Home Gardening Tutorial
There are a few home gardening tips that need to be learned before setting your foot in this task. First, we have to keep in mind that nitrogen takes a pivotal role for the general health of your plants. Here we will learn how it functions. Nitrogen compounds in gardening are the basic elements for amino acids and amino acid is just the previous stage of protein. So Nitrogen is the chief constituent for the protein production in plants. Amino acids form the protoplasm and from protoplasm cells are constructed and developed.
Since vegetable enzymes are protein based enzymes Nitrogen plays a key role in the complex enzymatic reaction, and Nitrogen is also an ingredient for Vitamins like Thiamin and Riboflavin and DNA, RNA structure is formed by Nitrogen base. Here considering the variety of functions that Nitrogen performs we have to cast frequently our vigilant eyes on the fact that whether your plants are getting proper supply of Nitrogen. The fact that Nitrogen may be washed away due to heavy rain or many other reasons, we have to ensure a regular supply of it for the plants.
However excessive amount of Nitrogen may have increased susceptibility to disease and insect attacks. Overdose of Nitrogen may cause the foliage turn red or the plant may become sensitive to low temperature. To know the exact quantity and requirement of Nitrogen we recommend you to purchase a tester that will take the readings of Nitrogen and then accordingly you may add fertilizer. If you do not want any industrial fertilizer we suggest you mix you soil with cow dung, blood fish, soybeans and alfalfa etc. These are enriched with Nitrogen and will cover all the deficiency.
