Your plants need a mix of all macro and micronutrients to grow and develop to their full potential and problems can occur if any of those nutrients are missing from the mix , no matter how small . Nitrogen , however , is the most abundant element in our atmosphere and is needed in such large quantities ( 10-60 grams per kilogram of plant mass , to be exact ) and assists with plant health in so many ways that it is rightly considered to be the most important component for supporting plant growth .
Nitrogen is a crucially fundamental component for all life , including humans . It is an important part of many cells and processes such as amino acids , proteins , and even our DNA , with neither plant nor animal being able to survive or exist without it . Nitrogen therefore warrants careful application and monitoring when it comes to your plants . When mismanaged , it can lead to severe environmental problems and sometimes , total crop failure . If you can manage and monitor your nitrogen levels efficiently , it should have a knock-on effect in how you manage the rest of your plant ’ s nutrition , which will inevitably lead you to getting the biggest and best results possible .
