Growth nutrients

Fertilisers are responsible for providing the nutrients that plants need for their correct development. There are many types of fertilisers and each of them has a specific use. Among the varieties of fertilisers available on the market, growth nutrients are especially designed for the vegetative growth stage of the life cycle of indoor and outdoor crops.

Once the seeds have germinated or the cuttings are ready for transplanting, it is necessary to have a good nutrient for vegetative growth to stimulate vigour during this stage of the plants' life cycle. In the following, the general characteristics of this type of nutrient will be presented and some of the best growth fertilisers on the market will be mentioned.

Characteristics of the growth fertilisers

Vegetative growth is a stage in the life cycle of plants in which the plant develops its structure and prepares for flowering. During this stage, plants may appear weak, so it is necessary to provide everything necessary for their correct development and this includes, of course, the use of special nutrients for vegetative growth.

During this stage, indoor and outdoor crops need a specific nutrient supply, a combination of nutrients that works to accelerate the vigour of the plants and then needs to be modified when the plant matures and the photoperiods change. The aim of growing is to prepare the crop for flowering, the phase where the plant will mature its flowers.

The most important nutrient during growth is nitrogen. While it is true that growing crops need other macronutrients and trace elements, nitrogen is the one they need the most. Why? Nitrogen is primarily responsible for the growth of leaves and stems and therefore directly affects the size and vigour of the plant.

Nitrogen is also essential during vegetative growth for the production of chlorophyll, the molecule that gives plants their characteristic green colour. This plant pigment is also essential for the development of photosynthesis, a process in which the plant carries out gas exchange.

Plants are large consumers of nitrogen, but it is not the only factor needed in vegetative growth fertilisers. Thus, the presence of trace elements such as calcium, iron, sulphur or manganese in small quantities also helps the crop to undergo successful vegetative growth.
