Abstract
Plants receive their nutrients in the form of various sources in the soil, as well as from chemicals supplied to the crop directly in the form of fertilizers and manure. The choice of a specific fertilizer, and the amount to be used in a given case of irrigated agriculture, depend on the kind of crop, the state of plant development, the time of application, the kind of soil and nutrient residues in the soils, the price of unit nutrient in the field, and the irrigation technology.
