Did you know that plants need nutrients mainly for photosynthesis and regeneration?
As crops grow, they transfer key nutrients like phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) from leaves to grains. Analyzing these grain nutrients—such as N, P, potassium (K), sulfur (S), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu)—helps us understand how much nutrient is removed from the soil during harvest.
Grain analysis is a new tool that measures these nutrients to guide soil replenishment. By comparing results in large datasets, such as through services like YEN Nutrition, farmers can benchmark their crops' nutrient status and pinpoint areas for improvement. This ensures better soil management and crop health for future yields.
