If there is one part of plant cultivation that is somewhat neglected, it is plant nutrition, that is, plant nutrition. And to have beautiful plants, you need to have discipline and nourish your plants.
The famous and simplified fertilization.
In this episode, we continue the chat with Master Emerson Salviani, an agricultural engineer who is the greatest specialist in plant nutrition in Brazil and is highly specialized in gardens and landscaping, and serves the greatest landscapers in the country.
We continue the direct and forceful approach that there is life beyond NPK. In fact, there is a lot of life beyond NPK.

NPK corresponds to only 3 of the 17 nutrients necessary for good plant nutrition. But why do we only talk about these 3?
The answer is simple: the macronutrients Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) are essential and are required in larger quantities by plants. They are responsible for vital functions such as growth, root development, flowering and fruiting. However, limiting yourself to just NPK is like taking care of your health by eating only rice, beans and meat. There is much more to the universe of plant nutrition that needs to be considered.
Let's talk about micronutrients, those elements that, despite being required in smaller quantities, are absolutely essential for the balance and health of plants. Micronutrients such as Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper, Molybdenum, Chlorine and Nickel play crucial roles in enzymatic processes, protein synthesis and photosynthesis. Without them, plants can suffer from deficiencies that compromise their growth and productivity.
And it doesn't stop there. Plant nutrition also includes elements such as Calcium, Magnesium and Sulfur, which are considered secondary macronutrients. Calcium, for example, is vital for the structural integrity of plant cells, while magnesium is a central component of chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis.
In this episode, we’ll explore how a holistic and well-balanced approach to fertilization can transform your garden, vegetable patch or crop field. We’ll uncover the secrets to complete nutrition and show you how, with the right knowledge, you can achieve healthier, more productive and resilient plants.
