Plant Nutrition Theory

Plant Nutrition Theory
Here we will cover some basics of Plant Nutrition Theory and Natueco science

1. We all know that plants extract nutrients from soil by it’s white roots. We help the plants to develop the feeder roots by providing well structured nursery soil which is rich in microbes and nutrients. We increase the soil nutrients with ash which is well decomposed black biomass combination of green leaves (both tender and mature) and plants at the flowering stage. Nutrition provides life to soil, fibrous material provides structure to the soil.


2. To fulfill the need of nutrients add 25g of ash at the active feeder roots area of a plant every 100 days. The science behind this is: whatever nutrients are taken by the plant from the soil are replenished by burning wood and providing that ash to the soil. It can be studied by burning the different parts of a plant that has grown for 3 months.


3. A plant uses water for its intake of nutrients from the soil. This process takes place by ion exchange. Water becomes a medium between the roots and the soil. Plants give an atom of hydrogen to the soil and take Potash and other nutrients inside. So a thin medium of water is necessary in between the roots and the soil.


4. Cellulose and fiber get converted into compost and takes the form of humus. Thus we provide structure to roots for their development and health to the plants. Amrutjal and tender leaves can increase life (microbes) in the soil. Ash can add 100 nutrients to the soil. To fulfill the need of basic nutrients and microbes 25 gm ash is required per square foot of soil every 100 days.


5. Five kg plant dry weight can be formed with 1000 litres water. That means with 1 litre of water per square foot, 30-gram plant dry weight can be formed in 10 days. On the other hand 3 to 4 grams dry weight (glucose) per square foot per day can be developed by a matured green leaf. This dry weight is equivalent to 12 to 16 kilo calories. This means 1 gram of dry weight is equal to 4 kilo calories.


6. It takes 800 kilo calories of energy to create a single litre of rain water (accounting for evaporation of seawater, cloud formation and rain fall) and eight hundred kilo calories is equal to 1 unit of electricity. It means 1 unit of electricity can be developed by 1 kg of dry biomass.
