Essential Plant Nutrients - 0 views

  • Plants require 13 mineral nutrient elements for growth
  • 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

      Nutrients (in the soid) are needed either in large amounts (macronutrients), medium amounts (micronutrients), or in trace amounts

      Plants can be damaged is there is too much of one nutrient (toxicity) or not enough of a nutrient (deficiency).
  • Five types of deficiency or toxicity symptoms are observed:

      Here are the visible signs if the soil does not have enough of or too much of a nutrient.
  • A nutrient deficiency occurs when the nutrient is not in sufficient quantity to meet the needs of the growing plant. Nutrient toxicity occurs when a plant nutrient is in excess and decreases plant growth or quality
  • Essential plant nutrients: their relative amounts in plants, functions and classification

      This table may be helpful in determining a topic for an experiment. You would only want to choose one nutrient with which to run an experiment.
