While supplements and fortification play one role in health needs, he says that fertilizers can make seeds and grains more productive, improve the quality of nutrient uptake, and increase nutrient absorption.

  Connection to soil components from the lab. Potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen all affect the soil and help the crops that are planted in the soil to grow strong, mature faster, and take in the necessary nutrients it needs.

  Connection to soil. Potassium is a component in the soil that helps plants to grow strong and to help fight off disease, so perhaps more potassium and other nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen in the soil will save the crops from disease this way there will be more healthy crops for humans to eat.
