Why is mineral fertilizer often used in modern agriculture instead of organic fertilizer?
Mineral fertilizers are often used in modern agriculture instead of organic fertilizers because they provide a quick and easily accessible source of essential nutrients for plants. They are also more concentrated and can be applied in precise amounts to meet the specific needs of crops. Additionally, mineral fertilizers are more cost-effective and have a longer shelf life compared to organic fertilizers. Lastly, mineral fertilizers can be manufactured to have specific nutrient ratios, making them a versatile option for different types of crops and soil conditions.

What is the difference between rainfed agriculture and irrigated agriculture?
Rainfed agriculture relies on natural rainfall for watering crops, while irrigated agriculture involves the artificial application of water to the soil. Rainfed agriculture is more dependent on the timing and amount of rainfall, which can be unpredictable and may lead to crop failures during dry periods. In contrast, irrigated agriculture allows for more control over the water supply, which can result in more consistent and reliable crop production. However, irrigated agriculture requires access to water sources and infrastructure for water distribution, which may not be available in all regions.
-
What fertilizer is used for hydroponics?
Hydroponic systems typically use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer that contains all the essential nutrients plants need to grow. This type of fertilizer is specifically formulated for hydroponic systems to ensure optimal plant growth and development. Common ingredients in hydroponic fertilizers include nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and various micronutrients. It is important to closely follow the manufacturer's instructions for mixing and applying the fertilizer to prevent nutrient deficiencies or toxicities in the plants.
-
What is conventional agriculture?
Conventional agriculture refers to the traditional method of farming that relies heavily on synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides to maximize crop yields. It often involves monoculture, where a single crop is grown on a large scale, and mechanized farming practices. While conventional agriculture has helped increase food production to meet the demands of a growing population, it has also been criticized for its negative impacts on the environment, such as soil degradation, water pollution, and loss of biodiversity.

What is grafting in agriculture?
Grafting in agriculture is a technique where tissues from one plant are inserted into another plant in such a way that they grow together and eventually become one plant. This process is commonly used to combine the desirable traits of two different plants, such as disease resistance or improved fruit quality. Grafting is a common practice in fruit tree cultivation, allowing farmers to produce trees that bear multiple varieties of fruit on the same tree.
