Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient for plants and plays a fundamental role in their growth, development, and overall productivity. It’s a primary component of amino acids, proteins and enzymes, nucleic acids, chlorophyll, and many other vital plant molecules. Here’s a detailed overview of the roles of nitrogen in plant growth and development: 1. Amino […]

Nitrogen and phosphorus losses can be a big concern for the farmer, both environmentally and economically. Most losses are unintentional, but that doesn’t mean they’re unavoidable. In this post, we will explore how OMEX can help you prevent nitrogen and phosphorus leaching through a nutrient management plan designed to stabilize, reduce losses of N and […]

Plants require a total of 16 nutrients to grow, develop, reproduce and remain healthy. Three of these nutrients – nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) – are required in relatively large amounts. These are known as macronutrients. Existing in a delicate balance with each other, the macronutrients each have a big role to play […]
