Plants require 13 mineral nutrient elements for growth
...

Cancel
Macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulfur) are plant nutrients required in the largest amount in plants. Micronutrients (iron, copper, manganese, zinc, boron, molybdenum and chlorine) are required in relatively smaller amounts. Additional mineral nutrient elements which are beneficial to plants but not necessarily essential include sodium, cobalt, vanadium, nickel, selenium, aluminum and silicon

  This is interesting because it shows you that if you want to manipulate hormones in an experiment you can use plant growth regulators to mimic the action of hormones.

Overcrowding Overcrowding plants doesn't do it any favors. Plants need room to breathe and good air circulation. They also need light to reach them and planting too densely blocks the plants ability to reach it's full potential. Overcrowding stresses plants and makes them more prone to disease.

Sixteen chemical elements are required for the growth of all plants: carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen (these three are obtained from carbon dioxide and water), plus nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, molybdenum, and chlorine. Some plant species also require one or more of the elements cobalt, sodium, vanadium, and silicon.
