Transcription of Nutrients Plants Require for Growth
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
Plants Require 17 essential elements for Growth :carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen(N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sulfur (S), cal-cium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), boron (B), chlorine(Cl), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn),molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn).These 17 essential elements, also called Nutrients ,are often split into three groups (fig. 1). The firstgroup is the three macronutrients that Plants canobtain from water, air, or both carbon (C),hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). The soil does notneed to provide these Nutrients , so they are not soldas other 14 essential elements are split into twogroups soil-derived macronutrients and soil-derived micronutrients. This split is based on theactual amount of nutrient required for adequateplant Growth . The soil-derived macronutrients arenitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sulfur(S), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg).
for growth regulators (table 2). Boron is not mobile in plants. Consequently, B deficiency symptoms most often appear on the growing tip of the plant. In B-deficient plants, the growing tip is often deformed. Soils that contain less than 1.5 percent organic matter or are overirrigated tend to be deficient in B (table 3).
