PLANT FOODS 



Plants require light, heat, air, water, fertile soil and 

 cultivation. Plant food is composed of decayed vege- 

 table matter and various natural salts and minerals 

 found in the ground. Practically all soils contain 

 limited amounts of potash, phosphoric acid and nitro- 

 gen in available form. Each crop as it grows takes 

 more or less of the available plant food from the soil 

 and continuous planting impoverishes all soils, there 

 fore it is necessary to add fertilizer in some form to 

 replenish the soil. 



HCMrs is organic matter composed of leaves, plants, 

 and decayed vegetation. Peet and leaf mould are ex- 

 amples. Humus is not essential to plant life as 

 plants do not feed upon it, but after it breaks down 

 into its component parts, potash, phosphoric acid 

 and nitrogen are released. 



LiIME is not a fertilizer but helps to improve heavy 

 soils, to break down organic matter and correct the 

 acidity of sour soils. 



POTASH is necessary for developing the fruit or flower 

 bud. It also helps to fill out the fleshy portions of 

 fruits and is necessary for the formation of sugar 

 and starch. It enriches the flavors of fruits and 

 brings out the color of flowers. 



PHOSPHORIC ACID helps the plant to assimilate and 

 to use the other necessary ingredients in the soil. 

 It hastens maturity and is very essential to seed 

 formation and fertility. 



NITROGEN promotes the growth of leaf and stalk and 

 produces color. Soils having excessive nitrogen re- 

 quire the addition of potash and phosphoric acid.
