Overview
Fertilization, breeding and protection of plants are important steps in helping ensure that plants are healthy and thriving. Fertilization is the process of replenishing nutrient-rich soil to create an optimal environment for the growth of crop or ornamental plants. Breeding involves crossbreeding two varieties of a species to produce new variants with desirable traits like hardiness and disease resistance. Plant protection focuses on preventing pathogens and pests from damaging the crops and ornamental plants on farms and in gardens. Taken together, these steps of fertilization, breeding and protection provide an essential foundation for the health and sustainability of plants.
