Water is the Most Limiting Factor for Plant Growth, Not Nitrogen

🧵 The TL;DR

Water is the most limiting factor for plant growth, not Nitrogen, as previously thought. This is demonstrated by plants growing well in both nutrient deficient and nutrient-rich soils.

    🔑 Key Points

  • Previous generations were taught that Nitrogen was the most limiting factor for plant growth.
  • Water is actually the most limiting factor for plant growth.
  • Plants can grow well in both nutrient deficient and nutrient-rich soils.
