Question

With fertilizers, solubility refers to _______.(A) the rate or ability of a fertilizer to dissolve in water.(B) how quickly or slowly a fertilizer when dissolved in the soil's aqueous fraction will be available for uptake by plant roots.(C) all of the above

Answer 1

Answer: option C) All of the above

Explanation:

The solubility of fertilizers refers to

- the rate at which the fertilizers dissolve in soil water to ionize and release its constituent ions or molecules

- and the degree (quick or slow rate) to which these constituents ions/molecules are picked up by the root hairs into the plant vessels for absorption and usage.

Thus, all the options apply

Answer 2

Answer: Option C.

All of the above.

Explanation:

Fertilizer solubility is define as the total amount of fertilizer that can dissolve in water at a temperature. It also refer to how dissolved fertilizer in soil aqueous fraction will be available for root uptake. Fertilizer manufacturer normally provide fertilizer solubility data. If a fertilizer is dissolve in water and exceeds its solubility data, it will form clog or precipitate and it might not be more available for plant's root to take it up.
