Across
  1. 2. Spreading fertilizer to cover the entire production area
  2. 6. Nutrient that helps with plant metabolism and nitrogen transformation
  3. 8. Fertilizers come from sources other than animals or plants
  4. 10. Nutrient that helps with the use of iron and respiration.
  5. 12. Nutrient that is essential to some plnat processes and acts as an enzyme system.
  6. 13. Nutrient that stimulates early formation and growth of roots, fast, vigourous growth, speeds maturity, and helps with flwoer and seed development
  7. 14. Fertilzier that contains products of plant or animal matter and contain carbon compounds such as urea, sludge and animal tankage.
  8. 15. Nutrient that helps with the plant's metabolism, growth hormones, and reproduction
  9. 16. Nutrient that promotes root growth and vegetative grwoth and is essential to protein formulation.
  10. 19. Mixing fertilizer uniformly into the top one to two inches of growing media around the plant.
  11. 20. Fertilizers have all three primary elements. N, P, K (10-10-10, 20-5-20).
  12. 21. Nutreints that influences the intake of other nutrients, makes fats, and translocates phosphorus and fats.

  4. 5. Spreading fertilizer in between the rows and around the plants after seedling emerge from the soil.
  5. 7. Fertlizers that dissolve in water, are applied as a liquid solutation through irrigation systems.
  6. 9. Fertilizers do not have all three primary elements. (20-0-0, 0-20-0).
  7. 11. Nutrient that improves plant vigor, influences intake and synthesis of nutrients, and improves cells walls
  8. 17. Spraying nutrients in a solution directly on plant leaves
  9. 18. Nutrient that is used for plant development and reproduction
  10. 23. Nutrient that affects water absorption in the roots and translocates sugars in the plant.
