  2. total percentage of nutrients being applied

  3. Broadcasting

  4. covering the entire area with fertilizer

  5. Calcium

  6. secondary nutrient that Aids in the movement of carbohydrates in plants, essential to healthy cell walls and root structure

  7. Complete fertilizer

  8. contains all three primary fertilizer nutrients (N-P-K)

  9. Elemental fertilizer

  10. provides only one plant nutrient

  11. Fertigation

  12. application of fertilizers through an irrigation system, usually used in greenhouses, golf courses, and nurseries

  13. Fertilizer

  14. any material used to provide nutrients needed to plants

  15. Fertilizer analysis

  16. the composition of active ingredients in the fertilizer, amount of Nitrogen-Phosophorus-Potassium in the fertilizer

  22. synthetic nutrients from minerals

  23. Liquid fertilizer

  24. purchased in powder form and mixed with water, called water soluble, used to water and fertilize at the same time

  25. Magnesium

  26. secondary nutrient that is an ingredient in chlorophyll, helps move the starch within the plant, needed for fat and oil formation

  27. Nitrogen

  28. key element in vegetative growth, determines green color of plants and density, used by the plant to make chlorophyll

  29. Organic fertilizer

  30. naturally occurring nutrient materials from decomposed plant or animal products

  31. Phosphorus

  32. stimulates plant growth and root development, promotes seed formation

  33. Potassium

  34. improves disease resistance, helps in production of carbohydrates

  37. Soluble

  38. dissolved in water

  39. Sulfur

  40. secondary nutrient that helps in the formation of oils and protein molecules

  41. Topdressing

  42. placing fertilizer uniformly into the top one to two inches of the growing media around the base of plants
