how are nitrate ions used?
Plants absorb nitrate ions from the soil, Algae absorb nitrate ions from the water they live in.

what can plant growers do to improve plant growth?
artificially control the environment.
4 of 7
What do they have to evaluate before doing this?
the benefits of increasing growth with the increased cost of heating and lighting or from providing carbon dioxide.
