Phosphorus is necessary for the hardy growth of the plant and activity of the cells. It
encourages root development, and by hastening the maturity of the plant, it increases
the ratio of grain to straw, as well as the total yield. It plays an important part in
increasing the palatability of plants and simulates the formation of fats, convertible
starches and healthy seed. By stimulating rapid cell development in the plant,
phosphorus naturally increases the resistance to disease. An excess of phosphorus
does not cause the harmful eff ect of excessive nitrogen and has an important balancing
eff ect upon the plant.
