ANSWERS
I enriched the soil with natural fertilizers,
such as animal manure, green manure, and
compost. Since natural fertilizers are healthy
for soil and plants.
Sometimes I used organic pesticide since it is
natural, more environmentally friendly and it
is not expensive. But sometimes I used
Cymbush pesticide since it is more effective.
This Cymbush pesticide is use to protect my
crops from insect pests, weeds and fungal
diseases while they are growing.
I also used nitrogen-15 and phosphorus-32,
which are important nutrients for my plants.
Nitrogen-15 plays an important role in my
plant growth and photosynthesis, the process
through which plants convert energy from
sunlight into chemical energy. Nitrogen is
often added to the soil in the form of
fertilizer. I used nitrogen-15 because it can
determine the effectiveness of fertilizers for
crops. I used phosphorus-32 for tracking the
absorption of fertilizer by the plants from
roots to leaves. I apply the phosphorus
fertilizer by dissolving it on water instead of
applying it directly to the soil.
