Its leaves are typically light green in color and exhibit a fine-toothed, deeply indented morphology. The pronounced bitterness of the leaves originates from compounds such as inulin, lactones, and other secondary metabolites.The plant exhibits partial tolerance to cold climates and achieves optimal growth in cool, moist environments. While it is not highl

Inadequate supply of essential nutrients from the soil for plant growth and development leads to yield losses in agricultural production. To address this issue and ensure plants reach optimal growth conditions, fertilization practices are of great importance. Fertilization supports healthy plant development by correcting nutrient deficiencies in the soil and ultimately enhances agricultural productivity.Plants require macronutrients and micronutrients in addition to carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and

Fertilization is the addition of nutrients to the soil that plants need to grow healthily. Like humans, plants require nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to sustain their life. Without fertilization, plants become weak, yields decrease, and the soil gradually becomes unproductive.Why Is It Important?Fertilization increases agricultural productivity and maintains the nutrient balance of the soil. Without regular fertilization, plant leaves turn yellow, growth slows, and the soi
