Vegetables

To maximize yield and quality, vegetable crops require intensive management, and growers must ensure soil is well-drained, and that plants are receiving water with low salinity and the right balance of nutrients. See how Verdesian’s portfolio of nutrient use efficiency products can help ensure a bountiful crop this harvest.

Vegetable Crop FAQs

Key Considerations for Vegetable Crops

Soil & Water Requirements

Vegetable crops are highly perishable and require intensive management to maximize crop yield and quality. Because of this, vegetables grow best on well-drained, graded fields, although they can be grown in almost any soil type that drains well.

Vegetables are sensitive to water quality, preferring low salinity without a lot of soluble salts. However, they do require more water — and more management of water — than most other crop types. They’re also susceptible to disease and pest pressure, so it’s important to scout often and use integrated pest management practices throughout the season.

Key Nutrients

N

Nitrogen

Very important for cell growth; however, too much can damage the plant. Ideal nitrogen levels vary by vegetable.

P

Phosphorus

Important for early development, flowering and fruit set, but too much can affect quality

K

Potassium

Needed in very large quantities, as it’s very important in fruit formation.

Ca

Calcium

A secondary macronutrient that promotes healthy plant growth; needed in high quantities.

Mg

Magnesium

Secondary macronutrients that promote healthy plant growth.

S

Sulfur

Secondary macronutrients that promote healthy plant growth.

B

Boron

Important for healthy cell growth, translocation of sugars and nutrients and protein synthesis.

Zn

Zinc

Helps form indole acetic acid, a plant growth regulator.

Fe

Iron

Needed for photosynthesis and to defend against disease.
