fertilization
The application of fertilizer to fields, gardens, or plants in order to supply them with nutrients and promote their growth.
Die richtige Düngung im Frühjahr ist entscheidend für eine gute Ernte.
Proper fertilization in spring is crucial for a good harvest.
The noun 'Düngung' is derived from the verb 'düngen' (to fertilize). The ending '-ung' turns a verb into a noun that describes the process or action. 'Die Düngung' is therefore the process of fertilizing.
Das Düngen der Rosen ist wichtig für die Blüte.
Fertilizing the roses is important for the blossoms.
This word belongs to a word family: 'der Dünger' (fertilizer) is the substance, 'düngen' (to fertilize) is the activity, and 'die Düngung' (fertilization) is the process. If you know one word, you can understand the others more easily.
Wir verwenden nur organischen Dünger für unser Gemüse.
We use only organic fertilizer for our vegetables.
'Düngung' is often combined with adjectives that describe the type of fertilizer. Common combinations are 'organische Düngung' (organic fertilization), 'mineralische Düngung' (mineral fertilization), or 'gezielte Düngung' (targeted fertilization).
Eine mineralische Düngung kann das Pflanzenwachstum schnell steigern.
Mineral fertilization can quickly boost plant growth.

'die Befruchtung' and 'die Düngung' can easily be confused because both can have to do with growth and plants. But they do not mean the same thing. 'Befruchtung' is a biological process: male and female germ cells fuse so that new life can develop. 'Düngung' means supplying plants or fields with nutrients so that they grow better. In plants, both can occur, but on completely different levels. Memory aid: Befruchtung has to do with reproduction; Düngung has to do with food for plants.
Vor dem Frühling plant der Gärtner die Düngung der Beete.
Before spring, the gardener plans the fertilization of the beds.
Nach der Befruchtung kann sich aus der Blüte eine Frucht entwickeln.
After fertilization, a fruit can develop from the flower.
