Two Types of Nutrients
It's All About The Nutrients
Plants
require two types of nutrients for healthy growth --
macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients.
Plants use
macro-nutrients in large amounts while
micro-nutrients are required in trace amounts.
Following is a list of Macro and Micro- Nutrients
and their functional importance in plant growth:
Macro-Nutrients
Below is a list of effects Marco-Nutrients have
on plant growth.
» Carbon - Formation of
organic compounds
» Oxygen - Release of energy from sugar
» Hydrogen - Water formation
» Nitrogen - Chlorophyll, amino acids, proteins
synthesis
» Phosphorus - Vital for photosynthesis and growth
» Potassium - Enzyme activity, Sugar and starch
formation
» Calcium - Cell growth and division, component of
cell wall
» Magnesium - Component of chlorophyll, enzyme
activation
» Sulfur - Formation of amino acids and proteins
Micro-Nutrients
Below is a list of effects Micro-Nutrients have
on plant growth.
» Boron - Vital for
reproduction
» Chlorine - Helps root growth
» Copper - Enzyme activation
» Iron - Used in Photosynthesis
» Manganese - Component of chlorophyll, Enzyme
activation
» Sodium - Vital for water movement
» Zinc - Component of enzymes and auxins
» Molybdenum - Nitrogen Fixation
» Nickel - Nitrogen Liberation
» Cobalt - Nitrogen Fixation
» Silicon - Cell wall toughness
