7. PHOTOSYNTHESIS
• Efficiency
varies
from
0.1%
To
8%
• Delivery
of
all
micronutrients
into
the
leaf
enhances
efficiency
of
photosynthesis.
• PhotosyntheOc
process
similar
for
plants.
• Increase
in
efficiency
-‐
high
crop

8. DRAWBACKS
OF
CURRENT
METHODS
• 90%
FerOlizers
–
wasted
• Chemical

• Excessive
use
of
chemicals
• Promotes
incidence
of
pests
• High
cost
and
excessive
