Plants require nutrients. If we supply these in excess will it be beneficial to plant if yes, how? If no, why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, excess supply of nutrients is not advised for healthy growth of plants. Due to the fact that increased concentration of nutrients may lead to the toxicity of particular mineral which prevents that uptake of other minerals and also affect various other metabolic activities of the cell, leading to the poor growth of plant.
