Fertilizer Uses Beyond Yields in Plant Health
Farmers use fertilizer to combat plant diseases such as wilt and rust while boosting protein in wheat and improving copper content in pasturage. Scientific work at universities and experiments in New London and Mississippi show fertilization as a tool for health-building by enhancing plant nutrients that transfer to animal and human diets.
