Animal & Plant Nutrition

Plant nutrition is the study of chemical elements and chemical compounds that are necessary for plant growth and also for their external supply and internal metabolism. Plant nutrition nourishes plants, encourages growth, and consolidates and fortifies the plant world. Plants require feed and nutrients in order to grow. The fertilizers used in plant nutrition stimulate growth by providing the nutrients they need, from root to leaf. They also protect the plants from the harsh environment and improve their resistance to stress. Animal nutrition is the mode of taking food by an organism and its utilization in the body by the process by which complex food substances are broken down into simpler substances, also known as Digestion.
