Talajtrágyázás

Talajtrágyázás, also known as soil fertilization, is the process of adding nutrients to the soil to improve plant growth and crop yield. This practice is essential in agriculture and horticulture to replenish nutrients that are depleted by plant uptake or lost through leaching and erosion. Fertilizers can be organic or inorganic. Organic fertilizers include compost, manure, and green manure, which improve soil structure and microbial activity in addition to providing nutrients. Inorganic fertilizers, often called synthetic fertilizers, are chemically manufactured and provide specific nutrients in readily available forms, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

The type and amount of fertilizer used depend on several factors, including soil type, crop requirements, and existing nutrient levels. Soil testing is a common method to determine nutrient deficiencies and guide fertilization decisions. Proper talajtrágyázás aims to provide a balanced supply of essential macronutrients and micronutrients required for healthy plant development, leading to better quality produce and more sustainable land use. Over-fertilization can lead to environmental problems such as water pollution through nutrient runoff and can also harm plant health. Therefore, efficient and responsible fertilization practices are crucial for both agricultural productivity and environmental protection.
