Fertilisers increase productivity by providing more nitrates for protein synthesis and phosphates for ATP production, leading to faster growth, larger leaf surface area, and higher photosynthetic rates.
- increase in nitrate and phosphate concentration - more nitrogen to synthesise protein for growth - more phosphate to synthesise more ATP providing more energy for growth - faster growth - larger leaf surface area - more sunlight absobed - higher rate of photosynthesis
