving the environment and resources.
