BASF Podcast: The Chemical Reporter - What Does Fertilizer Have to do With Plant Growth?

LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany, May 28 /PRNewswire/ --     Fat tomatoes, enormous pumpkins, sunflowers that stretch up into the sky
- for some home gardeners, what starts out as a hobby turns into a quest for
the colossal. There are even competitions. And to have a chance, an ambitious
gardener has to do a lot more than just talk to his little green charges. If
you want quick growth and sturdy plants, there's just no getting around it -
you have to fertilize them. In entertaining weekly episodes our Chemical
Reporter answers questions of our Podcast listeners on Chemistry in our
everyday life.
