Crop plants

Oil burners

________- increase the CO2 in the atmosphere- CO2 is needed for photosynthesis which is needed to provide energy for growth.

Potassium

________- needed in the production of enzymes-> for respiration + photosynthesis.

Phosphates

________- needed to make DNA and cell membranes-> respiration.

Polyethene tunnels

________- protect crops from the weather (wind /rain /temperature) and pests.

Hydroponics

________- growing plants in nutrient solutions instead of water) plants can uptake minerals more easily.

Glasshouses

________- Glass windows /walls let light pass through for photosynthesis which protects them from wind.

Nitrogen

________- helps make amino acids for proteins-> growth.

NPK fertilisers

________- increase the amount of nutrients needed by plants to grow well, making crops grow larger and faster, which increases yields.
