Many farmers prefer to choose dap fertilizer composition of DAP fertilizer includes nitrogen and phosphorus. Also known as Di-ammonium Phosphate, this fertiliser has the two most essential nutrients required for the growth of crops. Here is a brief description of the significant role of nitrogen and phosphorus in plants:
Role of Nitrogen in Plants
Plants need nitrogen-based fertilisers because nitrogen is one of the most vital elements for living organisms. Nitrogen is found naturally in the form of cytochromes, proteins, vitamins, nucleic acid and hormones. It is known as the fundamental constituent of nucleic acid, which plays an essential role in regulating metabolism, growth, reproduction and heredity. Plants take nitrogen from the soil through fertilisers or animal and plant residues. The nitrogen-fixing bacteria, i.e. Rhizobium in the soil, converts the nitrogen to ammonium and nitrate, which is taken up by the plants by a process of nitrogen fixation.
2. Role of Phosphorous in plants
Phosphorous is a part of key plant structure compounds, and it also works as a catalyst for the conversion of several key biochemical reactions in plants. It plays a role in capturing and converting the sun's energy into plant compounds. The energy unit of plants, ATP, has phosphorous in its structure. It is also associated with specific growth factors such as stimulated root development, increased stalk and stem strength, improved flower formation and seed production, increased nitrogen N-fixing capacity of legumes and others.
